 WORKING TOWARD AB 705 IMPLEMENTATION
|
As the AEBG crosswalk committees finish up their work, they are watching closely the developments of
AB 705
, which took effect in January and aims to get more California students to completion. The bill
requires colleges to consider students' high school coursework and/or high school grades and/or high school grade-point average in placing students into college-level English and math courses. Also, colleges have to work to ensure students complete transfer-level coursework in those subjects within one year.
Here is California Community Colleges' timeline for implementing credit-bearing courses for English as a second language, in compliance with AB 705. Also, the report "Multiple Paths Forward: Diversifying Mathematics as a Strategy for College Success" lays out how diversified math pathways can help meet the requirements of the bill. Here is the executive summary.
