  1. Overview of AB 705 Implementation Denée Pescarmona dpescarmona@gavilan.edu

  2. What is AB 705? • Assembly Bill 705 (Irwin) signed into effect January 2018 • Requires colleges to use high school transcript data to maximize accuracy of placement to increase completion of transfer-level courses in Math and English • Students who have an academic goal of transfer or degree must be able to complete transfer-level English and Math within one-year (ESL=3 years) • AB 705 basically calls on colleges to eliminate developmental course sequences which hinder completion of transfer Math and English

  3. Transfer-Level Course Completion in One Year from First Class in Discipline (error bars represent ±1 se)

  4. No one is saying that these success rates are acceptable • However, AB705 requires that we only place students into developmental education if: • students are highly unlikely to succeed at transfer-level • it maximizes their likelihood of completion of the transfer-level course • Neither of these conditions appear to be met even for the lowest performing HS students • That limits us to providing concurrent or corequisite support

  5. Placement/Support Recommendations: English For students with high school transcripts within 10 years of enrollment at CC, excluding students locally determined to be ESL

  6. Placement/Support Recommendations: Statistics For students with high school transcripts within 10 years of enrollment at CC, completion of HS Algebra*

  7. Placement/Support Recommendations: BSTEM Math For students with high school transcripts within 10 years of enrollment at CC and who completed Algebra 2/Intermediate Algebra/Integrative Math 3 or higher in high school*

  8. How is Gavilan responding? • Curriculum redesign: elimination of lowest level Math and English courses from credit (some may move to noncredit) • Use of academic student support in transfer-level Math and English courses (embedded tutoring, supplemental instruction) • Creation of “co-requisite” academic support classes for students struggling in transfer-level coursework
