Dr. Keith Pachlhofer shares UCA’s co-requisites math success in Austin, Texas.
On Friday, February 16, 2018, Dr. Keith Pachlhofer shared data from UCA’s co-requisite math program with educators from the state of Texas in Austin. In Texas, House Bill 2223 stipulates the remediation strategy for institutions for higher education. Currently, about 25% of all developmental education in the state is offered as a co-requisite program. By 2020, however, Texas institutions will be required to offer only co-requisite developmental education for students in need of remediation. Influenced by HB 2223, Texas institutions and educators invited faculty and administrators who have developed successful co-requisite developmental programs to the state to share their successes. Dr. Pachlhofer presented on the development of, challenges within, and improvements to UCA’s co-requisite math courses.
