Developmental Education Redesign: The ICCB, in partnership with the Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE) and the Illinois Board of Higher Education (IBHE) will revise developmental/remedial education in Illinois to advance college readiness. The ICCB will also work with the Illinois Student Assistance Commission (ISAC) to match unit record data for additional socioeconomic information as needed and will also work with the Illinois Department of Employment Security (IDES) to make use of predictive analytics to determine employment goals for each community college district.

“The Illinois Community College Board (ICCB) is making a commitment to increasing the number of co-requisite remedial programs, which will reduce the time-to-degree and the completion rates of students entering postsecondary who are not college ready. Currently, 12 Illinois community colleges offer co-requisite remedial programs, and the ICCB will commit to doubling the number of co-requisite remedial programs in the system.”
