The Developmental Education Task Group (DETG), chaired by Nicole Adsitt from Cayuga Community College, is conducting an environmental scan of resources in developmental education. The focus areas include developmental reading, writing, math, and college-level courses using an embedded skills approach. Subcommittees are evaluating best practices, course redesign models, and technology strategies to develop recommendations and resources. The next steps involve reviewing recent SUNY survey data and considering a poll for supplemental information from Chief Academic Officers.

FACT2 2013 Task Group Progress Developmental Education Task Group (DETG) • Subcommittees are actively researching and evaluating best practices, reviewing literature, looking at institutional pilots/models, and specific technology strategies in order to develop recommendations. • Common themes across groups are: researching course redesign models (Emporium, accelerated, self-paced, etc), MOOCS/open source educational resources, software like MyFoundationsLabby Cengage, and contextualized/embedded teaching models. • The reading subcommittee is also exploring Inquiry Based Learning Models. The math subcommittee participated in the NROC webinar and will be looking into the model and Hippocampus. • The reading and writing subcommittees had a joint meeting and decided to merge in the near future. • Next steps: continue subcommittee work, review recent SUNY survey data related to developmental education, possible poll to Chief Academic Officers to ask for supplemental information, review timeline at March meeting
