Conference on English and Mathematics. Proceedings (October 21-23, 1987, Napa, California).
Noreen, Robert, Ed.
The Conference on English and Mathematics brought together 100 faculty members from the California Community Colleges and the California State University to address such topics as curricular standards; admission, placement, and exit testing; improvement of transition from upper- to lower-division study; and the integration of English and mathematics skills. The proceedings include the text of papers presented at the conference, reports on workshops, and recommendations emanating from the event. After background information on the purposes and planning of the conference, Lee Kerschner's keynote address on the promotion of intersegmental cooperation, equity, quality, and efficiency in California postsecondary education is presented with his responses to questions from the audience. After explaining the charges given to conference participants for small group discussions, reports on the following workshops are provided: (1) "Standards and Expectations in English"; (2) "Standards and Expectations in Mathematics"; (3) "Issues of Transfer and Articulation"; (4) "Assessment and Placement in English"; (5) "Assessment and Placement in Mathematics"; and (6) "Integration of English and Math." Next, selected recommendations developed in the workshops are summarized. Finally, John D. Randall, the interim Chancellor of the California Community Colleges highlights pending state legislation with implications for intersegmental cooperation, and W. Ann Reynolds, Chancellor of the California State University, offers closing remarks. (EJV)
