6. Testing and placement
 Colorado specific assessment
 Uniform multiple measures built into assessment
system
 Consistent test administration statewide
 Validate assessment scores every 3-5 years
 System level administration in addition to college
site administrators for local control

7. Student support
 Use CCCSE practices
 Orientation
 Goal setting and planning
 No late registrations
 First year experience
 Student success course
 Tutoring
 Supplemental instruction
 Case management/academic advising/career coaches
 College develop a plan to use for planning, initiating,
and sustaining success for developmental students

8. Faculty support and development
 Colleges create a professional development plan
 Offer limited full time positions to current adjunct instructors
during implementation
 Provide release time for implementation
 Course release and reassigned time to develop and implement
student success strategies
 Functional work groups on campus—i.e. BANNER, Advising,
Testing—address the issues of the implementation process
 Provide, with CCCS, continuing professional development
focusing on research-based strategies
 Train transfer level and developmental faculty

9. Measures of success
 Successful developmental students and programs
should be measured in the following ways:
 In Math – Successful completion of any college level (100+)
math course
 In English and Reading – Successful completion of any college
level (100+) English course or any college level discipline
strands course.
