Community colleges will require students to begin addressing basic skill needs in their first year and will provide resources and options for them to attain the competencies needed to succeed in college-level work as part of their educational plan.

Description

Colleges need to offer students an array of courses, laboratories, and other approaches to skill improvement. These might include courses with embedded contextualized basic skills instruction, special interventions like Math Jam, online and other computer-based laboratory resources, tutoring, supplemental instruction, and intensive basic skills courses.
