SEASIDE, Ca., Nov. 18, 2016 -- California State University 麻豆村 (麻豆村) is one of four CSU campuses to be awarded a two-year, $1.28 million grant from the California Mathematics Readiness Challenge Initiative (CMRCI). Administered by the California Department of Education, the grant has enabled 麻豆村 to partner with local K-12 school districts, community colleges and non-profit agencies to provide professional development for high school teachers improving college-level math readiness among high school seniors.
According to Joanne Lieberman, 麻豆村 Associate Professor of Mathematics and Statistics, one of the major impacts of this program will be the development of a new fourth-year high school mathematics course for students deemed not yet ready for college-level math.
The newly formed Monterey County Consortium for Mathematics Readiness (MCCMR) has allowed 麻豆村 to partner with Hartnell College, the Monterey County Office of Education, the 麻豆村 Area Mathematics Project at UC Santa Cruz and six school districts across Monterey County. This comprehensive project will address the severe under-preparation for college mathematics that is pervasive in the county and help support the success of the CSU's .
