These courses carry the highest DFW rates on campus, derailing student momentum and weakening the nation&#8217;s STEM pipeline. The frustrating truth? We already know what works. Decades of research have produced proven, scalable reforms. The real challenge is putting them into practice.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">This guidebook, developed by Every Learner Everywhere in partnership with Project EMBER (Eliminating Mathematics Barriers through Evidence-based Reforms), a collaborative initiative of TPSE Math,\u00a0 APLU, and The Association for Undergraduate Education at Research Universities (UERU), gives your institution a clear, practical roadmap for transforming introductory mathematics, from first conversations to lasting, systemic change. This isn&#8217;t a theoretical framework. It&#8217;s a field-tested, action-oriented resource grounded in real research and real institutional experience, designed to help your team move from &#8220;we know something needs to change&#8221; to &#8220;here&#8217;s our plan, and here&#8217;s who&#8217;s doing what.&#8221;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>A Proven, Step-by-Step Framework:<\/strong>\u00a0Follow a three-milestone process \u2014 Empowering the Team, Assessing Current Practices, and Planning for Transformation \u2014 that has helped research institutions nationwide move from stalled intentions to real, measurable reform.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Guidance for Building the Right Team:<\/strong>\u00a0Learn how to assemble a cross-functional team that spans university, department, and course-level stakeholders \u2014 including the often-overlooked but essential voice of students.
