New English, Math and ESL Pathways
By Cindy Anfinson, Melinda Carrillo, Leanne Maunu, and Shauna Moriarty
The AB 705 workgroup has been meeting twice monthly to implement AB 705 by Fall ’19. Both English and Math classes have been mapped (see maps below) to streamline the pathway as required by AB705. English 50 and 50A will no longer be offered starting Fall ‘19. Students will be placed into English 100 or English 100+ (which is English 100 and English 49, the co-requisite course).
All mathematics courses numbered 53 and below will no longer be offered starting Fall ‘19. Students will be able to take Math 56 & Math 6, Math 56, or Math 60 for intermediate algebra. Unless a student has never had intermediate algebra, they will not be placed into these courses. Students may be placed into Math 120 & Math 20 (Statistics co-requisite support) or Math 120. Students may also be placed into Math 110 & Math 11 (College Algebra co-requisite support) or Math 110. The Math Department will also offer a Math 100 with support (Math 1), and a Math 130 with support (Math 13).
ESL has created courses and streamlined its pathway to meet the AB705 mandate of ESL students successfully completing English 100 within 3 years. The AB705 workgroup is working on issues including messaging to current students, programming the new placement rules, and figuring out how to actually link co-requisite courses, among other issues.
