The law ensures that students begin math in the course that best positions them to complete their calculus requirement. A college has this obligation to all STEM students, regardless of their background or special population status.  \nPrevious research conducted by The RP Group’s Multiple Measures Assessment Project (MMAP) and summarized in  \nPreparatory Pathways and STEM Calculus Completion: Implications of the AB 1705 Standards found high rates of attrition along the path to calculus for students who began in preparatory courses. When grouped by level of highschool math preparation, students who directly enrolled in STEM Calculus 1 were more likely to complete calculus within two years than those who started in preparatory coursework. This key finding was also true across placement levels defined by a combination of highschool grade point average (HSGPA) and high school math preparation.  \nThis brief provides additional analysis focusing on STEM students from special populations. Specifically, we examined STEM students who participated in one or more of the following programs while enrolled at a California community college: Disabled Students  \nKey Terms  \nSTEM Calculus Pathway: A sequence of courses comprised of one or more transfer-level preparatory courses and STEM Calculus 1.  \nDirect Enrollment: Student’s first math enrollment in the California Community Colleges (CCC), not necessarily in the freshman year.  \nSTEM Calculus 1: The first STEM Calculus course, equivalent to CID Math 210, 211, or the first half of Math 900S.  \nPreparatory Course: A transferlevel math course required in the path to STEM Calculus 1 that may include College Algebra, Trigonometry, or Precalculus.  \nSTEM Calculus 1 Two-Year Throughput: Proportion of the cohort starting in a specified course in the STEM Calculus Pathway (College Algebra, Trigonometry, Precalculus, or STEM Calculus 1) who successfully completed STEM Calculus 1 (with a C or better) within two years.  \nPrograms and Services ( DSPS) :1 Extended Opportunity Programs and Services (EOPS); Mathematics, Engineering, and Science Achievement (  MESA);  Puente; and/or Umoja. It also includes students classified as economically disadvantaged, foster youth, and/or military. We begin with an overview of the methodology, followed by key findings and conclusions.  \nMethodology  \nThis analysis of STEM Calculus 1 completion for STEM students from special populations extends our original research and applies the same methodology used in the statewide analysis of all STEM majors.2  \nIn summary, we obtained data from the California Partnership for Achieving Student Success (CalPASS), with technical assistance from Education Results Partnership (ERP), which managed the system. The CalPASS data system contained anonymous and encrypted student-level data from participating K–12 and postsecondary institutions, including data from the Chancellor’s Office Management Information System (COMIS) and the centralized California community college application, CCCApply.  \nWe identified STEM students as those who had declared a STEM major and whose first math enrollment within the California Community Colleges (CCC) was a transfer-level preparatory course in the STEM calculus pathway or STEM Calculus 1. For this brief, we disaggregated the original cohort by special population variables reported by colleges through COMIS (see Appendix A) . If students had a special population status at any point in the timeframe of the study, we included them in the analysis (see Table 1, Appendix B) .  \nWe grouped students using the STEM Calculus pathway placement profiles defined by the California Community Colleges Chancellor’s Office (CCCC","cbCaip6X6n8BJfYu","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaip6X6n8BJfYu","pdf",648407,"English","# Introduction\n## Key Terms\n## Methodology\n## Key Findings","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of AB 1705 for STEM students in California community colleges?\",\"answer\":\"AB 1705 aims to improve STEM students’ progress by ensuring they begin math in the course that best supports completing their calculus requirement.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the brief define STEM Calculus Pathway and STEM Calculus 1 completion?\",\"answer\":\"STEM Calculus Pathway is a sequence including one or more transfer-level preparatory courses and STEM Calculus 1.
