From 2% to 42%: How relevance boosted AP Stats pass rates on the southside of San Antonio (and, then, across the country)
While teaching at a Title I school on the southside of San Antonio, Dashiell (Dash) Young-Saver (AB '16, SM '21) threw out his traditional AP Stats curriculum and created lessons on topics that his students cared about: voter power, food deserts, the Spurs’ chance at winning the NBA title, online dating, and more. That year, in a region where 2% of students traditionally passed the AP Stats Exam, 42% of his students passed. During the pandemic, Dash put his lessons online. His website became Skew The Script – a nonprofit that provides free, genuinely relevant high school math lessons to over 20,000 teachers and 400,000 students nationwide. In this session, Dash will share about his experience teaching in San Antonio and growing a national nonprofit from the inspiration of his students.
