The End of Remediation in California's Community Colleges: Policy Implementation, Student Outcomes, and Faculty Experiences
Fri, April 22, 11:30am to 1:00pm PDT (11:30am to 1:00pm PDT), Marriott Marquis San Diego Marina, Floor: South Building, Level 4, La CostaSession Type: Symposium
Abstract
In this session, we offer a window into the complex realities of a state-level policy (AB705) aimed at ending developmental education in community colleges by placing students directly in college-level courses with support. It features four papers, each focusing on one level of analysis: state-level curricular changes; district-level exploration of practitioner beliefs about the policy and developmental education; college-level faculty and leadership experiences with implementation; and classroom-level student experiences in online college-level math courses. The session offers a multidimensional view of a single policy’s implementation that is relevant not only for those who study and work in the California Community Colleges but for those in other states and higher education systems that too are contending with reforming developmental education.
