Articulation 2 Ways Bernie Day, Articulation, Foothill College Jane Patton, ASCCC; Mission College Ron Selge, Dean, System Office
Did you know? • 2/3 of CSU graduates and 1/3 of UC graduates began at a community college. • Upon transferring they obtained GPAs equal to, or better than, “native” UC or CSU students. • In 2004, UC officials indicated that 25% of UC-eligible high school graduates had at least one community college course on their transcript Pocket Profiles, 2006 (from CCLC)
Articulation--defined Variations: • A formal, written agreement that identifies a course or sequence at a sending college that is comparable to or acceptable in lieu of a requirement at receiving institution. • Alignment of course content • Sequencing • Advanced placement
Two ways: • Between community colleges and universities (public and private) • Between high schools and colleges • typically in vocational areas • can take various forms
Articulation Basics • Why? • Who? • When? • How?
Faculty responsibilities for articulation • Discipline faculty are the only qualified persons to determine course comparability • Articulation Officers facilitate the processes
Curriculum Committee’s role • Ensuring course outlines, catalogs have correct designations. • Supporting discipline faculty to ensure they understand and fulfill articulation obligations.
Articulation initiatives with universities • CAN • C-ID • IMPAC • LDTP
CAN was canned • CAN designations can be maintained for 2 years after a new LDTP descriptor is in place. • Assume we can still note them on our documents for 2 years. . .
C-ID = Course Identification Number A proposal that improves upon CAN • a supra-numbering system • a response to mandates and needs • course descriptors for use by postsecondary institutions and CCC students
C-ID: a response to mandates & needs • Legislation (SB 450, SB 851, SB 1415) • MOUs • Unmet needs of students, articulation officers, counselors, staff, universities • Articulation processes would be greatly simplified with C-ID.
C-ID fills a void • Inter-segmental transfer • Intra-segmental transfer • Vocational courses • Many gaps left by LDTP
IMPAC • Intersegmental Major Preparation Articulated Curriculum • 33 disciplines met • 12 interdisciplinary discussions held • 2,290 faculty participated • CAN (167) and LDTP descriptors were written/revised • SciGETC developed
LDTP =Lower Division Transfer Pattern • CSU Project (SB 1785 & MOU) • Goal: to improve transfer into majors • Gives highest priority for admission • Plan: to take effect Fall 2007 • First 30 majors are to be completed by June 2006 • Approved courses will have a TCSU number • Status

Tech Prep • Many facets • Contextual curriculum • Work-based learning • Consortium based • Secondary / postsecondary or Secondary / apprenticeship linkages • Professional Development
Tech Prep • 80 consortia, self organized • Very local in scope • Funding levels inconsistent with charge (~ $80,000 annual per college)
SB 70, Scott • Governor’s Initiative on Economic Development and Career Technical Education • Chaptered into Ed Code 88532 • CCC System Office ---developing many projects • Academic Senate will develop one project--to develop H.S. articulation
SB 70, Scott • Quick Start Projects 54% of the funds ($10.8M) • Alignment/Articulation Project 20% of the funds ($4M) ASCCC • Strengthening existingK-12 CTE 12.5% of the funds ($2.5M / 10 projects) • Middle school/junior high career development 7.5% of the funds ($1.5M/10 projects) • Critical professional development needs – Counseling & Faculty in-service (teams of CC & 9-12 faculty working together in industry) 6% of the funds ($700k = 14 projects @ 50k)
ASCCC’s new project: Statewide Career Pathways: Creating School to College Articulation
Statewide Career Pathways • Opportunities for faculty to develop agreements. • Database of agreements • Outreach strategies to students, parents, staff • Goal: More transportability for common subject areas
