Through a multi-year, national calculus study, researchers have recently identified seven
characteristics of successful college calculus programs. We identified these seven …

Abstract The Mathematics Department at Cornell University has recently secured a grant
from the University to implement systemic change in how we teach courses that reach …

In this chapter we offer insights into the various ways that course coordination can be
designed and implemented, drawing from the SEMINAL project's study of six mathematics …

Our department is in the early stages of a multi-year effort to nurture a culture that values

Research suggests learning assistant (LA) programs can be a change lever to support the
institutionalization of active learning in postsecondary education. Some research suggests …

This is a follow-up to an earlier case study [Faudree, J. 2021. Courage by experiment,
rescue by data. PRIMUS. 31 (3–5): 483–491.] describing one Math Department's attempt to …

We leverage course coordination and a department-level curricular committee structure,
called Strand Committees, to drive evidence-based departmental changes in the Calculus …

We describe how one department moved from skepticism to wide-spread embrace of
coordinated Calculus I. Data played a crucial role in this process. Details of this journey …

Calculus has long been known as a “gateway course” to STEM fields in postsecondary
education. To moderate this gatekeeping effect, Montclair State University researchers …

Prior formative assessment research has shown positive achievement gains when classes
using formative assessment are compared to classes that do not. However, little is known …
