  1. Teaming Up for Student Success: Implementing AB 705 VC English and Math Faculty August 16, 2019

  2. Olga Rodriguez, Marisol Cuellar Mejia, & Hans Johnson, “Remedial Education Reforms at California’s Community Colleges: Early Evidence on Placement and Curricular Reforms,” August 2018. • “Arguably, students who have successfully completed an introductory transfer-level course in English or math have cleared one of the largest obstacles faced along the pathway toward completion or transfer.”

  3. White: 2.2 times more likely (transfer level) (1 level below) (2 levels below) If placed in V01A, 85% completeV01A within three years.1 If placed in V02, 47% completeV01A within three years.1 If placed in V03, 36% completeV01A within three years.1 1 For Fall 2012 cohorts tracked through spring 2015.

  4. No Disproportionate Impactin English placement for the first time inFall 2017: Faculty phased in greater accessusing HS GPA instead of standardized tests

  5. Equity gap disappears as direct access to English 1A increases. More Equitable GAP

  6. What is Assembly Bill 705? It’s a law that requires California community colleges to • maximize the probability that a student will • enter and complete transfer-level coursework in English and math • within a one year timeframe. English/Math Implementation: Fall 2019 * ESL Implementation: Fall 2020

  7. VC English: Fall 2019 For English placement, no test is administered. Placement into Transfer for All Students* Built-In Academic Support for All Students: • 4-unit course combining lecture/lab • 5.5 total contact hours each week • 3.5 classroom hours + 2 computer lab hours = English V01A English Composition 4 units 5.5 hours per week Strongly recommended for students with HS GPA < • Choose a fully face-to-face section of English 1A • Enroll in a student success course of your choice *Students who completed four years at a U.S. high school

  8. Integrated Writing Tutors in the BEACH

  9. ESL and English for Multilingual Students: Fall 2019 Appropriate for • International students who are English language learners (ELL) • Resident ELL and multilingual students English V01A English Composition 4 units (5.5 contact hours) Placement to Better Identify Potential ENGM and ESL students in development. Eng-M V02 Preparation for English Composition 5 units New in Fall 2019 Eng-M V03 Advanced Academic Reading & Writing 5 units

  10. Enter the Pathway: Math Pathways • Arts & Humanities • MATH V40 Math Topics for College Students • Social Sciences and Health Sciences • MATH V44 Elementary Statistics • Business and STEM (B-STEM) • MATH V04 College Algebra • Teaching/Liberal Arts • MATH V38 Mathematics for Elementary School Teachers

  11. Math Pathway: Arts & Humanities For mathematics placement, no test is administered. 3 hours per week Placement into Transfer for All Students: Math V40 satisfies mathematical concepts and quantitative reasoning requirement for CSU and UC transfer (IGETC) Recommended: HS GPA Math V40 Math Topics for College Students 3 units = + Math V40J Just-In-Time Support 1 units Math V40 Math Topics for College Students 3 units 4 hours per week Recommended: HS GPA 2.3 to Required: HS GPA

  14. Shrinking GAP GAP Shrinking equity gaps 2 Hispanic Students for every 4 White Students 3 Hispanic Students for every 4 White Students

  15. AB 705: Equity Impact • All Boats Rise: When colleges broaden access to transfer-level courses through placement changes and corequisite models, all racial/ethnic groups have much higher completion rates. • Equity gaps can also shrink between groups (but they don’t always) • Gaps will remain that require our ongoing attention.

  16. Equity Plan Update • Initially planned for January, a “final” set of data was released by the CCCCO on April 5. • Since then, there have been data corrections made on April 10, April 18, and May 3. • The interim president convened a multi-disciplinary task force to draft an equity plan. • The task force met four times on March 27, April 17, April 24 and May 16. • A final draft of the equity plan was sent to the Senate Presidents and ASVC on May 6, 2019. • Unfortunately, due to the tight timeline, there was insufficient time to fully engage the faculty and staff in developing relevant activities and strategies to close equity gaps. • VC submitted, pending signatures, to the CCCCO on June 20, 2019. • VC asked for an extension from the state until September 30, 2019 so that the senates could review and potentially sign before it goes to the Board of Trustees on September 10th.
