The approach requires systemic changes in the learning environment that facilitate both higher educational outcomes and concurrent development of lifelong learning skills among all students. This new model stands in contrast with the traditional developmental education approach that identifies individual students within a class based on predictive measures and prescribes specific activities for them alone. This chapter’s narrative identifies practices used by the authors successfully with their college students in introductory courses in American history and world history.encollege studentslearning assistancestudent achievementstudent engagementlearning technologieshigher and postsecondary educationcollege student developmentdevelopmental educationhistorycurriculumBook chapter
