This report draws on interview data with faculty and staff to examine how seven City University of New York colleges transitioned to fully scaled corequisite courses in English and math and the implications of their choices for early implementation.
The second post in a series on multiple measures assessment (MMA) in a corequisite remediation context, this blog post explores survey results that provide the first update on the increased reach of major developmental education reforms since 2016.
Several recent research publications look at how reforms to the structure of developmental education combine with other reforms and supports to make a bigger difference for students. This blog shares resources to learn more about developmental education and transfer, developmental education and success coaching, and ESL reforms in California, along with several reports on corequisite courses.
Both corequisite remediation and Multiple Measures Assessment (MMA) have been shown to get more students into college-level courses more quickly and to help students pass those courses. But what happens when colleges use corequisites and MMA together? A new CAPR study investigates how placement recommendations using high school GPA and other measures can improve student success in college-level courses.
At the start of 2023, CAPR began a partnership with CUNY on a study exploring the experiences of students and faculty and student achievement under different corequisite models. Hollie Daniels and Maggie P. Fay highlight details of the corequisite study at CUNY.
Researchers at the Center for Postsecondary Success at Florida State University break down their study on how institutions implemented corequisites and statewide student outcomes in light of HB 2223 and examine the relationships between corequisite intensity, structure, and student success in passing developmental courses and accumulating credits in the first year.
In this interview, Brandon Protas, assistant vice president for alliance engagement at Complete College America (CCA), discusses the state of the research on corequisite support and CCA's role in developmental education reform.
As colleges respond to state- and system-wide calls to replace traditional developmental education with corequisite support courses, institutional challenges are preventing them from faithfully implementing these courses as designed.
In this blog post, Lindsay Daugherty of RAND Corporation makes the case for a continuous improvement approach to implementing corequisite remediation and describes two ways colleges can adopt such a perspective.
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.
