The Maricopa County Community College District received a $581,955 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) beginning October 1, 2025, and concluding September 30, 2030. This Level 3 Improving Undergraduate STEM Education (IUSE) initiative is a collaborative effort between Randolph Community College and Chandler-Gilbert Community College designed to advance mathematics instruction at community colleges nationwide. The project addresses persistent barriers in undergraduate mathematics education by accelerating the adoption of active, evidence-based teaching strategies in precalculus algebra courses, particularly for students whose foundational mathematics challenges impede progression into STEM fields. The project will deliver four primary products and services: (1) creation, modification, and curation of Open Educational Resources (OER) for precalculus algebra tailored to active learning pedagogies; (2) production and distribution of a multi-episode expository documentary showcasing active learning techniques in community college settings, featuring instructor and student perspectives; (3) design and delivery of online professional development programming to equip instructors with tools and support for transitioning from lecture-based to student-centered approaches; and (4) research documentation exploring the critical support mechanisms instructors require when adopting active learning methods. These efforts aim to enhance student engagement, success, and retention while reducing mathematics as a barrier to STEM degree completion.Federal Grant Award Summary
