  16. Common Threads for Successfrom Special Basic Skills Programs • Shift traditional delivery model to more learner-centered model (Barr Learning College vs. Teaching College) • Utilize cohorts/peer group investment • Focus on developing study skills early in pre-collegiate course sequences • Additional student time on task is required; this is an issue for recruiting • Student confidence in their own abilities is increased
