| Abstract: | In 2016, Illinois initiated a statewide transitional math program to support students to be academically ready in college-level math before graduating from high school. This qualitative study focuses on the perspective of community college faculty and administrators on the statewide implementation of transitional math programs. We find that a successful partnership between high schools and community colleges is perceived as key to designing, implementing, and improving transitional math programs to ensure effective teaching and learning. However, community college leaders perceived that it remains unclear how transitional math programs impact student success, college enrollment, and educational equity. We provided practical implications for both transitional math programs and the broader developmental education reform. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
