ABE Summer Institute 2024

In late 2022, Minnesota State announced plans to redesign dev ed courses to a college-level co-requisite format, eliminating all stand-alone, sequential, prerequisite dev ed courses by 2027. Minnesota State has a three year plan underway which includes bringing together college faculty and administrators in discipline work groups during Phase 1, which is presently underway.
The session will share what those working on Dev Ed/ABE partnerships at the state level have learned about the phases and timelines for the plan, as well as conversations with MN State leaders to address this question: How can ABE be a partner in the co-req planning efforts to increase the likelihood of student success when co-req courses are launched?
They will also share what they have learned from ABE educators who have remained in their pre-existing dev ed partnership with their partner campus while moving forward with co-req courses. They will share issues, challenges, and opportunities that have surfaced, and share resources for how educators can promote ABE’s value-added benefit for academic support to help those students most in need succeed in a co-req course. Time will be left for participant Q&A and discussion.
