This is why we need more alternative math courses like #datascience and #statistics! @EdInsightsCtr report finds students who previously struggled in #math became "more confident" and changed their attitudes about math through nontraditional courses 👇 edinsightscenter.org/a-powerful-way…

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

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)

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 @Portantino @SenatorPatBates 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

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…

I passed AB Calculus in high school but was placed in algebra @MyCraftonHills. Last year, I graduated from @ucsantabarbara with a BS in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. I support #AB1705 because students don’t have time to repeat high school classes @rosilicie

disq.us/t/48bsn34 "In 2019, just 18% of Cuyamaca students who took one remedial math course completed a transferable course in a year, compared to 73% of students who began in a transferable course." This is why we need #AB1705 @SenatorLeyva @rosilicie

“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!

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

I’m a union member and support my union, but in opposing #AB1705, @FACCC and @CFTunion don’t speak for me. I’m here for students and I support AB1705. @CalCommColleges #EdEquity

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

#RepresentationMatters but @kyndallab 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
