| Abstract | As New England and the nation at large become obsessed with "college completion," there is a leak in the pipeline. Many students leave high school who are not "college ready." These students, upon entering college, are often steered toward "remedial" courses that cost money and time. Remedial courses are also generally non-credit-bearing, pushing off the day when students can become educated contributors to society. Plus, research shows that students placed into remedial programs are less likely to graduate. Now, deep-in-debt students and graduation-focused states are taking notice. State adoption of the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) in English language arts and mathematics has been one area of focus to improve student readiness and success in K-12 and beyond. All six New England states have adopted the CCSS and joined one of two assessment consortia, the Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers (PARCC) or Smarter Balanced. The CCSS assessments are slated for 2014-2015 implementation, and with this comes the possibility of new tools for measuring college and career readiness. Given these regional and national foci, the New England Board of Higher Education (NEBHE) sought to better understand the current policies and practices in place for assessing and increasing college readiness in the region. The results of that work is summarized below in order to: (1) Provide information and data on policies and practices across the region; (2) Create a starting point for regional dialogue; and (3) Assist states in examining statewide policies within the context of CCSS implementation and upcoming college readiness assessments. To understand the way states and higher education systems identify students for remediation in New England, NEBHE reached out to practitioners and system- and state-level higher education leaders across the region during the 2011-2012 academic year, and conducted online reviews of remediation policies and practices currently in use. NEBHE also examined a number of pre- and post-matriculation efforts designed to increase college readiness and improve success in remedial courses. This Policy Snapshot is the result from the reviews. (ERIC). |
