| Abstract: | Developmental education reform advanced by AB 705 and furthered by AB 705 promotes the use of corequisite support. Colleges provide this academic assistance via a separate support course taken concurrently with transfer-level math or English courses--to increase timely completion among students with a "low placement profile" based on their high school grade point average (HS GPA) and coursework. The full report details new findings from the Research and Planning Group for California Community Colleges' (The RP Group) Multiple Measures Assessment Project (MMAP) on corequisite support implementation and enrollment across the California Community Colleges since AB 705 implementation (2019-20 through 2023-24). It also looks at the impact of corequisite support on students' timely completion of transfer-level English and math--both compared to students starting in developmental education courses pre-AB 705 and to students enrolled in standalone courses without this support post-AB 705. This research brief presents findings from the main report. |
