Nursing D iscipline I nput G roup Meetings (“ DIGs ”) May 4 & 11, 2012

1. Nursing Discipline Input Group Meetings (“DIGs”) May 4 & 11, 2012 Jane Patton, C-ID Faculty Coordinator Christie Jamshidnejad, Articulation Officer A Collaboration between C-ID and HWI

2. Today’s agenda Purpose of this meeting Update: California Collaborative Model of Nursing Education and AB 1295 What is C-ID? What is SB 1440? (Associate degrees for transfer) Today’s work session: Draft course descriptors

3. CA CMNE (2007)AB 1295 (2009)IOM Report (2010)SB 1440 (2010)

4. Summary of Key Differences (May 2012)Compiled by Liz Close, PhD, RN (with sole responsibility for content and interpretation)

5. Overview of C-ID • Senate Bill 1440: Associate Degrees for Transfer

6. What is C-ID? • A system to replace and expand on CAN • a supra-numbering system • a response to mandates & needs • a published set of course descriptors www.c-id.net

7. A database of course descriptors • Intersegmental • Faculty-driven • And its new role --- implementing SB 1440

8. “Course Descriptors” • Identify the essential, common components of a course • Provide enough detail to serve as the basis for articulation • Inform course updates • Permit identification of comparable courses • Provide consistency for the TMC

9. C-ID Descriptors include: Course description Units; labs Prerequisites Course content Objectives Evaluation methods Textbooks

10. Process • Develop draft descriptors at DIGs • FDRG finishes the draft descriptors • Vet draft descriptors (college & university) www.c-id.net • Finalize descriptors (FDRG) • Seek articulation with universities • Seek COR submissions from CCCs

11. www.c-id.net Be sure you and your colleagues sign up for the Nursing listserv ---to receive notices to review & comment on drafts. A department meeting might be spent reviewing them together.

12. Tasks today • Discuss components of a model curriculum • Draft course descriptors in 4 groups • Med Surg: intro & intermediate • Med Surg : complex med surg; critical care; geriatric care • Specialities: OB; Peds; Psych/mental health • Multicultural; Leadership; Pharmacology

13. Senate Bill 1440 • Mandates colleges offer“associate degrees for transfer” • Offers benefits for students

14. Associate Degree for Transfer Requirements: • A student must complete 60 semester units or 90 quarter units that are eligible for transfer to the CSU that consist of • IGETC or CSU GE Breadth • a major or area of emphasis of at least 18 units, as defined by the CCC • No additional local graduation requirements may be required • Minimum GPA of 2.0

15. “the CSU shall guarantee admission with junior status” • “. . . does not guarantee admission for specific majors or campuses” • “priority admission ---to local CSU campus and to a program or major that is similar . . . as determined by the CSU campus”

16. “The CSU may require a student transferring pursuant to this article to take additional courses at the CSU so long as the student is not required to take any more than 60 additional semester units or 90 quarter units at the CSU for majors requiring 120 semesterunits or 180 quarter units.”

17. “The CSU shall not require students . . . to repeat courses that are similar to those taken at the CC that counted toward the associate degree for transfer.”

18. Implementing SB 1440 112 colleges develop unique degrees in each major. . . OR A concerted, statewide, intersegmental transfer model curriculum (TMC) 

19. New “AA-T” and“AS-T” degrees

20. “Transfer Model Curriculum” Appropriate courses for an associate degree Preparation for transfer “Double-counting” encouraged 60 units total including GE

21. Features of TMC Common “core” – typically 6 units Additional courses selected from list (s) Total 18 units (minimum) Some courses may be in related fields

22. TMC: steps to develop “DIG” or FDRG drafts initial TMC (Faculty Discipline Review Group) FDRG reviews & modifies the draft A draft TMC is posted at www.c-id.net for vetting

23. TMC steps continued • FDRG makes sense of the feedback • either finalizes TMC or • modifies and re- vets if needed • TMC is finalized • CCCs develop degrees to align with TMC • CSU campuses determine if TMC is “similar”

24. Progress so far 18 final TMCs >6 under development ~330 degrees approved in Chanc. Office so far > 294 C-ID descriptors in place >1200 courses approved in C-ID Many more C-ID descriptors in the works

25. The relationship:C-ID + AA/AS-T First is C-ID: intersegmental faculty groups (FDRG) • They develop course descriptors • They develop a TMC

26. Today’s Groups: Look at “DIG” notes: “TMC” & questions Consider “TMC” Identify courses, then course descriptors: Med Surg: intro & intermediate Med Surg : complex med surg; critical care; geriatric care Specialities: OB; Peds; Psych/mental health Multicultural; Leadership; Pharmacology

27. Tips It helps if we can. . . • Maintain statewide perspectives. (Local campuses always have idiosyncrasies. ) • Consider: what would the ideal case be? • Consider other initiatives’ progress(1295 + CMNE) • Ensure you + colleagues are on your listserv

28. Thanks for being here!
