MPS Math Performance Success I have been very interested in your MPS program. Supporting the study and success of Math students is a great thing!
StatWay Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching http://www.carnegiefoundation.org/statway Overview The Carnegie Statway analysis and quantitative reasoning. These mathematics skills are essential for a growing number of occupations and professions, and are those needed for making decisions under conditions of uncertainty, an inescapable condition of modern life. This is the math that will help students understand the world around them and it is the math they can use right now. Statway is designed as a one-year pathway that culminates in college-level statistics. The year-long experience will concentrate on statistical content with requisite arithmetic and algebraic concepts taught and applied in the context of statistics. The Statway structured especially to serve students planning to transfer and continue further studies in humanities or social sciences. Students who have unexpected success in quantitative courses, particularly when their experiences of mathematics has been difficult before, may become emboldened and may decide to take more mathematics. This pathway includes newly developed curricula as well as an intensive student engagement component within the classroom environment focused on increasing student motivation and tenacity. These supports include the information and the skills needed for academic success as well as tools that will help students to navigate college. Statway online materials were launched in 19 community colleges in five states in August 2011. In addition to lessons and student supports, the pathway includes MyStatway out-of-class activities and homework. These take the place of a textbook, which is not required. Networked Improvement Community is focused on statistics, data pathway is , online

Statistics Support Group for Instructors Idea Exchange, once a year have a meeting of the minds on curriculum and projects. Math Special Project course
Tutoring SCAA http://www20.csueastbay.edu/library/scaa/tutoring.html Tutoring is an excellent job skill for students of Mathematics and Statistics majors Being able to explain what a mathematical formula means in words and what it is useful for is great preparation for a job interview.
