Why Multiple Measures? Multiple measures provide a more complete picture of student ability increase the accuracy of placement, particularly by reducing underplacement http://bit.ly/CCRCPlacementAccuracy are required by law (Title V) supported by statewide Academic Senate Tests have been underplacing students Weak relationship between assessment tests and college course outcomes: bit.ly/CCRCAssessment Students of color, women, first generation college students, low SES students are more often placed into remediation: bit.ly/DefiningPromise Ken

Some lessons learned (from pilot colleges) MMAP rules are performing as expected Implementation of MM rules is nuanced, needs to involve members from across the college Communication to students should be clear and consistent – 1 placement rather than 2 Student support should be embedded Outreach/communication with local high schools Should include a robust research agenda Ken

What We Learned From The Field? Skills gap and little understanding for how to navigate careers In many cases, we heard higher education isn’t enough to prepare our generation for today’s landscape. More job- training programs are needed for our generation to move past that entry-level job. There was a shared fear that college costs will prevent them from pursuing post-secondary degrees they consider critical.

Our new reality in the CCC… High School and Community College partnerships are the key to helping students reach readiness standards that will excite business and industry; as well as state legislators College is a necessity if you are to be prepared for a living wage job Counselors and Student Services professionals will require a reboot toward placing transfer in its proper place to increase individuals sub-baccalaureate credential attainment Flipping the college decision-making paradigm advances the cause of helping adolescents transition toward adult decision- making
