In this article, we examined the extant literature regarding college-readiness in math for students entering community colleges. Included in this review are the following topics: (a) the role of community colleges between secondary and postsecondary institutions; (b) national initiatives for college-readiness standards in math; (c) Texas college-readiness standards in math; (d) high-school preparation and alignment with college expectation of college-readiness; (e) the history of developmental education; (f) state based initiatives in developmental education; (g) developmental education in Texas; (h) the financial impact of developmental education; (i) workforce qualifications needed for Texas and the United States to compete globally; and (j) cultural capital and systems coherence and alignment theory, and college-readiness in math. A summary concludes this literature review.
