Remediation and the Community College of Indiana

“Our community colleges must find creativestrategies that embed basic skill remediation directlyinto the academic and technical program courses,giving students a taste of what they came toexperience. Additionally, we must find ways todeliver these programs in more manageable ways,providing these students (many of which are parttime and have been out of school for long periods oftime) with timely milestones that provide immediatebenefit and encouragement to continue.”—Stan Jones,Commissioner, Indiana Commission on Higher Education, 2006
