Not Just Faster: Equity & Learning Centered Developmental Education Strategies. MSI Consortium for Innovation and Change
Jones, Tiffany; Assalone, Amanda
Southern Education Foundation
The Southern Education Foundation's (SEF) Minority-Serving Institution (MSI) Consortium for Innovation and Change was instituted in 2011 to advance creative and promising initiatives that enhance institutional practice and student outcomes. In keeping with the SEF mission, these innovations specifically address educational barriers that disproportionately affect the degree-seeking low-income and student of color populations operating under the purview of higher education. This project was devised to target the persistent problem that developmental education (DE) poses for many, as both an impediment to degree attainment as well as an issue that disproportionately impacts low-income students and students of color. SEF engaged five MSIs along with a Technical Review and Support Team to launch an eclectic set of DE innovations. This report includes a summary of the DE interventions, evaluation strategies, and program outcomes at the participating institutions. Additionally, it offers descriptions of the evidence-based models that have been effective for DE at the MSIs, including: (1) Summer Bridge Program; (2) Co-Requisite Courses; (3) Interdisciplinary Curricula; (4) Extended Courses; and (5) Accelerated Math. It highlights effective strategies utilized by the campuses in an effort to scale the initiatives and lessons to consider for scaling such models. Finally, it concludes with recommendations for advancing DE reform efforts to improve teaching and learning while simultaneously addressing equity issues. [Technical review and support for this report were provided by Stephen Porter, Josh Pretlow, Leticia Tomas Bustillos, and Paul Umbach.]
