Changes on the Ground

Researchers at the CPS have been conducting a longitudinal study of how Florida College System (FCS) institutions have implemented developmental education reform (SB 1720) on their campuses. As a part of this research report, CPS researchers conducted site visits to nine FCS institutions from November 2016 to April 2017. In this statewide report, we consider administrative, faculty, advisor, support staff, and student perspectives on broad trends which have taken place across the FCS since SB 1720 was enacted. We begin this report by presenting perceptions of the legislation we encountered across the state of Florida in 2016-2017 by stakeholders at nine institutions.
