Supplemental Instruction in High DFW Math Courses

Gateway math classes (such as MATH 1312 and 1314) and developmental math classes are often courses with high Drop-Fail-Withdraw rates, and students’ failure to pass prevents them from being able to progress in their major courses. This session will discuss several approaches to fostering student success. We will highlight the use of the Supplemental Instruction (SI) model in both developmental and first-year math classes, share student success rates, and discuss both challenges and strategies for effective implementation.
