Contrary to expectations, research shows that these courses generally do not help students advance in college and earn degrees. Low-income and minoritized students are disproportionately impacted.<\/p>\n<p>A growing number of states and colleges are partnering with researchers to rethink the ways developmental education is delivered to produce better outcomes for students and to close gaps in achievement. The field is now at an inflection point: There are many developmental education reforms, each motivated by different views or theories on what students need to be successful. Some interventions show positive effects on short-term measures such as passing college-level courses, but to date, there is little evidence on the long-term effects of developmental education reform. There are also open questions about the generalizability of results and whether effective programs can be brought to scale. Nevertheless, there is pressure for states and institutions to take action.<\/p>\n<p>This roundtable discussion with leading experts will grapple with these issues. Research experts will offer perspectives on what the field has tried and learned to date, and where evidence is lacking. They will be joined by three postsecondary system leaders who will discuss what they have gleaned from the research and how they are using evidence to make improvements. The major questions the session will address are the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>What are the major lessons from rigorous research on developmental education? Is there a consensus on what colleges should (or should not) be doing?<\/li>\n<li>What factors influence whether or not evidence is used to make policy decisions?<\/li>\n<li>How\u2014and to what extent\u2014is research driving changes in practice on college campuses?<\/li>\n<li>What are the big questions that researchers still need to address?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The roundtable will include time for the audience to ask questions and engage in discussion of future directions for research and the field.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-sep-clear\"><\/div><div class=\"fusion-separator
