89070.10. It is the intent of the Legislature in enacting this
chapter to establish a program which will identify skills and
knowledge necessary for success at various levels of college
preparatory mathematics and to ensure that each public school pupil
who can benefit from this program shall have access thereto. The
program shall provide timely diagnostic assessments to both teachers
and pupils indicating in which areas of mathematics pupils and
classes are adequately prepared and in which areas further study is
necessary.
89070.15. The California Mathematics Diagnostic Testing Program is
hereby established. The Trustees of the California State University
shall administer the program and in so doing shall cooperate with the
University of California, the California Community Colleges, and the
State Department of Education.
89070.20. The trustees shall do all of the following:
(a) Develop assessment materials and diagnostic services which are
designed to assess pupils' knowledge and skills in the area of
mathematics and which are consistent with the Mathematics Framework
for California Public Schools and the expectations of postsecondary
education.
(b) Make these materials and services available to mathematics
faculty members of the public school system, who request them.
(c) Provide opportunities for mathematics faculty of high schools
operated by school districts throughout California, especially those
at junior and senior high schools which have low student
participation or achievement in postsecondary education, to work with
postsecondary faculty to consider their pupils' diagnostic results.
89070.25. In developing this system, the trustees shall ensure that
the use of these assessment instruments and diagnostic services
assist in all of the following:
(a) Contributing to secondary school pupils' preparation for
postsecondary education.
(b) Reducing the demand for remedial programs in mathematics at
the postsecondary level.
(c) Complementing and supplementing other assessment efforts,
including, but not limited to, the California Assessment Program, and
the Golden State Examination, by making available to pupils,
parents, faculty, and the advisory committee careful analyses of
pupils' readiness for work in college preparatory mathematics.
(d) Providing individual pupils with detailed information about
their levels of preparedness in areas of mathematics needed for
success in further college-preparatory or beginning level college
mathematics.
(e) Helping teachers and departments examine the effectiveness of
existing courses in preparing pupils for further mathematics study.
(f) Encouraging appropriate use of these instruments in schools
with low student participation in postsecondary education.
(g) Ensuring that public schools located in all areas of the
state, including rural, urban, and suburban have access to program
services.
(h) Establishing networks between secondary and postsecondary
mathematics faculty to address curricular issues, including but not
limited to, mathematics prerequisites for success in college.
89070.30. An intersegmental advisory committee is hereby
established to make recommendations to the trustees regarding the
policies, organization, and operations of the California Mathematics
Diagnostic Testing Program, including, but not limited to, all of the
following:
(a) Developing a general policy for the diagnostic assessment of
secondary pupils which is directly related to the skills and
knowledge needed for success in college level mathematics and which
is consistent with the Mathematics Framework for California Public
Schools and the expectations of postsecondary education.
(b) Developing criteria for determining program direction.
(c) Developing criteria for program evaluation which shall
include, but shall not be limited to, determining whether there is an
increase in the number of students taking advanced college
preparatory mathematics courses, and determining whether there is an
improvement in California Assessment Program, Golden State
Examination, and other assessment scores.
(d) Developing criteria for ensuring that all public schools
throughout the state have access to program services, and ensuring,
as a primary objective, participation by those schools with low
student enrollment in postsecondary education.
(e) Identifying additional resources and efforts which promote the
objectives of the program.
89070.35. (a) The intersegmental advisory committee shall consist
of the following members:
(1) Two members, one of whom shall be a mathematics faculty
member, appointed by each of the following:
(A) The Chancellor of the California State University.
(B) The President of the University of California, if he or she
chooses to serve as a member.
(C) The Chancellor of the California Community Colleges.
(D) The Superintendent of Public Instruction.
(2) One member appointed by each of the following:
(A) The Chair of the Association of Independent California
Colleges and Universities.
(B) The Director of the California Postsecondary Education
Commission.
(C) The Chair of the California Academic Partnership Program
Advisory Committee.
(D) The Director of the California Mathematics Project.
(b) The intersegmental advisory committee may recommend that the
trustees increase its size by the appointment of public, corporate,
or other members.
89070.40. The Trustees of the California State University shall
work with the University of California, the California Postsecondary
Education Commission, and the advisory committee to develop a
comprehensive program evaluation. This evaluation shall be conducted
in 1993, and every three years thereafter to determine the success of
the program.
89070.10. It is the intent of the Legislature in enacting this
