Developmental Education in Arizona: Past Results, Present Initiatives, and Future Progress

NEWLY LAUNCHED REPORT

 

The state’s economic prosperity is limited by an education system that lacks timely support, early in the system and during critical transition points. Supporting efforts to align K-12, community colleges, universities and industry with a focus on eliminating the achievement gaps is critical to maximizing economic growth for the state and economic security for marginalized members of our communities. Developmental education is a key step in the educational pipeline that links K-12, the community colleges and the universities. Across all genders and race/ethnicities, developmental education student outcomes are lower than for non-developmental students, as discussed in this report.
