Editor's Choice: Post-Testing in Developmental Education--A Success Story
Hodges, Dawn Z.; Kennedy, Nichole H.
Community College Review, v32 n3 p35-42 2004
Georgia's technical colleges and state university system have entered into an agreement that guarantees that five courses will transfer from technical colleges to the university system colleges. The agreement requires that all students requiring development work successfully test out of developmental studies before entering college-level courses in English and math. As initial scores at one technical college were dismal, a committee identified problems and created solutions. Results have shown marked improvement.
