  1. AB 705 Moving Forward John Stanskas, President, Academic Senate for the California Community Colleges Rob Rundquist, Senior Executive, Guided Pathways (CCCCO)

  2. AB 705: Mindset Shifts Belief in student capacity: an investment in the students’ preparation, life experience, and skills to learn Throughput rather than course success: the number of students who finish the gateway transfer course

  3. AB 705: POST SCRIPTS • PATHWAYS • SEQUENCES • PLACEMENT • SUPPORT

  4. The Goal of Implementation • Maximize access to transfer-level course work • Increase student throughput: success and completion • Erase barriers to equitable outcomes

  5. Scaffolded Implementation support • AB705 Website • AB705 Guidance • AB705 FAQs • AB705 Regulations • Fall MMAP Webinar Series and Survey • PPIC “Early Evidence” Report • ASCCC “Guided Self-Placement” document

  6. Assembly Bill 705 Purpose of the Bill: • Increase the numbers of students who enter and complete transfer-level English and mathematics/quantitative reasoning in one year • Minimize the disproportionate impact on students created through inaccurate placement processes • Increase the number of ESL students completing transfer-level English within three years

  7. Implementation Framework • Assessment for Placement • Curricular Design • Co-Curricular Support • Noncurricular Support

  8. Assessment and Placement The law prohibits colleges from placing students into pre-transfer courses in English or mathematics/quantitative reasoning UNLESS: • Students are highly unlikely to succeed in the transfer-level course • Enrollment in the pre-transfer course will improve students’ likelihood of success in completing the transfer-level course AND

  9. Assessment and placement • Colleges can use the “default placement rules” based on the MMAP research and analysis of statewide data (no separate validation process required) • Colleges can develop their own placement schema (as long as it complies with AB 705) but need to then examine their own data for validation • Colleges have a 2 year window to gather evidence about their local design and placement efforts and will be required to report rationale and data

  10. ASSESSMENT AND PLACEMENT Students should not be placed or directed in any way such that their completion of the transfer-level gateway course would be less likely than it would have been with direct placement in the course.

  11. Placement tests Moving forward with AB 705, no placement test has been approved by the Board of Governors.

  12. Curricular design • Innovation encouraged for curriculum design including curricular sequence design and “concurrent” support • Concurrent additions to courses: reasonable unit/hour limits • Pathways in Mathematics/quantitative reasoning • Serving the local community

  13. SUPPORT IN AN AB 705 World “Access without support is not opportunity.” -Vincent Tinto

  14. Co-Curricular support STRUCTURES • Co-Requisite Models • Learning center support outside of the classroom (Tutoring, SI) • Learning support within the classroom • Integration of student services and instruction to support students • Other innovations

  15. Non-curricular support • Integration of student services and instruction to support students • Designing support efforts at scale • Guided pathways elements related to AB 705 • Student engagement and community building

  16. Main Take-aways • Intent and structure of the law will require a shift in placement reform, curricular design, support structures, and institutional mindset to accomplish • Colleges are encouraged to innovate within the framework provided • Institutional integration and the Guided Pathways framework should be central to design • Robust evaluation at the local and systemic level must drive decision-making

  17. Implementation considerations • Scheduling considerations for more transfer-level English and mathematics/quantitative reasoning • Curriculum deadlines and processes – access to CSU/UC review processes • Support for faculty • Resources for implementation

  18. Next steps • Revision of CB-21 • title 5 regulations updated to reflect AB 705 • Data collection, evaluation, and monitoring • Professional learning • This is (still) the beginning….
