This document summarizes a meeting about redesigning developmental education programs in Colorado community colleges. It discusses initiatives from other states and colleges as models. It notes that 35 people from 16 colleges attended, primarily faculty from English, reading and math. The group was tasked with clarifying the purpose of developmental education, reviewing policies, and recommending strategies. Examples of redesigned programs from other schools are provided. The goals of redesigning Colorado's programs are to accelerate students through reducing time, credits and courses in developmental sequences. Implementation plans and resources needed are discussed.
