California community college math teacher. I believe in students' abilities and the power of education.

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 👇

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

[King Roy @dcastronoguez]

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!

[Katie Hern @KatieHernCA]

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)

[King Roy @dcastronoguez]

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 https://t.co/2fGwclvF5E

#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. https://t.co/hMSdbsd4P5

[Hal Huntsman @HalHuntsman]

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 @Portantino @SenatorPatBates ➡️ https://t.co/Deu8CpJDHo

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 @SenatorLeyva @rosilicie

[Eric Martinsen @EricMartinsen]

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 https://t.co/or9B117spV

I was place in intermediate Algebra at CCSF but fought for my right to be in transfer-level Math. Two years later I graduated w/ my B.A Sociology + 2 new besties 👯‍♀️❤️. #YesAB1705 #AB705 #EquitablePlacement #StudentsVoices #CalgrantReform #AB1746

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

"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

[Michael Schouten @schouten4you]

“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!

[Just Equations @JUST_Equations]

What if colleges proactively supported students who may be struggling, rather than waiting for them to ask for help? https://t.co/RYrvjwL9dY @EdSurge #highered #edequity

[Hal Huntsman @HalHuntsman]

New @AccelerationCA Report: #CACommunityColleges AB 705 plans show notable progress but suggest uneven and inequitable implementation. This is why we need #AB1705 @SenatorLeyva @rosilicie https://t.co/VhmnyFbz7x

[Hal Huntsman @HalHuntsman]

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

@iLearnNow @iLearnNow wish I could be there! (But I teach at that time.) I know I'd learn a lot from you, because I've learned much from you. You are going to be awesome.

[Hal Huntsman @HalHuntsman]

This speaks to the importance of flexibility where there has too often been the opposite. Math departments ignore this trend at their own peril.

#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
