Those of you in the Carnegie Network already have this news from Statway™ Director Karon Klipple, but it deserves to be shared further because it reinforces that we are indeed on the right track.
She reported that 88% of students who passed the first term of Statway™ with a C or better have enrolled in the second term and will earn college credit with its successful completion. This is considerably more than the 25% of students (with C or better) who enrolled in a second term of math studies for college credit in our NIC colleges prior to Statway’s™ launch.
If our pass rate remains the same for the second term, and 68% of those students pass the second term, then we will have achieved a success rate of 42%. Currently, among the 19 Statway™ colleges, only 12% of students who are placed into developmental mathematics complete a college-level math course in two years. Stay tuned for final results on the first year when they are available this summer.

The recent American Association of Community Colleges 21st-Century Commission recommends having a goal to increase completion rates by 50 percent by 2020. Carnegie's work on developmental mathematics suggests we can achieve even more.
