North+Seattle+Community+College

North Seattle Community College will increase student achievement in college level math courses by improving student success in and progress through their pre-college math sequence with the following strategies:


 * 1) the design and pilot of a year-long cohort model precollege math sequence, entitled ALIGN* for Success, incorporating attributes/study skills focus and culminating in an intermediate algebra course linked to an environment science course. [*ALIGN - Algebra Learning Inquiry Group at North] COHORT PAGE
 * 2) the reformation of the NSCC precollege math program to focus on the delivery of a contextually-based curriculum. To accomplish this we will develop a learning resource bank of contextually-based interdisciplinary learning activities. __RESOURCE BANK PAGE__
 * 3) Incorporation of common core assessments and more formative assessments across precollege math classes. ASSESSMENT PAGE

**Faculty Assigned to RPM Projects:**

 * **__Overall Project__** - Edgar Jasso (ejasso@northseattle.edu), Deanna Li (dli@sccd.ctc.edu)
 * **__Faculty Inquiry Group (Reflection Friday)__** - Michael Gaul (mgaul@northseattle.edu)
 * The Math faculty has formed a FIG around student learning, reflection Fridays, where we share classroom experiences, successful teaching techniques, etc.
 * __**Classroom Assessment Techniques**__ - Ben Aschenbrenner (baschenbrenner@sccd.ctc.edu)
 * To support the use of Classroom Assessment Techniques, both formal and informal, in the classroom by our math faculty.
 * **__Classroom Exchanges__** - Barbara Goldner (bgoldner@northseattle.edu)
 * Fomenting the use of classroom exchanges as a valuable resource for our faculty.
 * **__Data Analysis__** - Betsy Campbell (bcampbell@sccd.ctc.edu)
 * Gathering data from our common entry Student Survey
 * Trying to correlate student's retention on math skills during the inter-quarter breaks
