Guiding Objective Students complete gateway courses and enter programs of study in their first academic year 7

What is Statewide Scale? A state system where... the vast majority of students... at the vast majority of institutions... receive academic support as a corequisite..... resulting in dramatic increases in the number of students completing gateway math and English courses in one academic year. 8

Policy Objectives for Gateway Course Success 1. The default placement for most students will be gateway courses. 2. Provide additional academic support as corequisite, not prerequisite. 3. Establish a placement range instead of a single cut score. 9

More Students in Gateway Courses DON’T:  Try to build the perfect test  Create a new rigid system for sorting students DO:  Dismantle unnecessary barriers by placing the vast majority in gateway courses  Accept that the majority of students need some support – cognitive and non-cognitive  Provide that support in the college-level gateway course – as a co-requisite 21
