Montgomery College's Plan for Addressing the Achievement Gap

Recommendations: Benchmarks and Outcomes
 Allocate resources for data analysis and coordination of Latino and African/African‐
American student matriculation.
 Target intervention with Developmental Non‐Completers utilizing Non‐cognitive Predictors
of Student Success
 Construct courses that allow students who have successfully completed RD 099/103 and
are currently enrolled in EN002/EL103 to take credit level courses in a learning community
type setting (i.e. a PY102/AN101/SO101 that are blended with the EN002/EL104 course
concurrently)
 Analyze student success rates separately for African‐American and non‐native African‐
American students.
 Similarly, analyze success rates of US‐educated Latino students separately from those of
Latino students educated abroad.
 Study the ACCUPLACER test‐retest reliability for students placing into EN002 and RD099.

    1. This is analogous to rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic.
