THE CALIFORNIA ACCELERATION PROJECT
CAP supports colleges to increase student completion of transfer-level English and math through evidence-based practices that reduce or eliminate students’ time in remediation.
High-Leverage Practices: Transforming placement policies to broaden access to transfer-level
courses and enable all students to begin higher in the sequence Contextualizing math remediation to students’ program of study -- algebra
for math-intensive pathways, statistics & quantitative reasoning for others Redesigning curricula to accelerate students through remediation,
including co-requisite models at the transfer-level and single-semester remedial courses aligned with the transfer-level courses in students’ program of study

SAMPLE FOCUS GROUP RESPONSES:

WHY A CO-REQUISITE MODEL? “With co-requisite remediation…students can
enroll directly into college-level courses and receive academic support alongside their regular classes.” (Bethke).
They have been producing dramatic gains in completion of college-level courses (adopted system-wide in Tennessee, Colorado, Indiana, Virginia). (CAP)
Equity gaps for African-American and Hispanic students narrowed or disappeared completely. (CAP)

101X AND EQUITY
![Page 18: B ASIC S KILLS W ORKSHOP, F EBRUARY 16, 2016 Wendy Smith Professor of English Curriculum Development Specialist San Diego Mesa College Corequisite Remediation](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052608/5a4d1b817f8b9ab0599bb3fe/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
EQUITY IMPLICATIONS FOR OUR CURRENT ONE-BELOW ACCELERATED COURSE Completion rates are greater for accelerated
students than comparison groups across all ethnicities.
Since we know that Latino and African-American students are generally more likely to enroll in accelerated English than other students, we know we’re doing a good job of getting them into the accelerated pipeline.
Assuming our course mirrors statewide trends, we are improving overall transfer English completion rates for these groups
