IDEAA is a two-year cohort that will provide community colleges and universities across the state with technical assistance and expert guidance to reform their developmental education programs by implementing a co-requisite model. Following the completion of the first cohort’s tenure in December 2025, a new group of institutions has been selected for support, beginning in January 2026.
