4 Remediation and the Community College of Indiana “ Our community colleges must find creative strategies that embed basic skill remediation directly into the academic and technical program courses, giving students a taste of what they came to experience. Additionally, we must find ways to deliver these programs in more manageable ways, providing these students (many of which are part time and have been out of school for long periods of time) with timely milestones that provide immediate benefit and encouragement to continue.”—Stan Jones, Commissioner, Indiana Commission on Higher Education, 2006
