Exemplar Advising Model for Placement from the University of North Texas

This bibliography summarizes selected research that informs the Frameworks for Mathematics and Collegiate Learning course which is built on four pillar (or themes): (1) building community and connecting to campus resources; (2) developing and maintaining motivation for success; (3) developing and using study strategies and skills; and (4) finding your direction in college (and beyond).

This resource is a comprehensive curricular guide to the "Frameworks for Mathematics & Collegiate Learning Course". The curricular materials were developed by the Dana Center Mathematics Pathways (DCMP) project through a collaboration between the Charles A Dana Center and the Texas Association of Community Colleges. The materials include background information on the structure and content of the course, including information about the research of which it is based and the development and pilot testing of the materials.

This resource supports faculty members implementing a learning frameworks course at their institution, especially faculty implementing the Dana Center Mathematics Pathways model, as they modify or deepen activities to meet the needs of their students.

This tool is intended to help a small institutional team think strategically about how its college might provide supports to build faculty capacity in terms of breadth (increasing numbers of faculty involved) and depth (building leadership and expertise).

The purpose of this tool is to help a state develop an inventory of mathematics course requirements by program and by institution. The inventory can be used by the state mathematics task force to assess alignment of program requirements across the state. It can also be used by program chairs, mathematics faculty, advisors, and others to inform decisions about aligning mathematics requirements with programs of study and to advise transfer students.

Setting long-term goals for scaling an innovation communicates an institution's collective vision. This tool provides a structure and process to set goals for mathematics pathways at your college.

This 1-page resources is used to inform audiences of the Dana Center Mathematics Pathways (DCMP) resource site. Its context describes how each site page is purposefully designed to help higher education stakeholders take action towards math pathways and build awareness of the Dana Center’s work and math pathways in general.

This tool provides a process for gathering different perspectives on the goals that your college should set for implementing math pathways.

In this video Temple College student Travis Graves shares his experience in taking math courses aligned with the DCMP Model, which allow him to learn math that is applicable to everyday life. (2:31)
