The Colorado Plan
  • The Task Force

16
The Charge
  • The Developmental Education Task Force (DETF) is
    charged to review developmental education
    practices throughout the CCCS and make
    recommendations on what steps the system will
    take to become the premier purveyor of
    developmental education in more streamlined and
    efficient ways, resulting in greater student
    success.
  • Through data and research in structure and
    policy, the DETF will holistically examine the
    role that developmental education plays in
    overall student success. The DETF will
  • Review and clarify the purpose of developmental
    education and analyze implications for policy and
    practice resulting from a clarified purpose.
  • Review current system policies and practices
    related to developmental education and propose
    revisions that will promote greater student
    success in alignment with sound academic
    principles and practice.
  • Investigate and analyze measures of success, data
    reports and studies on success of developmental
    education students.
  • Examine structures for developmental education,
    highlighting innovative and successful
    strategies, improving the student experience and
    identifying barriers to success.
  • On the basis of a comprehensive review, recommend
    broad strategies and specific initiatives related
    to developmental education that should be pursued
    by Colorado's Community College System Colleges,
    leading to enhanced outcomes for student learning
    and success.
