    This resource contains the article "Exponential Attrition and the Promise of Acceleration in Developmental English and Math," which makes the case that high attrition rates are structurally guaranteed in long developmental sequences and that open-access accelerated courses are a promising way to increase completion rates in college-level English and Math.

    Large research studies inside and outside California have established that the more levels of developmental courses a student must take, the less likely the student is to ever complete college courses in English and Math. The California Acceleration Project stresses that we can't keep attributing this problem to students' low skills or low motivation.

    Powerpoint from Dr. Tom Bailey illustrating the data on student progression and success in remedial education.
  • Bruce Vandal on 03 Aug 11
     
    I suggest people look at slide 8 in the presentation that shows the lack of success for students who are three levels below college level in math. Only 10% complete a college-level math course. Bailey concludes that we know very little about why students don't succeed when so far below college level - but it appears the sequence of courses that students have to take allows too many students to drop out of the system.

    This analysis focuses on four different types of interventions for improving students' progress through remedial education and into college-level courses, including (1) strategies that help students avoid developmental education by shoring up their skills before they enter college; (2) interventions that accelerate students' progress through developmental education by shortening the timing or content of their courses; (3) programs that provide contextualized basic skills together with occupational or college-content coursework; and (4) programs that enhance the supports for developmental level learners, such as advising or tutoring.

    Positive outcomes have been reported for university preparation courses for students without disabilities. Little is known about whether these courses can offer the same benefit to students with learning disabilities and whether the inclusion of psychosocial factors, in addition to academic skills, would benefit both groups.

    Describes Getting Past Go's policy framework for how states can more effectively integrate reforms to remedial education policy into efforts to increase college attainment rates. The framework centers on four key policy levers: assessment and placement; data and reporting; delivery of instruction; accountability and continuous improvement; and funding. The report also summarizes the goals and activities of the GPG project. (Bruce Vandal, Education Commission of the States, May 2010)

  • The predictive power of personality measures is compared with the predictive power of measures of cognition captured by IQ and achievement tests. For many outcomes, personality measures are just as predictive as cognitive measures, even after controlling for family background and cognition. Moreover, standard measures of cognition are heavily influenced by personality traits and incentives. Measured personality traits are positively correlated over the life cycle. However, they are not fixed and can be altered by experience and investment. Intervention studies, along with studies in biology and neuroscience, establish a causal basis for the observed effect of personality traits on economic and social outcomes. Personality traits are more malleable over the life cycle compared to cognition, which becomes highly rank stable around age 10. Interventions that change personality are promising avenues for addressing poverty and disadvantage.
