Actions Still Needed
• Ensure that districts are working to identify and support middle-school students with low achievement levels in mathematics and that high-school students enroll in course sequences that provide instruction aligned with the Common Core State Standards.
• Ensure that districts and higher-education institutions present more opportunities for contextualized mathematics learning with hands-on experiences.
• Ensure that intensive math remediation is available and that students are placed in co-enrolled postsecondary, credit-bearing courses with remedial support.
• Ensure more significant state merit scholarships and internships are offered to motivate our highest-achieving math students to stay in Rhode Island.
