Are accelerated models for developmental English and reading a dream or a reality? This session will share retention and success data on accelerated models and multiple measures placement. Data will be shared from several accelerated developmental English models implemented at a five-campus community college system over a three-year period: the CCBC co-requisite, the triangle co-requisite, and a block-scheduled co-requisite model linked to reading. Data will also be shared on modular developmental reading. Finally, this session will discuss the process and results of the change from an ACT/Accuplacer English placement to multiple measures using ACT, HSGPA, Accuplacer, and writing sample.
