3. TPSE Beginning in 2014, held five regional meetings
Roughly 500 mathematicians participated in total
All sectors represented
(Two-year, four-year, liberal arts colleges, major research universities)
Community generally support of need for change
Significant innovation underway but no systematic dissemination or scale-up of successful new strategies
Determined the need for catalyst to build partnership and collaboration on systemic transformation agenda

4. TPSE
Based in part on regional meetings, transformation agenda developed to give focus and structure for innovations, many already underway
Create multiple pathways for quantitative literacy
Rigorously assess new teaching and learning strategies, including the use of technology, to improve student success
Create upper division pathways to prepare students for careers in emerging areas that need mathematicians (data science, Cybersecurity, mathematical finance, K-12, etc.)
Modify graduate education to give more students exposure to career possibilities outside academe

5. TPSE Activities to date Created Math Advisory Group (30 dept chairs)
Established liaison for each CBMS member
Held two meetings for math department chairs to discuss implementation of the agenda (~300 total)
Established partnership with APLU, AASCU, NASH, CCA, Dana Center and CFAT to scale-up multiple pathways nationally
Established partnership with ITHAKA to test efficacy of adaptive learning platforms in entry level math courses
Obtained support from Sloan, Carnegie, Lumina, Gates, NSF

6. TPSE
TPSE especially focused on upper division pathways at this time (agenda item 3)
Upper division pathways
What are the high demand areas?
How much demand is there?
What skills are needed in these areas?
Do we need systematic way of getting demand data?
What resources/support do departments need to respond to these opportunities?
Would regional workshops based on successful models be helpful?
June 14 convening
Is there a role for CBMS in this effort?
