Developmental Education Work Group

The Developmental Education Work Group will review the diversity of developmental education offerings across the state, address any inequities and opportunities for improvement, and identify best practices that result in high postsecondary retention and completion rates. These efforts will help the Future Ready Iowa Alliance implement strategies for reaching the statewide goal for 70 percent of all working-age Iowans having postsecondary credentials by 2025.

A second group, the High School and Community College Developmental Education Partnerships Work Group, was established to identify components of effective college transitions models based on current pilot initiatives, and to develop recommendations to scale across Iowa.
