Abstract
The Developmental Mathematics Program (DMP) at Texas State University-San Marcos in central Texas has undergone systemic, significant changes over the past ten years. These changes primarily resulted from the alignment to the American Mathematical Association of Two-Year Colleges' (AMATYC) Crossroads in Mathematics: Standards for Introductory College Mathematics Before Calculus (Cohen, 1995) and Beyond Crossroads: Implementing Mathematics Standards in the First Two Years of College (Blair, 2006), incorporation of existing research regarding developmental education in general and developmental mathematics in particular, and infusion of best practices. This article details the impetus for change and provides a description of the current program as well as an explanation of future goals for the DMP.
