________________________________
The Las Positas College Math and Language Equity and Achievement Subcommittee to SEA, the Student Equity and Achievement Committee, is committed to providing students with the foundation they need to achieve their goals. For many of our students, this means strengthening basic skills in reading, writing, and mathematics. Data show that this strengthening of skills should be done in transfer-level coursework with lateral instead of pre-requisite support. While Assembly Bill 705 mandated that we maximize the potential that students complete transfer math and English in one year, Assembly Bill 1705 has strengthened that mandate, disallowing pre-requisite coursework under almost all circumstances, excepting ESL and DSPS support courses. Mathematics programs must now study the impact of reducing transfer-level math coursework and support the placement of students into the correct mathematics course for their major. The goal of both laws are to increase transfer rates for all students, but they are particularly focused on those students who have been disproportionately impacted by systems, whether in the classroom, discipline, placement, or student services realms, that erect barriers to their learning and their ultimate success. For students in ESL courses, AB705 wants to see ESL students with a transfer goal complete transfer-level English in three years.
