Overview
The Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching is an independent policy and research center whose primary mission is "to do and perform all things necessary to encourage, uphold, and dignify the profession of the teacher and the cause of higher education." It seeks continued support for a program that will, over the next decade, address the low levels of success in math education in community colleges. This funding would enable Carnegie to develop and launch a field-wide research collaboration network that would develop programs to leverage OER in an open research network to shift community college math tracks from an emphasis on calculus to a mastery of statistics.
