3. What? A systemic approach to improving student success and completion by reforming developmental and gateway mathematics based on four principles. 3

4. Principles of the NMP Model Developmental mathematics students should have access to: 1.Multiple pathways aligned to specific fields of study 2.Acceleration that allows students to complete a college- level math course more quickly 3.Intentional use of strategies to help students develop skills as learners 4.Curriculum design and pedagogy based on proven practice 4

5. Dana Center’s Role: State Level Broadly support reform based on the four principles:  Work with TACC, state agencies, and two- and four-year institutions to address policy obstacles  Leverage resources and build support through collaboration with partners:  Other reform initiatives  Professional organizations 5

6. Dana Center’s Role: Institutional Level Build tools and services that help colleges implement systemic reform  Detailed implementation guide  Data templates  Tools and strategies to help train advisors and plan for student recruitment 6

7. Dana Center’s Role: Faculty & Classroom Level Develop materials and services to support on-the-ground implementation  Course materials  Professional learning opportunities – general and specific to the Dana Center’s course materials The development process is based on input from and engagement with community college faculty and staff. 7
