AB 705 Implementation Overview: Improving College Placement & Completion

Learn about AB 705, signed in January 2018, requiring colleges to use high school data to enhance Math and English placement accuracy for increased completion rates. Gavilan College is responding with curriculum redesign, academic support, and co-requisite classes.

  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
