Yet this goal is rarely met. About half of all entering college students participate in developmental education, but only one third of students who enroll in a developmental course go on to earn a postsecondary credential. While some colleges have implemented small-scale programs and various reforms to address this problem, these have not led to substantial improvement in college success rates among struggling students.<\/p>\n<p>One immediate challenge is assessment\u2014finding out who really needs remediation. Recent research shows that common standardized assessment instruments do a poor job of placing students into appropriate coursework. Another challenge is providing instruction and supports that are effective in helping underprepared student progress through college.<\/p>\n<p>The purpose of CAPR\u2018s research is to help advance a second generation of developmental education innovation in which colleges and state agencies design, implement, and scale stronger and more comprehensive reforms that improve student outcomes. CAPR is conducting several studies to help provide a foundation for this undertaking: (1) <a href=\"https:\/\/postsecondaryreadiness.org\/dev\/research\/projects\/developmental-education-policy-practice-assessment\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">a synthesis of evidence<\/a> that will identify effective reforms and offer evidence on closing equity gaps, (2) <a href=\"https:\/\/postsecondaryreadiness.org\/dev\/research\/projects\/studying-equitable-holistic-corequisite-course-design\/\">a study<\/a> of equitable and holistic corequisite course design, (3) <a href=\"https:\/\/postsecondaryreadiness.org\/dev\/research\/projects\/multiple-measures-assessment-expansion\/\">a project<\/a> to expand the adoption of multiple measures assessment, (4) <a href=\"https:\/\/postsecondaryreadiness.org\/dev\/research\/projects\/alternative-placement-systems\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">an evaluation<\/a> of alternate systems of remedial assessment and placement, and (5) <a href=\"https:\/\/postsecondaryreadiness.org\/dev\/research\/projects\/developmental-math-pathways\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">an evaluation<\/a> of an innovative developmental math pathways program.
