If you’re like most community colleges, your developmental math approach is not working for you or your students. Developmental math can drive students away from colleges, either by not enrolling for classes to avoid math or by leaving the college because of poor math experiences.
Because time is of the essence, it’s tempting to jump into a redesign using various approaches you may have heard or read about. But it’s unlikely to be successful, both in terms of buy in and in terms of outcomes. To speed up, we have to start by slowing down.
