In 2013, the Florida legislature passed a law eliminating placement test requirements for high school students and allowing them to decide whether they wanted to enroll in developmental education courses. This blog post describes research findings related to the reform, which indicate it has improved equity outcomes and accelerated student progress.
In this CAPR podcast, CCRC's Nikki Edgecombe, Susan Bickerstaff, and Elizabeth Ganga discuss how colleges could alter their academic and nonacademic supports to more effectively help all students.
Elizabeth Ganga and Amy Mazzariello | April 2019
This brief, written in conjunction with the Education Commission of the States, describes the evidence for multiple measures placement and offers an overview of the types of multiple measures placement systems used across the country.
