Douglas, Daniel; McKay, Heather; Edwards, Renee – Grantee Submission, 2020
In 2015, Bergen Community College (BCC) received a grant from the U.S. Department of Education First in the World Grant Program. The grant entitled Alternatives to Mathematics Education: An Unprecedented Program (AMP-UP), was awarded to conduct a randomized control trial on a corequisite approach to developmental math education. This study was…

Douglas, Daniel; Logue, Alexandra W.; Watanabe-Rose, Mari – Educational Researcher, 2023
Community colleges are essential for United States higher education, but their students have low retention and graduation rates. Community college students assigned to mathematics remediation are particularly unlikely to graduate. Corequisite remediation (college-level coursework with additional support) has shown short-term increased student…

Douglas, Daniel; Edwards, Renee; McKay, Heather – Grantee Submission, 2020
In 2016, Union County College began a four-year experiment with corequisite developmental mathematics as part of a grant from the U.S. Department of Education's First in the World (FITW) program. In this experiment, students assessed as needing to take developmental mathematics courses would be eligible to receive a waiver from their developmental…

Logue, A. W.; Douglas, Daniel; Watanabe-Rose, Mari – Educational Evaluation and Policy Analysis, 2019
Traditional mathematics remediation is based on the theory that traditional mathematics remedial courses increase students' subsequent academic performance. However, most students assigned to these courses do not pass them and thus cannot graduate. An alternative approach, corequisite remediation, assigns students instead to college-level…

Logue, A. W.; Watanabe-Rose, Mari; Douglas, Daniel – Educational Evaluation and Policy Analysis, 2016
Many college students never take, or do not pass, required remedial mathematics courses theorized to increase college-level performance. Some colleges and states are therefore instituting policies allowing students to take college-level courses without first taking remedial courses. However, no experiments have compared the effectiveness of these…

Logue, Alexandra W.; Douglas, Daniel; Watanabe-Rose, Mari – Education Next, 2017
Across the United States, more than half of entering freshmen discover they are ineligible for college-level coursework each year, most commonly in math. The readiness gap is widest when considering students at nonselective two-year colleges, and students who are black, Hispanic, or from low-income families. It often spells disaster for students…
