President Ahrash N. Bissell highlights various community milestones: one million students (and counting) have benefitted from using EdReady; we've earned SOC 2 Type II (security) and WCAG 2.1 AA conformance (accessibility) certifications; and we've partnered with UPchieve, an organization that is democratizing student access to academic support.
Dr. Rosslyn R. Knight recently published Maricopa Community College District data that demonstrate that EdReady has significantly increased the number of students of color who were able to place into college-level math and English courses.
Join us as we examine strategies for increasing success among nontraditional students of color in online (and hybrid) learning environments. Based on the lived experiences of students who successfully completed developmental and college-level courses, the Maricopa Community College model for ensuring college readiness illustrates the importance of collaboration among administrators, faculty, and staff to create success for all students.
At Ivy Tech, where greater than 45,000 students used EdReady over a 4-month period, almost 50% of students are now prepared for college-level coursework.

Get your creative juices flowing with a fast-paced tour of both emerging and established models for summer programming that will help students prepare for a successful start to the 2021-22 academic year. We explore community-based, STEM-focused programming, secondary and postsecondary partnerships, supporting Dakota Promise scholars, and an FYE (first-year experience) initiative.
‘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.
With accountability measures now extending beyond high-stakes assessments, many schools are uncovering new ways of identifying gaps and accelerating gains, as they work to equitably level the playing field for all learners. Hear how leaders from resilient schools are addressing 'learning loss'.
