Questions

  • grade inflation pressure (to raise pass rates)?
  • pressure to lower rigor (to raise pass rates)?
  • will adjuncts suffer brunt of lower pass rates?
  • effects on other departments?

AB705:

Some instructors are also excited to see how acceleration may help academically-fatigued students complete their degree work at Hartnell in a more realistic timeframe

Placement Procedure

  • At the 8/31/18 department meeting, we set the following placement procedures* to meet AB 705 guidelines:
  • requires colleges to use high school transcript data, and it sets a standard for how community colleges use high school transcript data, in the placement of students into math and English courses,
  • allows more students to enroll directly into college-level courses in which they can be successful.

Work to be done:

The English Department's Response to AB705

We know our students will need help.

* 4 unit ENG 1A debuts in Fall 2019

* Cohorts with counseling and library

* Creation of an ENG 1A Reader similar to those created for ENG 101 and ENG 253 courses.

* Professional development

* Increase SIs and Tutoring Support

Department Discussions

* waiting from data from chancellor's office so placement procedures may change.

ENG 253

course offerings will be significantly decreased

emails, meetings, hallway

ENG 101

Department voted to create a class that offers instruction in “workforce” contextualized reading and writing to serve certificate programs (while still introducing students to liberal arts).

and keep ENG 101 optional for students who want a more academic focused course before ENG 1A.
