In 2013, Montana Digital Academy, which is physically situated on the University of Montana campus, began piloting EdReady to help students avoid remedial math. Since then, EdReady Montana has expanded to meet the individual math and English readiness needs of nearly 180,000 Montanans across approximately 600 institutions. The program was recently awarded a $3.5 million dollar grant to sustain programming and broaden reach.

In this webinar, we examine how to break down barriers to post-graduation success that disproportionately affect low-income and minority students. Join us to explore the ways in which early college and Pathways in Technology Early College High School (P-TECH) have democratized student access to higher education and higher-paying careers for students.

Texas College Bridge was launched as a response to a growing college-readiness problem further aggravated by COVID-19. Partners discuss the evolution of this growing college-readiness effort and consider how secondary and postsecondary education leaders can use this work as a model for impactful programming, tailored to local populations and needs.

‘Remediation’ requires acceptance of a very particular model of knowledge-acquisition and mastery, coupled with a set of policy assumptions around the pace at which that model plays out among our student populations. Despite the fact that these assumptions have been well disproven, logistical challenges seemed to limit options for improvement. However, things have changed, and we are seeing positive impacts from capable technologies, supportive policies, and a renewed emphasis on equity.
