Description

Join Anna Stokke in conversation with Dr. Adrian Mims.  He is the co-founder and CEO of the Calculus Project, which is a non-profit organization that aims to increase the number of Black, Hispanic, Indigenous and low-income students taking calculus, starting with support in middle school.


They discuss why he started The Calculus Project, the various components of the program, and its overall impact.  They talk about what he calls “the quiet crisis,” in reference to declining math scores, and why it’s important to turn that around.  They discuss the importance of offering math acceleration options for middle school students.  They talk about the consequence of students finding themselves in a position where they must take remedial math in university.  Moreover, Dr. Mims shares some valuable advice for policy makers on how to improve math outcomes for students who have historically been underrepresented in math.  This episode will be of interest to teachers, school administrators, parents, policy makers and anyone with an interest in improving math outcomes.
