Office of the President 1700 Van Hise Hall 1220 Linden Drive Madison, Wisconsin 53706-1559 (608) 262-2321 Phone (608) 262-3985 Fax e-mail: [email protected] website: www.wisconsin.edu/ DATE: September 20, 2016 TO: Senator Shelia Harsdorf Senate Chair, Committee on Universities and Technical Colleges Representative David Murphy Assembly Chair, Committee on Colleges and Universities State Superintendent Tony Evers Department of Public Instruction FROM: Ray Cross RE: Legislated Remedial Course Report (2015 WI ACT 28) In accordance with Chapter 36.65 of the Wisconsin State Statues, accompanying this letter is the 2015 UW System Legislated Remedial Course Report. The referenced statute requires the UW System to “determine the high schools with more than 6 students who, based on their performance on placement tests in the preceding 12 months, are required to take remedial courses in English or mathematics” and to submit a report to the legislature and state superintendent. Please find the attached. For two decades, the UW System has provided feedback to Wisconsin high schools on graduates who entered UW System intuitions. In collaboration with ACT, Inc, the UW System and the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction provide the ACT High-School-to-College Success Reports to high schools every three years. Among a variety of measures, the ACT High-School-to-College Success Reports contain preparation information including the need for remedial math and English and outcome information including persistence to the second year of college. Information provided to Wisconsin high schools on the readiness and progress of their graduates at the post-secondary level is intended to help administrators evaluate and strengthen their efforts in preparing students for success. This type of feedback to the Wisconsin education partners helps to foster communications, align the curriculum, and reduce the need for remedial education. We are pleased to be engaged with our secondary education partners in these efforts. Please contact me if you have any questions.
