Interesting read.
One of the last pieces I collaborated on prior to my departure from USBE. I’m thrilled to celebrate Utah’s amazing secondary mathematics ecosystem! #mathing “For example, Utah has worked to create new pathways and rethink the traditional progression of math courses. Working with The Charles A. Dana Center at The University of Texas at Austin and taking part in their Launch Years Initiative, Utah has made some proactive changes. The first includes implementing a structure where students were not pushed on one track toward calculus, but instead had the option to choose math courses that better aligned with their post-secondary goals or career trajectory. The state also began to offer students college credit for entry-level college math courses (statistics, quantitative reasoning, and college algebra). “Consequently, these changes had a dramatic impact on student test scores: “[Utah] did extremely well in PISA and also didn’t decline significantly during the pandemic,” says Boaler, the Nomellini-Olivier Professor of Mathematics Education at the Stanford Graduate School of Education and author of “Math-ish: Finding Creativity, Diversity, and Meaning in Mathematics.” In fact, Utah’s NAEP assessment scores improved so much in 2022, that they were ranked second in the nation. On top of that, the percentage of students completing four years of high school math rose from a meager 28% in 2012 to a staggering 87% in 2020. According to Boaler, Utah has “managed to do things mathematically that many people have tried for years and not succeeded in doing in the U.S. For example, they don’t teach algebra and geometry in high school. It’s all integrated, which is much more compatible with the mathematics in the world, of course, and the mathematics in PISA.”” https://lnkd.in/ggcaRkMq
