#RepresentationMatters but Kyndall Brown makes the point that while it's critically important to have teachers of color, what we need to make sure is that teachers are able to connect with the students that they're teaching & reach them. #MathOpportunity2022

"...We are really making an impact w/these students... giving them...the ability to own their learning in #mathematics & that's what I believe gets them through that math anxiety." Victoria Dominguez of Citrus College on why corequisite support so critical #MathOpportunity2022

This speaks to the importance of flexibility where there has too often been the opposite. Math departments ignore this trend at their own peril. Designing Effective Math Learning—With or Without the Math Department justequations.org/news/march-202… via Just Equations

I’m a union member and support my union, but in opposing #AB1705, FACCC and CFT don’t speak for me. I’m here for students and I support AB1705. California Community Colleges #EdEquity

What if colleges proactively supported students who may be struggling, rather than waiting for them to ask for help? edsurge.com/news/2022-06-0… EdSurge #highered #edequity

New Acceleration Project Report: #CACommunityColleges AB 705 plans show notable progress but suggest uneven and inequitable implementation. This is why we need #AB1705 Connie Leyva @rosilicie bit.ly/AB705Improveme…

“The bad news is that 41% of colleges plan to continue remedial enrollments in violation of regulatory guidance from the state’s Chancellor’s office, according to our analysis. As a result, implementation continues to be uneven and inequitable.” I support #AB1705! It’s time!

One of the pillars of equity: "Momentum means removing noncredit bearing courses (like remedial math or English), providing coreq education options, and acknowledging skills a student might already bring to the table from outside of academia." #AB1705 diverseeducation.com/leadership-pol…

Let’s move #AB1705 forward in the Senate! It’s time to change remedial placement policies that delay California community college students from achieving their goals Connie Leyva @rosilicie

Linda Hintzman, Pasadena City College math professor, shows her support of #AB1705 and calls on colleges to follow the data and stop offering remedial classes that hinder students’ progress. More in EdSource Anthony Portantino Senator Pat Bates ➡️ bit.ly/3nG0bBV

#AB705 has removed remedial course barriers for thousands of Black and Latinx students who are now well on their way to earning a degree. #AB1705 is CA's next step to eliminate equity gaps in transfer-level course access & completion. buff.ly/3uJkzpJ

Featured in EdSource: Linda Hintzman, math professor, shows how eliminating remedial classes at Pasadena City College benefited students who intend to transfer to a university and those who do not. This is why we need #AB1705 Anthony Portantino Senator Pat Bates bit.ly/3nG0bBV

CA is “Nearly There” in the shift away from ineffective remedial courses, but ongoing implementation inequities mean we aren’t done yet. CA needs #AB1705 to achieve truly equitable placement for all. (14/14)

We are one step closer to reforming remedial placement policies that delay California community college students from achieving their goals. We urge Governor Gavin Newsom Gavin Newsom to sign #AB1705 into law!

Student leaders call for Governor Newsom to sign #AB1705 to stop remedial courses from derailing their dreams
