High School Mathematics Curricula and College-Level Performance
The speaker will discuss results from five longitudinal studies that examine the relationship between various high school mathematics curricula, NSF-funded and not NSF-funded, and college-level performance. In general, they found high school curricula not to be a determining factor in students' subsequent college-level performance.
