Expectations+of+Project+Colleges

 Participating colleges will be expected to demonstrate clear and visible department-wide and institutional commitment to the project and engage math faculty around key issues of mathematics instruction (including an explicit emphasis on involving adjunct/part-time faculty in the work). Colleges will also support cross-campus connections and sharing of practice within the project and across the system. Specifically, p articipating local projects will be expected to: · Use principles and standards for high quality mathematics education to guide departmental-based implementation plans focused on core areas of educational practice (curricular restructuring, instructional practices, and assessment (diagnostic formative and summative); ·  Ensure a consistent focus on the TMP College Readiness Standards, TMP resources and products, and the RPM project’s core elements and suggested  developmental course restructuring strategies; · Participate in activities and resource-sharing across local projects and with other mathematics initiatives to extend the reach and scope of RPM; · Utilize technical support and assistance provided by the Washington Center and by other program-supported state and national resource providers and experts; · Contribute to and promote an electronic clearinghouse of resource materials and lessons learned that support quality mathematics education; · Develop a sustainability plan that addresses how the work begun in the project will continue after the grant expires; · <span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif';">Participate in project-wide data collection and analysis for the purposes of formative and summative <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">evaluation, with particular attention to evidence available through the system Student Achievement Initiative database. <span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif';"> <span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif';"> <span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; msobidifontfamily: Calibri; msobidifontsize: 10.0pt; msofareastfontfamily: Calibri; msolist: Ignore;">a. <span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">Provide regular fiscal and programmatic documentation: <span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; msobidifontfamily: Calibri; msobidifontsize: 10.0pt; msofareastfontfamily: Calibri; msolist: Ignore;">1. <span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">Submit monthly invoices using OBIS.
