The Carnegie Foundation catalyzes transformational change in education so that every student has the opportunity to live a healthy, dignified, and fulfilling life.
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.
Carnegie Fellow Jim Stigler highlights how if teachers create recurring and sustained exposure to three key learning opportunities (productive struggle, explicit connections, and deliberate practice), students can become flexible experts.
Carnegie's Pathways are design and testing around arousal reappraisal, which instructs individuals that the physiological arousal experienced during stress is not harmful, but rather can be conceived of as a coping resource that aids performance.
In designing two alternative mathematics pathways for students taking college developmental math classes, Carnegie has acknowledged student baggage as one of the key drivers that must be addressed to fully support student success.
In early 2014, Achieving the Dream, Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching, and Jobs for the Future will jointly explore with community colleges, higher education organizations, philanthropy, and other stakeholders the feasibility of creating a “Breakthrough Collaborative” to address the alarming failure rate of students in post-secondary remedial mathematics…
This report presents the student outcome data from 2012-2013 Statway and Quantway classes across the network. The success of the previous year was repeated as the network expanded.
In its second year, Carnegie’s Community College Pathways program sustained its high level of student success while also experiencing a growth in the number of students enrolled and the number of campuses teaching Pathways.
Carnegie’s Pathways have had notable success in their first implementation. In addition to their high success rates, Rob Johnstone finds that Statway and Quantway very well may make money for an institution.
This Change Magazine article captures the unique experience of Pathways students and faculty and highlights the power of improvement science to generate transformational learning opportunities and increase student success.
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.
White paper, Improvement Research Carried Out Through Networked Communities: Accelerating Learning about Practices that Support More Productive Student Mindsets, explores improvement science as a way to address problems facing educators.
In the Pathways, Carnegie is testing a set of strategies to help students persist and succeed academically. This report examines this kind of persistence, called Productive Persistence, which is addressing the alarming student failure rates.
Carnegie's report on how the productive persistence strategy within the Community College Pathways has resulted in positive changes in student engagement and outcomes to addressing the alarming failure rates of students in developmental mathematics.
The results from the first year of Community College Pathways Program, the 2011-2012 academic year, show a dramatic rate of success for students enrolled in developmental mathematics. Learn how Pathways is achieving these impressive results.
The Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching’s newly developed community college mathematics pathway in statistics, Statway™, has achieved dramatic results in the initial implementation, tripling the success rate for developmental mathematics students in half the time. “These are impressive results from a program in its first year of implementation.…
