With the Center for the Analysis of Postsecondary Readiness racing toward its final year in 2019, the center\u2019s three major projects<\/a> will soon put out results from their research into some of the fundamental questions around developmental education. If placement tests do a poor job of evaluating students\u2019 readiness for college-level courses, what do we replace them with? How do we ensure math courses don\u2019t derail the college education of large numbers of students? How are colleges responding to all the discussion around the need for developmental education reform?<\/p>\n In the first half of 2018, CAPR is expecting to release reports on preliminary findings from a survey on developmental education practices, on the effect of colleges\u2019 use of multiple measures placement systems rather than standardized tests alone to place students in developmental courses, and on CAPR\u2019s evaluation of math pathways in Texas, which was the subject of an earlier report<\/a>. Thomas Bailey, CAPR\u2019s director, discusses in a new video what we can expect from CAPR in the coming months and how it connects to the larger community college reform movement.<\/p>\n
