Right Now, A First-year Student Sits In A College Classroom Being Ill-served By Developmental Math.
Engage
We work to engage the postsecondary systems and metropolitan regions already in place, as a network of like-minded individuals. This is a commitment to actionable, evidence-based policies and practices. We can shift the outcome of college journeys to support all students – not just the select few.
Deepen
We continue to deepen our commitment to knowledge-sharing. When policies and practices work in action, we share our research and learnings. With our collective knowledge, we can remove barriers to success for low-income students, students of color and returning adults.
Grow
As our network grows, so do opportunities for innovation and support. Together organizations, faculty and staff can collaborate to implement new policies and practices at scale.
Join the movement to create fundamental and lasting policy change together.

A quality community is one where faculty and staff grow professionally, where administrators advance their understanding while honing their ability to respond to identified needs, where support personnel feel honored for the value they provide and where students’ experiences propel them forward as they learn and develop new habits of thought.
