The Charles A. Dana Center at The University of Texas at Austin enables more rural students of color to have the math preparation necessary to successfully transition into postsecondary programs that lead to high-wage, high-demand jobs in the Texas economy. Support from Greater Texas Foundation will allow the Dana Center to launch a two-strand approach to strengthening critical transition points for students in rural Texas. The first strand will involve conducting a statewide analysis of equitable access to and success in math at transition points from middle school to high school and high school to postsecondary education. The second strand will build and support a network of rural districts in Texas that primarily serve students of color. The network will codevelop solutions that improve these transition points.
