LSU College Readiness Program Overview

• High school teachers become “certified” in the program by successfully completing the summer workshop training requirements.

• Teachers have access to online content for their students for the specific course they specialize in at the workshop.

• Content is available online in MML for high school Algebra I, Geometry, Algebra II, Advanced Math/Precalculus, Calculus, and 6-8th grade math.

• Teachers “certified” in Advanced Math/Precalculus have the option to complete additional workshops (1 fall and 1 spring) and teach courses for dual credit.

The Plan• Professional Development for 8-days during the

summer in LSU Math Lab

• LSU faculty facilitator and 5 high school mentor teachers

• Workshop content 1. Technology: MyMathLab by Pearson Education2. Pedagogy: Redesigned course delivery3. Content: Math homework for teachers

Dual Enrollment

• The contents of the year-long high school Advanced Math/Precalculus course very closely align with the one semester 3-credit-hour LSU Math 1021 College Algebra and the one semester 3-credit-hour LSU Math 1022 Trigonometry.

• Two additional courses are now being piloted on a limited basis:Math 1431 Business CalculusMath 1029 Contemporary Mathematics

Dual Enrollment

• 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

Elements of a SuccessfulRedesign/Readiness/DE Program

1. Fixed, Structured Curriculum – course(s), contents, setup in MML, grading plan, dual credit, alignment

2. Stable, Sustained Delivery Method – appropriate 1:2 ratio for lecture:lab plan

3. Extensive Teacher Training – multiple workshops, academic year follow-up

4. Well-defined Logistics Plan – administration, communication, student registration

5. Strong Institutional Support – roles, monitoring, release time for faculty

6. Adequate Technology – cost and setup of computer labs, purchasing of access codes

7. Scaling Options – piloting, growing, and expanding
