"A recent @capr_deved analysis finds placing students directly into college-level courses, rather than a more precise placement system, is key to learners’ success," reports @amowreader @insidehighered.

Even for students with the lowest standardized test scores, the chances of completing a gateway math course within the first year rose by 15 pp under the corequisite approach, writes @florence_ran for the Mathematical Association of America. https://t.co/QJTjQPdYYG

College Course Placement Based on Multiple Measures Assessment: A Synthesis of Two Experimental Evaluations, by Sophie Litschwartz, Dan Cullinan, & Colin Hill https://t.co/i8RjHKK9c3

[CAPR @capr_deved]

Referring more students directly to college-level courses is more important than trying to better predict success in college-level courses, a new synthesis of two RCTs of multiple measures assessment suggests. https://t.co/hNVZtO3rjF @MDRC_News

California math educators this fall have been locked in a vigorous debate: Will the implementation of a new law help more community college STEM students by skipping prerequisites and placing them directly into calculus? https://t.co/rn2MSQaDNn @EdSource

During the 2022-23 academic year, when YVC’s new math sequence was implemented, the percentage of students enrolled in college-level courses more than doubled compared to the previous four academic years. https://t.co/4U1cix481p @YakimaCollege @Comm_College

California’s AB 1705 has sparked controversy. Some math educators fear more students will fail calculus. Defenders say the law prevents students getting derailed by prior courses. https://t.co/RsuPkynyP3 @EdSource

[CAPR @capr_deved]

After nearly two decades of growth, the percentage of community college students enrolled in remedial coursework dropped from 23% in 2015–16 to 16% in 2019–20. Read an analysis from @NewAmericaEd on the CAPR blog. https://t.co/3UM1f74EYa @EdNCES
