    Urges policymakers to focus the mission of community colleges in three core areas: basic skills education, career technical education and preparation for transfer to four-year universities. The Commission called for shifting adult basic education from the state education department to the community college system, and for giving more authority to the chancellor to oversee the campuses.

  • Many colleges are also offering block scheduling to help cut students’ energy costs. Brevard Community College (Florida) now operates on a four-day work week, which has had mixed reviews. Some students are happy to have a day off, while others find it difficult because the longer classes mean less time to handle daily responsibilities, college officials said. J. Sargeant Reynolds Community College (Virginia)also uses a form of block scheduling to cut the cost of commuting for students. Under its Fuel Smart Fridays program, students come to campus once a week and can still earn a full load of credits. The program operates on a 16-week semester.

Findings have more to do with coordination of the scale up, than actual results. Findings consistent with earlier research that the learning communities did not result in effective curriculum integration or alignment.

    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)
  • Bruce Vandal on 23 Feb 10
     
    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.
