Happy Friday, all! We wanted to alert you to a few good reads before the weekend.
Yesterday, our friends at Jobs for the Future released a revamped Achieving Success newsletter. The new version is going to be published bimonthly and will be chock full of updates about how the ATD/DEI State Policy Teams are advancing dev ed reform. In the latest edition, we learned about the Center for Student Success in Michigan, developmental math redesign in North Carolina, and ABLE/Dev Ed integration in Ohio. The newsletter is not available online, but you can subscribe to future editions.
Today, Dean Dad wrote about developmental education on his “Confessions of a Community College Dean” blog over at Inside Higher Ed. Based on research suggesting that students likelihood of success decreases as they spend more time in dev ed, he ponders ideas getting students through these courses more quickly or letting them bypass them altogether. Looks like he thinks we need to escape the weight of history, too.
