Online Presentations about Redesigning Developmental Mathematics
based on professional standards and a vetted curricular model — increasing student success and completion
The New Life Model — 5 minute presentations
These videos are based on the most recent work and best thinking about reform in developmental mathematics.
(1) Reform: The Big Picture
Reform the Big Picture 2013
An overview of the issues in developmental mathematics — and why redesign is not enough.
This presentation mentions other reform efforts (Dana Center New Mathways, Carnegie Pathways). You can see a current comparison of these models in this document: Summary of Three Emerging Models for Developmental Mathematics
(2) Reform: The New Life Model
Reform The New Life Model 2013
The New Life model for developmental mathematics — a curriculum to accelerate students to completion; in many cases, one course at the pre-college level will be enough.

(3) The Mathematical Literacy Course
Math Lit Overview 2013

Why Change Dev Math
(January 20, 2012) — A overview of WHY basic changes are needed in Developmental Mathematics.

Dev Math Mission – Why Have Dev Math
This video looks at the mission of developmental mathematics as the basis for any redesign effort.
Developmental Math — What Is Now?
This video reviews the typical courses and content in developmental mathematics — before we change, we should understand what we have had!
New Life Vision
This video is based on the New Life curricular vision, which creates a totally redesigned developmental mathematics program … some students would need only the first course (“MLCS”), and proceed directly to their college course.
For further details, see the New Life wiki page http://dm-live.wikispaces.com/Basics+Of+New+Life
MLCS_Course
This video describes the first course in the New Life Vision — a course for all students, and the only course many students would need (“one and done”).
MLCS_Content
This video provides an overview of the content, in some detail, of the MLCS course.
For further details, see the New Life wiki page http://dm-live.wikispaces.com/Mathematical+Literacy+for+College+Students
Transitions Course (now called Algebraic Literacy)

Instructional Materials New Life
March 2012 Update on materials:
There is now enough activity on implementing New Life courses that textbook companies are developing products to support these courses. I have had conversations with editors at Pearson, and at Cengage. They would prefer that I not share details of their plans (since publishing plans are subject to changes for many reasons) … however, the companies are working hard to get materials ready. Based on what I know, some materials will be ready for class testing this coming year (2012-2013), with regular materials published later (late 2013, early 2014). I hope this information helps you plan as you consider whether you can implement a New Life model (MLCS and Transitions) at your college.
Coming soon — future attractions!
