Students of color and low-income students are still disproportionately left out of the advanced math classes that can boost their chances of admission to certain colleges. @PamelaBurdman and Ed Trust-West's Rachel Ruffalo examine solutions.

OPINION by @PamelaBurdman: What math courses students take – and when they take them – can make a world of difference for their futures. #caedu#STEM#edchat#caleg#capol

@ThankUBayesGod@Melodiekbaker I do not think I have ever advocated for replacing Algebra 2 with discrete math. This seems to be another straw man claim. I have Norm Matloff blocked.
In middle school, being tracked into lower-level courses contradicted my math identity and eroded my confidence: https://t.co/tUeM4oGnna via @Melodiekbaker@JUST_Equations for @hechingerreport

Here's why your college probably should not treat calculus as a de facto requirement for admission, especially when many of your majors do not have math requirements.
Our team mourns the loss of Chris Edley Jr., former @UCBerkeley law school dean, who was instrumental in launching Just Equations. An undergrad math major, Chris knew math is central to ed equity. A short thread to celebrate his legacy in civil rights and math education: 1/6
Rest in power Chris Edley. He served as @UCBerkeley interim School of Education Dean 2021-23. He encouraged us everyday to educate like democracy depends on it.
Congratulations to @UTSA student and #TMO2024 student voices panelist Julius Cervantes for his recent op-ed on the importance of data, statistics, and math relevancy.

@TracyZager It depends on the college and the student. The “rejectives” do accept some students wo calc, but not many. Check out our report “Calculating the Odds.” Counselors said Ss who take stats or other courses probably should explain why in their applications.
Not all paths to college are created equal. Register today for the @JUST_Equations’ annual conference, #TMO24. We are proud to co-sponsor a discussion moderated by @AngelBPerez on building diverse student bodies in #STEM programs.

Join us for the @JUST_Equations annual conference, #TMO24. We are proud to co-sponsor a discussion moderated by @dtkung on the links between community college students’ math coursetaking and their opportunities to transfer to four-year universities. https://t.co/Ype60JcvCq.
Honored to be moderating this fantastic group of experts! Looking forward to discussing how math transfer issues can be improved (solved?) to make higher ed success more equitable.
