Dual Credit Program Fall 2006 - Present Contents of the year-long high school Advanced Math course very closely align with the one semester 3- credit-hour LSU College Algebra and the one semester 3-credit-hour LSU Trigonometry Students have same Homework, Quizzes, Tests, and Final Exam as LSU students using MyMathLab. Teachers present 1/3 of the face-to-face classroom time; students work 2/3 of the face-to-face time in a computer lab environment with teacher support.

College Readiness Program Summer Workshop Plan High school teachers become “certified” in the program by successfully completing the summer workshop training requirements. Teachers have access to online content for the specific course they specialize in at the workshop. Content in MML Alg I, Geometry, Alg II, Advanced Math, Business Calculus, Calculus, and 6-8 th grade math.
10
The Plan Professional Development for 8-days during the summer in LSU Math Lab (DE teachers attend an additional workshop) LSU faculty facilitator and 7 high school mentor teachers Workshop content 1. Technology: MyMathLab by Pearson Education 2.Pedagogy: Redesigned course delivery 3. Content: Math homework for teachers College Readiness Program Summer Workshop Plan
