To support colleges with this validation process and to inform their local response, the California Community Colleges Chancellor’s Office partnered with The RP Group’s Multiple Measures Assessment Project (see sidebar) to conduct statewide analyses that examine enrollments in the STEM Calculus pathway and subsequent persistence to and completion of calculus.  \nMMAP examined a cohort of more than 37,000 STEM majors with a first math enrollment in the California Community Colleges between 2012-2013 and 2019-2020 to determine – based on their high school math preparation or placement by the state’s default precalculus placement rules – the implications of the AB 1705 standards in practice (see sidebar).3 Analyses included a look at:  \nMultiple Measures Assessment Project (MMAP) Overview  \nThis report was produced in partnership with The RP Group’s Multiple Measures Assessment Project (MMAP) . The RP Group launched MMAP in 2014 to support the advancement of developmental education reform in the California Community Colleges. MMAP now supports the California Community Colleges Chancellor’s Office with the implementation of AB 705 and AB 1705, which seek to improve equitable placement into and completion of transfer-level English and math courses required for a student’s program.  \nLearn more about this work at [www.rpgroup.org/mmap](www.rpgroup.org/mmap).  \n1 Find more information in the California Community Colleges’ AB 1705 Implementation Guide.  \n2 Transfer-level courses satisfy general education requirements for a baccalaureate degree from the California State University or University of California systems. Previous legislation (AB 705) set similar standards for placement into developmental education (pre-transfer-level courses) .  \n3 Find the methodology in Appendix A and cohort descriptions in Appendix B.  \n1. Who was highly unlikely to succeed when enrolled directly in STEM Calculus 1, the first STEM calculus course?  \n2. Who was more likely to complete STEM Calculus 1 when they started in a transfer-level preparatory course?  \n3. Who was more likely to persist to and complete STEM Calculus 2 when they started in a transfer-level preparatory course before completing STEM Calculus 1?  \nThis report contains descriptive analyses. A separate technical report provides multivariate logistic regression analysis responding to these same questions while controlling for factors such as time elapsed between high school and college math enrollment, prior use of placement testing, student demographics, and institutional characteristics.4  \nKey Findings  \nIn this section we present key findings and supporting analysis relevant to each of the three questions related to AB 1705 standards. We include additional findingson the association between STEM Calculus pathways, attrition in STEM programs and STEM equity.  \nThe section on Key Findings is organized as follows:  \n• STEM Calculus 1 Completion with Direct Enrollment  \n• STEM Calculus 1 Completion with Transfer-level Preparation in College  \n• STEM Calculus 1 Completion and Fe","cbCaisEzekqPOPMR","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaisEzekqPOPMR","pdf",1154840,36,"English","# Introduction\n## AB 1705 STEM Calculus Standards\n## Key Terms\n## Key Findings\n### STEM Calculus 1 Completion with Direct Enrollment\n### STEM Calculus 1 Completion with Transfer-level Preparation in College\n### STEM Calculus 1 Completion and Features of the Preparatory Pathway\n### STEM Calculus 2 Completion and Transfer-level Preparation\n## Additional Considerations: Conditional Throughput\n## Attrition in the Path to Calculus and STEM Programs\n## Attrition in the Path to Calculus and STEM Equity","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of AB 1705 regarding STEM Calculus completion in California Community Colleges?\",\"answer\":\"AB 1705 requires colleges to demonstrate that placing and enrolling STEM students in transfer-level math preparatory courses before STEM Calculus 1 provides clear benefits.
