We work closely with educators, district leaders, policymakers, businesses, and innovators from public, private, and nonprofit sectors. We’d love for you to join us.
At Carnegie’s Pathways National Forum faculty members, administrators, institutional research staff, and education researchers gathered to continue their efforts to reclaim the mathematical lives of students who place into developmental mathematics.
Carnegie has selected two organizations to work with to better understand the work practices of networks that are deliberately organized to improve teaching and learning in schools, colleges, and other places where people learn.
Andrea Levy, Statway instructor at Seattle Central Community College, speaks about how she supports her students intellectually and emotionally to help them succeed.
Carnegie's Pathways has launched several subnetworks, a team of NIC members, to work together on a specific problem, challenge, or development priority within the Network.
The high levels of student success from the first year of Statway and Quantway highlight the power of working together, across campuses as a Networked Improvement Community.
The Carnegie Foundation has launched a national network of 27 community colleges and three universities dedicated to helping students at the greatest risk of failure in math which is showing promising results.
Carnegie is developing an information system that integrates real-time faculty and student data with institutional records to inform continuous improvement for the Pathways network.
Carnegie has launched Lesson Study within the Pathways to help faculty share ideas across the network and improve the teaching of Statway and Quantway.

There are 1200 students enrolled in 60 sections of Statway™, and Quantway goes live in classroom beginning in January. Over 80 faculty members are now network members,…
A concrete way to learn how a Networked Improvement Community (NIC) might organize and carry out a better program of educational R&D is to build one. In this spirit, the Carnegie Foundation in partnership with several other colleagues and institutions, is now initiating a prototype NIC aimed at addressing the…
During a July convening at Carnegie with representatives from several organizations working on increasing success for community college students in developmental mathematics, participants came up with some tensions that need to be acknowledged and/or addressed. Those include: Increased pressure to increase graduation and completion rates and the desire to get…
