Only 33% of students placed into Dev Math complete the sequence
Data and graphics from National Center for Postsecondary Research Only 33% of students placed into Dev Math complete the sequence 195 students Approx. 7% in MCCCD complete all 3 courses (13 of 190)

Typical Roadblocks Traditional instruction is not the best format for everyone. (Mike) Many Dev Ed Math students lack the confidence, preparation, and support needed to succeed. (Jennifer) There are limited resources available for students and faculty. (Paul) The handout has links to most of the resources

Collaborating with Colleagues
Faculty create videos and homework problems and share them with colleagues across the district and the world

Next Steps? Expand use of iPads in the classroom
Expand use of OERs and Flipped formats Expand Hybrid & Online course offerings Continue to schedule classes to enable cohorts Diagnostic test and Dev Ed Modules Accelerate the course sequence (two course in one semester) Consider Ideas such as “Concepts of Numbers” Course Design (Montgomery County Community College –
