An intensive 3-day institute for getting ready for full implementation of AB 705
English and Math: In the past, only a highly filtered group of students would enroll in transfer-level courses – the ones who scored the highest on placement tests and those who survived the attrition of remedial course sequences. Under AB 705, transfer-level classes are becoming much more heterogeneous as the vast majority of students enroll directly in this level. This three-day summer institute will focus on pedagogy and classroom practices that harness student capacity and support all students to be successful. It will include designing effective classroom activities, building support for students’ affective needs, embedding foundational skills into the context of transfer-level work, and grading with a capacity mindset.

ESL: The institute will help ESL faculty anticipate and plan for the changes AB 705 will require in their own program, including changes to placement, curriculum, and pedagogy that maximize credit ESL students’ chances of completing transfer-level courses in English within three years.

t started a decade ago. It started with a mission – more Americans earning more degrees. That mission launched a movement, growing from a handful of change agents to an Alliance of 19 leading states. Now, this 46-member strong national network represents thousands of impatient reformers across the country focused on student success, tested reforms and measurable results. A completion nation.
Ten years after the birth of Complete College America, the mission remains. And the reforms are working. The needle is moving, but there is more to do. There are populations that are being left behind and equity gaps that persist. It will take a collective effort to close them.
CCA is more firmly focused on the future than ever and on the next ten years of impact. That means doubling down on what works and forging ahead with comprehensive structural change. It means intentionally searching the field for new game-changing ideas and greater innovation and advocating for stronger policy to help drive these efforts. CCA has never worked alone, and it’s clearer than ever before that the completion crisis can only be solved together.
So, join the movement. Join the completion nation.
