The Redesign Alliance

Increasing Student Success in Developmental and College-Level Math

Many institutions face the problem of growing numbers of low student success rates in both developmental and college-level math courses. NCAT has ten years of experience in conducting large-scale course redesign programs that improve learning while reducing costs. Math redesigns at NCAT partner institutions (both two-year and four-year) have

  • increased the percentage of students successfully completing a developmental math course by 51% on average (ranging from 10% to 135%), while reducing the cost of instruction by 30% on average (ranging from 12% to 52%), and
  • increased the percentage of students successfully completing a college-level math course by 25% on average (ranging from 7% to 63%), while reducing the cost of instruction by 37% on average (ranging from 15% to 77%)
Co-sponsored by the University of Missouri–St. Louis, this workshop is designed for those who want to replicate those successes. NCAT Redesign Scholars who have led successful redesign projects at two- and four-year institutions will join NCAT in sharing their redesign approaches and results achieved. Participants will interact with those who have successfully launched a redesign and learn about the issues they faced and how they resolved problems that arose. There will also be an opportunity to visit the Math Learning and Technology Lab at UMSL. This event is open to the higher education community — please join us!

Note registration for this event is limited.
