Ms. Getz’s work at the Dana Center focuses on supporting systems to modernize entry-level mathematics programs through the implementation of the Dana Center Mathematics Pathways Model. She oversees a team that develops and offers tools and technical assistance services coordinated with policy reform to enable state and local leaders to make mathematics pathways a reality in classrooms and institutions and across regions and states. Many of these tools and resources are available at https://dcmathpathways.org/.

Getz formerly served as the Dana Center’s Manager of Community College Services and also led the development of the QuantwayTM curriculum in partnership with the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching.
Prior to coming to the Dana Center, Getz taught math for 20 years in high school and college. As the founding Director of the Freshman Mathematics Program at Fort Lewis College in Durango, Colorado, Getz taught developmental and gateway mathematics courses and led a significant effort to reform the courses and support services in the program. During Getz’s tenure as Director, the program achieved significant improvements in student success in both developmental and college- level math courses and was credited with having a significant positive impact on freshman retention rates. Getz was also the Principle Investigator on two state Math-Science Partnerships that provided professional learning services to K-12 math educators in 14 school districts.
