This report examines three states—California, North Carolina, and Wisconsin—that have adopted, or are in the process of adopting, multiple measures reform with the ultimate goal of increasing college completion rates. Understanding different approaches to multiple measures policy development and implementation can support successful reforms in other sites and contexts. For this reason, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation asked Research for Action (RFA) to: Reveal lessons learned by states and systems in reforming placement policies through multiple measures; and provide context for understanding how these reforms are implemented at the campus level, which will be explored in Phase 2 of this project.
