professor educator.  \nShe earned her Bachelor's Degree in Biomedical Engineering from the University of Cincinnati in 2008 .  \nWhitney earned her Masters of Business Administration in Quantitative Analysis from the University of Cincinnati, Lindner College of Business in 2010 . She earned her Doctorate of Philosophy in Biomedical Engineering/Engineering Education also from the University of Cincinnati. Whitney also works with the Emerging Ethnic Engineers (E3) Program. She teaches Calculus 1 during the Summer Bridge program and instructs Cooperative Calculus 1 during the school year.  \nContinuing with her commitment to community involvement, Whitney has previously served on the National Executive Board for the National Society of Black Engineers, a student-managed organization with more than 30,000 members. She served as the Planning Chairperson for the 2013 Annual Convention and is currently an advisor for the Great Lakes Region.  \nDr. Gaskins the President of the Sigma Omega graduate chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc.  \nShe is also a member of the Society of Women Engineers, the Women's Alliance, the National Technical Association, The Biomedical Engineering Society and the National Alliance of Black School Educators amongst other activities. She is Deaconess at New Friendship Baptist Church. Whitney was recognized in the 2013 Edition of Who's Who in Black Cincinnati.  \nDr. Darryl Dickerson, Purdue University-Main Campus, West Lafayette (College of Engineering)  \nDarryl A. Dickerson, PhD serves as Associate Director of the Minority Engineering Program at Purdue University and Chief Executive Officer of Advanced Regenerative Technologies. He received his PhD in 2009 from the Weldon School of Biomedical Engineering where his research focused on the development of naturally-derived biomaterials specifically for the regeneration of interfaces between hard and soft tissues. Subsequently, he founded BioRegeneration Technologies to translate the benchtop work performed during his graduate studies to clinical practice. During his time as a graduate student, Dr. Dickerson gained significant management and leadership experience as a member of the Board of Directors (2004 – 2009) of the National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE) . His work with NSBE culminated in his service as President, Chairman of the Board, and Chief Executive Officer and the launch of the Summer Engineering Experience for Kids (SEEK) program in 2007 – 2008. In 2012, he joined the staff of the Minority Engineering Program at Purdue and has since taken on the role of Associate Director. In this capacity, he manages the staff members in executing programming designed to transform the College of Engineering into a more diverse and inclusive environment by increasing enrollment, retention, and success of underrepresented minority students in engineering.  \nMs. Virginia Lynn Booth-Womack, Purdue University-Main Campus, West Lafayette (College of Engineering)  \nVirginia received her B.S. in Industrial Engineering and a B.A. in Psychology while at Purdue University. She is currently the Director of Minority Engineering Programs in the College of Engineering. She assumed the position in 2004 after 18 years of manufacturing experience. Her last assignment was Lean Manufacturing Manager for the for the 3.7L and 4.7L Mack Engine facilities at Chrysler Corporation in Detroit, Michigan. Virginia has applied lean manufacturing concepts to identify and close the achievement gap between under-represented minority engineering students and the total engineering cohort. This was achieved focusing on first semester performance and first year retention through implementation of an aggressive transition program targeting first year engineering students from historically under-represented","cbCaiiSm8Zou8RHK","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiiSm8Zou8RHK","pdf",332071,11,"English","# Abstract\n## Algebra as a gateway skill\n## AB7G pilot program overview\n## Program structure and tracking\n# Introduction","[{\"question\":\"Why is algebra presented as important for students?\",\"answer\":\"Algebra is described as a gateway skill that links to higher-level math courses and supports better outcomes in later first-year college mathematics.\"},{\"question\":\"What is the AB7G program and when does it start?\",\"answer\":\"AB7G is a pilot program beginning with students in 3rd grade and continuing each year until 7th grade, when students are exposed to algebra and hands-on projects.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the program assess student progress?\",\"answer\":\"Participants use the ALEKS web-based student assessment system (or similar software) to measure mastered skills and skills needing more practice, with staff and volunteers adding hands-on lessons.\"}]","Numeracy: Preparing Students for Success in Algebra | PDF",1790463074,28]
