Basic Skill Education
and Student Success
The Challenge and Opportunities
21
Three-quarters of firsttime students fall into this
category (unprepared)
….Yet, research has shown that commonly used
assessment instruments misplace many
“unprepared” students.

25
Multi-Term Remedial Sequences
Erode Student Completion Rates
26
….Yet, colleges have successfully reorganized
instruction and curriculum to shorten—if not
eliminate—basic skills course sequences for
students.
27
Changing Practices and Policies
Teaching that relies heavily
on using abstract concepts
Teaching in way that references
students’ interests and career
aspirations
Instruction and student
support services siloed
Instruction and support services
integrated, mutually reinforcing
Limited collaboration
between K-12 and CCC
Policies and efforts that reflect
belief in co-responsibility for
student success

Building on Work to Date
• Need to address and connect multiple
components impacting student success
(assessment, instruction, support services,
intersegmental collaboration, etc.), and
SCALE “what works”
30
Basic Skills Transformation Grants

• In funding application, must propose to adopt
or expand two or more “evidence-based”
(high impact) practices and principles
• Goal: Increase number, percentage, and speed
of students (1) completing college-level math
and English and (2) continuing on to graduate
from community college
31
Evidence-Based Principles and Practices
in Basic Skills Transformation Grant
• Strategy 1: Assessment reform
• Strategy 2: Direct placement into college-level
math and English—with appropriate supports

career or industry
32
Evidence-Based Principles and Practices

support services
33
Evidence-Based Principles and Practices

college shows (using evidence) is effective
34
