English
Redesign
Make first-year English a stepping stone, not a stumbling block. Our tailored approach to composition and reading eliminates unnecessary remediation, streamlines learning, and accelerates degree progress for all students.
The Hidden Cost of Fragmented English Instruction and Pathways
Persistent achievement gaps in English stem from a one-size-fits-all composition sequence and insufficient adaptation to the varied language, reading, and writing needs of modern student cohorts. The result: slow progress, repeated enrollments, and missed degree milestones.
- Students avoiding English 101/Composition I or failing repeatedly due to misaligned supports or unengaging content
- Over-reliance on stand-alone developmental or reading courses, trapping learners instead of progressing them to degree credit
- High rates of unsuccessful course completion (DFW) leading to extended time-to-degree and lost financial aid
- Faculty and staff frustration stemming from split departments, conflicting philosophies, or limited collaboration between reading and writing focused faculty
We Design and Implement English Courses and Supports That Help All Students Achieve Their College Goals
We overhaul English pathways, course design, and supports to move every student, regardless of starting point, through credit-bearing English with purpose. Our process integrates advising, reading, and writing supports, plus stakeholder collaboration for real, scalable impact.
- English 101/Composition I: Unblocking the gateway for all programs, not just more English coursework.
- Technical Writing/Applied English: Career-focused communication for AAS and technical programs.
- ALP or Corequisite English: Embedded supports that accelerate student progress through college-level work using the ALP or another model your English faculty support.
- Integrated Reading/Writing Courses: Streamlined support for students with high reading needs without standalone remediation.
- Contextualized English for Diverse Majors: Custom writing outcomes matched to program or transfer needs.
