Another thread from a community college prof supporting #AB1705, the follow up bill for #AB705. Let’s break down the main datapoint cited by opponents @ASM_Irwin @AsmJoseMedina @AsmStevenChoi68 @ChrisHoldenNews @FrankBigelowCA (1/10)
Opponents point out that success rates in transfer-level courses declined after #AB705. When you look at students *who were allowed to enroll directly in a transfer-level course* you see that the % of students passing has dipped statewide. This is true. But also misleading (2/10)
In isolation, this datapoint implies that students are being harmed by #AB705 and that remedial courses are still needed. In reality, every demographic group examined to date has higher completion when they begin in a transfer-level course, not a remedial one (3/10)
