    This paper reviews evidence on the number of students who enter community colleges with weak academic skills and on the incidence and effectiveness of developmental education. The paper also presents a broad reform agenda based on a comprehensive approach to all aspects of developmental education. (Thomas Bailey, Community College Research Center, Teachers College, Columbia University, November 2008)
  •  
    This paper is very important to the reform effort. It lays out a specific agenda on how to differentiate the delivery of developmental education. Bailey argues for "mainstreaming" students into college-level courses and providing additional academic support for those students who are modestly underprepared. It also raises concerns about how to serve those students who require 3 or more developmental courses.
