Developmental math programs have undergone a tremendous amount of change and scrutiny in recent years, all in an effort to increase success rates. But students still often struggle for reasons beyond their mathematical skill alone. Every student deserves an equal opportunity at success — not just to complete developmental courses but to continue and succeed in subsequent courses. If we can provide individual students with the tools that they need, we have a better chance of creating an equitable experience for all. Join bestselling author Elayn Martin-Gay as she discusses strategies and tools for empowering students and increasing equity in developmental math courses.
