Calculus has long been one of the biggest hurdles for students pursuing a STEM degree, with success in Calculus I often determining whether they continue in their major—or switch to something else.

To reduce that barrier, the nonprofit Every Learner Everywhere recently launched the Courseware Lighthouse Implementation Program, an initiative that brings together 12 public colleges and universities to redesign how Calculus I and II are taught.

Rather than introducing a new technology tool into individual classrooms, the initiative works with entire mathematics departments to rethink course design, strengthen faculty collaboration and use student performance data to refine instruction over time. The program follows a six-phase framework that guides departments through planning, implementation and ongoing evaluation.
