As the saying goes, it takes a village. Curriculum Research Group is no exception. Established in 2009 under the leadership of Dr. Helen Burn, and with the support of Highline College, the Curriculum Research Group has collaborated for over two decades with an interdisciplinary group of researchers and practitioners across multiple initiatives, projects, and grants at the state and national level. The projects are related and synergistic in focusing on state and national curriculum in mathematics and quantitative methods courses for students completing associates degrees or applied baccalaureate degrees. These projects include:
- Alternative Grading in Calculus III
- Historical intersection of the statistics and eugenics at University College London
- Scaling Data&101 in Washington State Community and Technical Colleges
- The Math You Need, When You Need It (NSF DUE #0633402/0633755)
- The National Study of Calculus: Characteristics of Successful Programs in College Calculus (NSF DRL #0910240) sponsored by the Mathematical Association of America
- Transitioning Learners to Calculus in Community College (NSF DUE I-USE #1625918)
- The Transition Mathematics Project
- Mathematics Pathways to Completion (MPC)
- StatPREP (NSF DUE #1626337) sponsored by the Mathematical Association of America
