Cycles of Improvement: The Texas Transfer Partnership Strategy

The Transfer Partnership Strategy (TPS) was a one-year collaboration that built on the work of the Texas Transfer Alliance. TPS effectively used regional coordinators to facilitate collaboration and communication between community colleges and universities.

Community College Students Assessed as Needing Mathematics Remediation: Seven-Year Impacts of Corequisite Remediation with Statistics

Corequisite remediation, which places students directly into college-level work with additional academic support, has emerged as a robust alternative to stand-alone, prerequisite, developmental education. In 2013, we conducted the first published experimental evaluation of corequisite remediation. Our seven-year outcomes data indicate that the benefits of corequisite remediation with college-level

Emerging Solutions #4 - Accelerating Equitable Mathematics Success Deep in the Heart of Texas

In the United States, mathematics is a barrier that prevents many students from reaching their educational goals. Research shows that math is a significant contributor to education equity gaps.1 Students have differential access to quality math curricula and quality teachers, and the mathematics course sequences traditionally offered in schools and colleges fail to serve most students. Too often
