\u201cCorequisite Support\u201d<\/a> for students who currently place in traditional remedial math and English classes at NSHE\u2019s degree-granting institutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\u201cBy redesigning first-year math and English classes, adding additional instruction time to these college-level courses, and requiring mandatory tutoring for students who need the support, we have seen very promising data across the nation that students are more successful,\u201d Chancellor Thom Reilly said. \u201cThis approach allows students to \u2018kill two birds with one stone,\u2019 by completing the college-level work while also receiving needed remedial support designed to ensure greater success.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In Nevada and across the nation, traditional remediation has been shown not to work. Reilly explained that too many students who start non-college credit remediation courses are unsuccessful in completing their gateway course. Students, often from underserved and critical populations, also face psychological challenges and long pathways to gateway course completion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIf we are to close the achievement gap for underserved and critical populations, we need to start with transforming remediation,\u201d Reilly said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
National data from states including Colorado, Tennessee, California, Texas, West Virginia, and Florida among others, have shown much higher student success outcomes in corequisite support courses. This is true across all levels of academic preparedness. Even for students entering at the lowest remedial courses, their success rates are dramatically higher in corequisite support courses versus traditional remedial pathways, Reilly explained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve seen success of this approach at the University of Nevada, Reno and Nevada State College, as well as nationwide support for corequisite remediation,\u201d Reilly said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":1221,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"categories":[39,6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1395","news","type-news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-39","category-press-release"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nshe.nevada.edu\/system-administration\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news\/1395","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/nshe.nevada.edu\/system-administration\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/nshe.nevada.edu\/system-administration\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/news"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nshe.nevada.edu\/system-administration\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1395"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nshe.nevada.edu\/system-administration\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1221"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/nshe.nevada.edu\/system-administration\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1395"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nshe.nevada.edu\/system-administration\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1395"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nshe.nevada.edu\/system-administration\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1395"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
