The Developmental Landscape
Lack of readiness for college-level math & English Lack of articulation/transition between high school
math standards and college-level math standards High failure rates in developmental math courses
and subsequent math courses Impact on retention
Strategies
Re-design 3rd and 4th year h.s. math courses: Introduce modules to assess/reinforce math skills needed for college.
Diagnose skills at time of college placement Offer “fast track” course modules to improve placement Offer “all in 1” developmental math courses (basic math,
beginning algebra, and intermediate algebra) Assess learning styles and match instruction accordingly Form learning communities for skills in all areas
