Developmental Math Course for TCUS: Standardizing Pathways to College-Level Success
Page: 1369
This study examines the opportunities and challenges in developing a shared, online developmental math course recognized across Montana Tribal Colleges and Universities (TCUs). Using a qualitative case study, the research examines the perspectives of faculty, staff, and administrators, institutional readiness, and perceived cultural responsiveness. Findings are showing strong interest in a unified, certificate-based model that promotes equitable access, supports collaboration, and integrates Indigenous values. The study contributes to ongoing discussions on culturally responsive and sustainable mathematics pathways at TCUs.
