Abstract

The WrightMath Enrichment Program, which enrolled its first participants in the fall 1994 quarter, is designed for high achieving at risk students from under-represented minority groups who attend Wright State University. Our program incorporates ideas from the University of Missouri at Kansas City Supplemental Instruction Program and Uri Treisman's research at the University of California at Berkeley. The program encourages commitment to success, cooperative learning and ethnic awareness.
