What are the College Preparatory course frameworks and how were they developed?  \nThe House Bill 5 College Preparatory course frameworks in English and mathematics are the result of a collaborative process organized by the Texas Success Center (TSC) at the Texas Association of Community Colleges (TACC) . This work is guided by a steering committee comprised of educational leaders, community organizations, and regional entities that helps to oversee the framework development process and provide guidance and recommendations for the implementation of these courses.  \nThe preliminary content frameworks consist of course descriptions , recommended prerequisite courses, and student learning outcomes. Content committees , including both higher education and K-12 educators , worked collaboratively to develop preliminary frameworks to be released in time for use in the first year of implementation. As these preliminary frameworks are not a final product, the TSC will seek input from educators across the state and use this feedback to revise and enrich the documents. The framework content is guided by the learning outcomes in the Lower-Division Academic Course Guide Manual (ACGM) , the Texas College and Career Readiness Standards (CCRS) , and the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) . Educators are invited to contribute feedback that will benefit the continued development of the frameworks.  \n2. What is the purpose of the College Preparatory courses?  \nHouse Bill 5, passed by the 83rd Legislature, amended §28.014 of the Texas Education Code to require local school districts to develop and offer college preparatory courses in both English language arts and mathematics to high school students whose academic performance indicates the student is not yet ready for college-level coursework. The statute requires districts to partner with at least one institution of higher education to develop and provide the college preparatory courses designed for students at the twelfth grade level. The purpose of the HB 5 College Preparatory courses is to provide high school students an opportunity to gain and demonstrate the necessary college readiness in English language arts and/or mathematics to be successful in college-level , credit-bearing courses without the need for remedial or developmental coursework.  \n3. Are high schools required to offer a college prep course?  \nUnder §28.014 of the Texas Education Code, each school district is required to partner with at least one institution of higher education to develop and provide college preparatory courses in English language arts and mathematics. However, each high school within the school district is not required to offer these courses. (Source: Texas Education Agency)  \n4. Who should take the College Preparatory courses?  \n§28.014 of the Texas Education Code states that the courses must be designed for students at the 12th grade level whose coursework, college entrance examination scores, or Texas Success Initiative (TSI) assessment scores indicate that a student is not ready to perform entry-level college coursework. Furthermore, the course must be designed to prepare students for success in entry-level college courses. The statute also states that the course must be designed for students whose performance on an end-ofcourse assessment instrument does not meet college readiness standards. However, the THECB“College Readiness” indicators were measures on the Algebra II and English III EOC exams, which are not currently administered and will be optional beginning in the 2015-2016 school year. The THECB College Readiness indicators do not currently exist for Algebra I or English I & II. Thus, the College Preparatory courses described in §28.014 are not designed to provide any type of remediation for Algebra I or English I & II.  \n5.
