About the Grant

The Successful Advancement in Mathematics (SAM) plan was developed to redesign Victor Valley College’s math program by adopting evidence based practices that promise to improve student outcomes. The SAM Grant has begun making an impact by:

  • Providing professional development opportunities for VVC Math faculty.
  • Upgrading classrooms by installing state-of-the-art Clear Touch digital displays to increase interaction.
  • Installing Diversiboard dry erase skin panels all around the room to increase student engagement and group collaboration.
  • Host symposiums and workshops to promote collaboration between VVC and local K-12 educators.

...and this is just the beginning...
