I am hoping some of you who have Middle College programs have some thoughts on this question: 
I am wondering if there has been any discussion with the dual enrollment group on the impact of AB 705 on middle college programs.  DVC is no longer offering the non transferable math classes and we are trying to figure out how to support the middle college students, where we have a variety of levels of math -- from needing Algebra to ready to go into college level pre calculus. I would love to hear how other middle college programs are responding and supporting their students. 

Looking forward to hearing what thoughts you all have! 

Thank you!

Mallory

Please see our Math Department Dean’s responses regarding support as it relates to AB705.

Hi Monica,

There are multiple things we are doing for the students who need support in response to AB705. These are for all students regardless of whether they are MECHS or regular students.

  1. I conducted a pre-semester bootcamp this fall for 6 hours (2 hours per day for 3 days) to cover the main topics from Elementary and Intermediate algebras that are needed for Statistics and College Algebra.
  2. We set up a new Math Community Center with math faculty and peer tutors from MESA to support students. The center is open Mondays through Thursdays between 2:30 and 5 pm. It is informal and designed to be a place for students to work on homework individually or as a group and ask questions. I even provide snacks.
  3. We are creating two non-credit algebra courses titled Fundamentals of Algebra 1 and Fundamentals of Algebra 2 which should be ready for Fall 2023. These are free courses for students to sign up and they will be run for 8 weeks each. Each class will be 48 hours in length. The contents are essential topics for students to go into all the transferrable math courses.
  4. We have some classes with 2 extra units for additional algebra support. These are MAT 10X (Elementary Statistics with Additional Support) and MAT 1X (College Algebra with Additional Support).
  5. Some classes have embedded tutors who attend classes and provide support for students.
  6. We will reformat one of our MAT 10X sections to meet 4 times a week, instead of the normal 2 days/week starting in Spring 2023.

 

Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks,
Clement

Hi, Clement and Valerie, I received this from the Dual Enrollment list-serve.

 

Are we doing anything different in terms of Math classes for MECHS students?

 

Thanks,
