This OCCRL project collaboration with the Partnership for College Completion (PCC) will inform the state of Illinois, community colleges in Illinois, and other education stakeholders about the influence and status of measures associated with the Developmental Education Reform Act (DERA) regarding student access and success at community colleges. The project will address the following questions:
OCCRL and PCC will work closely with local faculty and staff to identify meaningful measures and benchmarks of student achievement, ensuring these critical data are collected at the classroom, department, and institutional levels. A quantitative analysis will take place later in the project, using input to inform the evaluation design and data-collection tools, should the recommended idea be implemented.
