Definition
Supplemental instruction provided to students who have not yet met grade-level or college-level standards in core academic areas such as reading, writing, or mathematics. In higher education, remedial (or developmental) courses do not count toward degree completion but prepare students for college-level work. In K-12, remediation may take the form of tutoring, pull-out instruction, or summer school.
