Description

Thank you for your interest in Achieving the Dream's DFW Analysis and Exemplars in Two-Year Institutions initiative. ATD will partner with Network colleges to examine gateway mathematics outcomes, identify patterns and trends, and elevate promising practices that may contribute to stronger student success.

Selected colleges will participate in a quantitative data collection and analysis phase and may be invited to participate in a qualitative case study phase. The project is designed to build knowledge for the field, support institutional learning, and share examples of effective practices across community colleges.

Phase I participants will receive a $3,000 stipend and technical support from ATD to assist with data submission. A subset of colleges will be invited to participate in Phase II case studies and will receive an additional $5,000 stipend.

Before beginning, we encourage you to review the 
full application. This will help you understand the information and materials needed before you begin. Applications should be submitted by individual ATD Network colleges with current Network status.

We appreciate your interest in contributing to this important effort to better understand and improve gateway mathematics outcomes for students.

ATD hosted an informational webinar for interested colleges to provide an overview of the initiative, participation expectations, required data elements, and application process, as well as an opportunity to ask questions. You may access the recording:
