Day: Thursday November 4 Time: 4:00pm Place: BH 105 Title: Transition Math Project: College Readiness Standards Speaker: Bill Moore, State Board for Community and Technical Colleges Abstract: The Transition Math Project (http:www/transitionmathproject.org) is a collaborative project involving math faculty from K-12 schools, community and technical colleges, and baccalaureate institutions, and is supported by state agencies and business leadership. The ultimate goal of the project is to help more students make a smooth and successful transition from high school to college-level work in math and other disciplines requiring mathematical reasoning by helping more of them be "college-ready" when they enter postsecondary education. The initial phase of the project involves establishing a set of standards defining what students need to know and be able to do to be college-ready with respect to mathematics and quantitative reasoning. On November 4th Dr. Bill Moore, the project director and coordinator of assessment, teaching, and learning for the State Board for Community and Technical Colleges , will be providing more details about the project, sharing the working draft of these Readiness Standards, and inviting participation in both responding to the language and substance of the standards and discussing the potential implications of defining and implementing such expectations. Cookies: In BH 300 at 3:30pm.
