Overview

Developmental education is perhaps the most controversial area of post-secondary education. This program will focus on some of the controversies surrounding developmental education. These controversies include the location of programs in two vs four year schools; the nearly exclusive use of standardized tests to place students in programs; the practice of mandatory placement into developmental courses; the relationship between the developmental and college level curriculum; and the relationship between placement in developmental courses and degree completion. Research on developmental education policy and practice is conducted by government agencies, institutional researchers and practitioners. Each of these stakeholder groups brings a unique perspective and set of questions that adds to our knowledge of best practices in this field. This program will review research related to developmental education controversies and make suggestions about future directions for research and practice.

Objectives

Participants will learn how to:

ask critical questions about developmental education that will inform future practices
design more effective developmental education interventions
develop effective evaluation tools for their developmental education interventions

Who should attend?

Developmental educators who are interested in learning more about the context in which developmental education is practiced; administrators who are responsible for developmental education placement programs and the evaluation of developmental education programs; and researchers who are new to the field.

Who is the speaker?

Cathrine Wambach had a 30 year career as a faculty member and administrator in the General College of the University of Minnesota, one of the oldest developmental education programs in the USA. She has published articles in the Journal of Developmental Education and Research and Teaching in Developmental Education.
