The brief, <a href=\"https:\/\/www2.ed.gov\/about\/offices\/list\/opepd\/education-strategies.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><em>Developmental Education Challenges and Strategies for Reform<\/em><\/a>, also discusses the high cost of remediation and its effects on students\u2019 ability to complete college. Finally, it explores promising strategies for reform, including improving college readiness among high school students, compressing dev ed sequences, corequisite remediation, and improved student supports.<\/p>\n<h2>What Works Clearinghouse Practice Guide<\/h2>\n<p>The IES brief is based in part on a What Works Clearinghouse practice guide released in late November, <a href=\"https:\/\/ies.ed.gov\/ncee\/wwc\/Docs\/PracticeGuide\/wwc_dev_ed_112916.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><em>Strategies for Postsecondary Students in Developmental Education<\/em><\/a>.
