Student attrition is at the heart of the matter.

Guiding Objective

Students complete gateway courses and enter programs of

study in their first academic year

12

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.

13

Policy Objectives for Gateway Course Success

1. Design STEM and non-STEM math options.

2. The default placement for most students will be gateway courses.

3. Provide additional academic support as corequisite, not prerequisite.

4. Establish a placement range instead of a single cut score.

14

Mathematics must be aligned

with programs of study.

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
