CAHS' Policy forum: Developmental Education Reform in Connecticut

March 21st, 11 am to 1 pm - Room 310, State Capitol, Hartford

Please join us this March 21st at the State Capitol at 11 am for our policy forum on remedial education in Connecticut:

Developmental Education Reform: Ensuring Success for All in Connecticut

Connecticut passed an ambitious reform on our remedial education system two years ago. After two years of planning and one year of pilots, community colleges are gearing up to implement the law in full.
The roll out of this legislation, PA 12-40, has proved controversial, with some voices arguing that it limits access to higher education. To analyze and evaluate the state and community college plans on this important reforms, CAHS has produced an extensive report on the law and potential issues regarding its implementation.

Join us March 21 at 11 am at the State Capitol to discuss the report's findings, hear the latest developments and results from the initial pilots and learn about best practices on remedial education.

Featured speakers:

- Senator Beth Bye, Chair of the Appropriations Committee, Vice-Chair of Higher Education Committee.
- David Levinson, Vice President for Community Colleges, Board of Regents.
- Susan Bickerstaff, Postdoctoral Research Associate, CCRC- Columbia.
- Roger Senserrich, Policy Coordinator, CAHS.

You can register for the event on our Facebook page or RSVP via e-mail to rsenserrich@cahs.org. Connecticut's future depends on having a trained, skilled workforce. We need to make sure we get this reform right.

See you all at the Capitol,
