5. Why Multiple Measures? Multiple measures
provide a more complete picture of student ability
increase the accuracy of placement, particularly by reducing underplacement
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

13. 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

40. 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.

41. Transfer Reality
From the 2016 State of the System Report, p. 13

42. How do most people choose?
OLD THINKING:

43. Is there a better way to approach the decision?
Flipping the College Decision Making Paradigm, Get Focused, Stay Focused

44. 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
