Book excerpt: The Math Remediation Task Force is comprised of faculty from two-year, four-year comprehensive, and four-year flagship higher education institutions throughout the state of New Mexico. Its members have varying levels of experience with designing/implementing multiple math remediation programs including traditional, co-requisite and acceleration models. Each member has been an advocate for her/his students both at the institution-level, as well as at the Math Remediation Task Force-levels. The Task Force has suggested throughout this report that, instead of doing one sweeping reform, institutions consider implementing reform in stages. The body of research could benefit significantly from a better understanding of which reform practices are the most effective, how they work best and who they work best for. By reforming intake processes first, such as placement and advising, colleges will have a better idea of what part(s) of their curriculum will need to be reformed. What is suggested is an integrative approach instead of just shortening pathways since each college is different. It is also important to remember that there is no one-size-fits-all solution to developmental education. Making sure that students have options and that faculty and colleges have the time and resources to make changes is vital to ensure that all students have the opportunity to be successful. By ensuring that students are properly placed, offering developmental pathways appropriate to each gateway course, reducing exit points by shortening pathways wherever possible, and keeping longer/self-paced options available for those who need it, you can save students time without marginalizing anyone. An appendix lists the members of the Indianapolis team and their affiliations.
