California Assembly Bill (AB) 705 (2017) calls for community colleges to transform their approach to student placement in transfer-level English and math. This reform seeks to dismantle college reliance on standardized placement tests that have historically channeled many students--particularly those from underinvested communities--into remedial…

Beginning in 2019, California community colleges were required to use multiple measures to determine students' placement into initial math courses. Community colleges also created structured BSTEM and liberal arts (SLAM) math pathways beginning in 2017. This contemporaneous implementation could reproduce racialized stratification in math…

This study evaluates the impact of Maryland's Mathematics Reform Initiative (MMRI), which sought to improve student success in developmental and college-level math through comprehensive curriculum and structural reforms. Launched in 2015, the MMRI developed and implemented non-algebra math pathways tailored to students' chosen program of study.…

As community colleges and systems move away from developmental education and encourage students to enroll in introductory, college-level coursework to complete their math and English requirements, it is critical to provide students with additional academic supports to help them succeed. One such model is the corequisite course, a model that offers…

Daniel Lee Reinholz – Intercultural Education, 2025
Promoting equitable classrooms is a goal of postsecondary mathematics education, but there is still limited research on how faculty learn to teach more equitably. Despite the variety of techniques developed in primary and secondary education, there has been less use in higher education. This manuscript focuses on the 'assigning competence'…

Zachary Richards; Angela M. Kelly – Community College Review, 2025
Objective/Research Question: Community college graduation rates are typically quite low, and developmental mathematics enrollment and coursetaking patterns may constrain academic outcomes. To identify ways in which community college graduation rates may be improved, decision trees were utilized to examine the STEM coursetaking patterns of N =…

Patrick B. Johnson; Nathalia Holtzman; Eva Fernandez – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2025
Two groups of mathematics faculty, one from a four-year college and one from a two-year college, redesigned their respective introductory college mathematics courses following presentation of observational data regarding how faculty had been teaching the courses. This presentation emphasised how infrequently faculty teaching introductory college…
