June 24, 2019 | SUNY Strong Start to Finish Placement Workshop
In this session, researchers will share information on why colleges should consider using multiple measures, options available to them, and factors to take into account when implementing the system.
Researchers from the developmental education field are examining reform efforts both new and old, including Dana Center Mathematics Pathways and corequisite remediation. This roundup highlights several new studies worth a look.
In this Q&A, CAPR Principal Investigator Nikki Edgecombe discusses the developmental education reform landscape, as well as what attendees can expect at the center's November conference.
What Math Do Students Need to Know?
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.
