This project designs materials to help both instructors and students to see science as an expansive and inclusive set of practices. It explicitly defines scientific competence as participation in these practices.
The Equitable Math Assessment Project will promote the adoption of the Calculus Big Ideas framework, create assessment resources which align with the re-organized content and activities for the BAM-C Course Guide, and develop a checklist tool for teachers to reflect on daily teaching practices.
Calculus and discrete mathematics are both prerequisites for advanced work in many fields, including mathematics, computer science, and engineering. Unfortunately, prevailing forms of curriculum ...
This project will equip more faculty with the tools to cultivate inclusive online learning environments so all students can perform to their full potential.
This project will expand their biology community of practice focused on design-based learning and assessment of faculty mindset that promotes student engagement, collaboration, and sense of belonging.
This project establishes a concurrent Calculus Lab as supplementary student support centered on practical and contextualized active-learning activities.
This project will integrate active-learning activities, shift to a student-centered pedagogy, and develop materials to support a flipped classroom model.
This project establishes equitable, alternative grading strategies developed by a district-wide Community of Practice.
This project redesigns placement practices, streamlines course pathways, and builds active learning activities.
An initiative of the California Governor’s Office of Planning and Research in partnership with the Foundation for California Community Colleges, Learning Lab aims to improve learning outcomes and close equity gaps across California’s public higher education segments, particularly in the STEM disciplines, by leveraging technology tools and the science of human learning to foster student success in online and hybrid course environments.
