| Abstract | This digest offers community college academic leaders a synopsis of the key components necessary for building a successful developmental education instructional framework. Specific emphasis is placed on program structure, faculty, and program improvement. Developmental education is defined as "courses or services provided for the purpose of helping underprepared college students attain their academic goals." According to the research summarized in this document, exemplary developmental education programs operate within established instructional environments where value and high expectations for positive student outcomes take precedence. The author discusses the merits of centralized developmental education programs and provides insights regarding the characteristics of decentralized programs that are able to achieve "a coherent philosophy of teaching" and effective organizational structures. Specifically, the research highlights the importance of leadership, the articulation of common goals, and the integration of developmental courses. The strength of developmental education teaching has also been identified as essential to improving student outcomes. However, only a minority of community colleges require their developmental education faculty to have specific training in this field. Professional development for faculty is one strategy for addressing the issue of instructional quality. (RC) |
