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.
In a recent New York Times Sunday Review article, Clinton Leaf questioned the effectiveness of traditional clinical drug trials. We argue that improvement science is an alternative, effective research method.
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.
A white paper prepared for the White House meeting on "Excellence in Education: The Importance of Academic Mindsets" focused on ensuring the ideas presented at the meeting could achieve effectiveness with reliability at scale.
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.
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.
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.
This report presents the student outcome data from 2011-2012 Statway and Quantway classes across the network.
The essay “Building on Practical Knowledge" presents a third way to conduct research that incorporates practitioner knowledge using Networked Improvement Communities.
In Reinventing Discovery: The New Era of Networked Science, Michael Nielsen explains how the internet has created the conditions for a completely open research field in which increased collaboration can help spur innovation.
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 two pathways, Statway and Quantway, to help students succeed in developmental mathematics. Statway and Quantway are more than courses, they are entire new instructional systems.
Carnegie is launching the Carnegie Alpha Lab Research Network, a National Science Foundation funded project that aims to coordinate the efforts of researchers interested in leveraging their own research expertise to improve the Carnegie Pathways.
Statway is continuing to show early signs of success. 88% of students who passed the first term of Statway have enrolled in the second term and will earn college credit with its completion.
