Four Responses to CAPR's "Five Principles for Reforming Developmental Education: A Review of the Evidence"

Center for the Analysis of Postsecondary Readiness
In October 2022, the Center for the Analysis of Postsecondary Readiness (CAPR) released a systematic review of evaluation literature on developmental education reforms to identify interventions found to have positive effects on student outcomes entitled, "Five Principles for Developmental Education: A Review of the Evidence" (see ED624623). To supplement findings and recommendations found in the report, CAPR invited four individuals knowledgeable about developmental education to respond to the report based on their own experiences and perspectives. Dr. Tamara Bertrand Jones, associate professor of higher education at Florida State University; Dr. Aisha Lowe, vice chancellor for educational services and support at the California Community Colleges Chancellor's Office; Dr. Desmond Lewis, associate vice chancellor for college readiness at Houston Community College; and Dr. Maxine Roberts, director of Strong Start to Finish, contributed the short essays presented in this supplement. Their views and insights--based on many years of engagement with developmental education practice, policy, research, and reform--are a valuable complement to the CAPR report. One of the key commonalities in their responses is that while the current developmental education reform movement has produced real benefits for students, it still requires more intentional and targeted approaches to promote equity in student success.
