    Corequisite models are a proven alternative to traditional developmental mathematics. Institutions are finding a myriad of ways of implementing these models.

    What's your corequisite journey?

    What was the greatest challenge to implementation and what did you do to overcome the challenge?

    One of the challenges to implementing a corequisite model is that teachers must work together...at least the way we do it.  We have corequisite students in every section of our math class, Math 1030 Contemporary Mathematics; then these students are in one the two co-requisite, Math 0930, classes we offer, taught by a developmental math teacher.  There are three teachers teaching Math 1030.  So, that is 4 teachers working together, staying on the same schedule, and communicating often about tests, homework, activities, students, etc.  I am happy with how our teachers work together, and that will definitely impact the success of the course.

    It's great to hear of all the success happening. Every successful attempt at corequisites helps everyone else find their own path to doing them.

    My school has been implementing a corequisite model now for two years.  But I personally have not taught one of those courses, yet.  Each semester we have made some small changes but overall we have had success.
