Glendale Community College has received a nearly $3 million grant from the U.S. Department of Education to establish a mathematics program designed to improve student learning through technology, individualized instruction and academic support.
The $2,999,073 grant will fund the five-year Math E.M.P.O.W.E.R.S. initiative, which will replace traditional lecture-based instruction in participating math courses with interactive learning software, self-paced lessons, flexible scheduling and personalized assistance. The program also will incorporate artificial intelligence tools and develop students’ basic AI literacy skills.
The college plans to establish five mathematics learning environments, including one pilot classroom funded by the institution and four classrooms supported by the federal grant. Funding also will cover classroom renovations, instructional materials, faculty development and student coaching.
