Common Threads for Successfrom Special Basic Skills Programs

• Shift traditional delivery model to more learner-centered model (Barr Learning College vs. Teaching College)

• Utilize cohorts/peer group investment

• Focus on developing study skills early in pre-collegiate course sequences

• Additional student time on task is required; this is an issue for recruiting

• Student confidence in their own abilities is increased
