Colorado's Community College System's Trade Adjustment Assistance Community College Career Training (TAACCCT) grant facilitated and supported the state's redesign of developmental education (DE) to increase rates of student retention and completion across fifteen community colleges. This chapter presents observations about the process of transforming Colorado's DE policy and practice, challenges faced, insights about institutional change, and the role the TAACCCT grant played.
