  1. Intersegmental Efforts to Facilitate Student Transfer Jane PattonMichelle Pilati ASCCC Leadership Institute 2006

  2. Description • Improving transfer for our students has become an ever-more important and complex goal, especially given the dissolution of CAN and new transfer initiatives such as LDTP at CSU and the UC Streamlining Project. A replacement proposal to CAN, called C-ID is being developed, and the 3 segments seek ongoing funding for IMPAC---the only formal forum for inter-segmental faculty dialog. As a senate leader, you will be expected to understand and promote efforts that strengthen student transfer to four-year institutions. This is your chance to learn about these important initiatives.

  3. Alternative Titles • Transfer Initiatives • Acronym Hell • How does anyone ever get out of here? • What happens when the legislature tries to simplify our lives..

  4. Can you identify these? • CAN • C-ID • IMPAC • LDTP • ICAS • SB 70 • SciGETC • Streamlining UC • OSCAR; ASSIST

  5. CAN • California Articulation Number • CC – CSU (UC never really played) • What can CAN do for us now? • While essentially defunct, CAN numbers will be relied upon initially for LDTP (more on that later)

  6. CCC Numbering System “C-ID”Course Identification

  7. What is C-ID? 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

  8. C-ID: a response to mandates • Legislation (SB 450, SB 851, SB 1415) • MOUs

  9. C-ID: a response to need • Students • Articulation officers, counselors, staff • Universities

  10. IMPACIntersegmentalMajor PreparationArticulated Curriculum

  11. IMPAC • To facilitate intersegmental and interdisciplinary discussion among segments of higher education • To clarify expectations for major preparation • To encourage faculty dialog of curriculum • To foster intersegmental cooperation

  12. Progress • 33 disciplines met • 12 interdisciplinary discussions held • 2,290 faculty participated • 167 CAN descriptors were written/revised • How many of you intended an IMPAC meeting?

  13. Accomplishments • SciGETC • One-semester chemistry course • Supplemental labs • Advising letters • Alignment of learning objectives • Development of LDTP course descriptors

  14. Future • Uncertain—not funded in 2006-07 • Funds could be available in 2007-08 • Working with ICAS to advertise the accomplishments of IMPAC

  15. 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

  16. ICAS • Intersegmental Committee of Academic Senates • The dysfunctional family dines together • No, really – a valuable opportunity for intersegmental collaboration.

  17. Statewide Career Pathways: Creating School to College Articulation

  18. Statewide Career Pathways • SB 70--chaptered into Ed Code 88532 • CCC System Office ---developing many projects • Academic Senate will develop this one project: HS articulation

  19. Goals 1. Target relevant regional fields 2. Develop artic. & pathways 3. Create artic. standards 4. Identify online technology 5. Increase student participation 6. Develop database 7. Build sustainability

  20. Some components • H.S. and college faculty meetings • Database of agreements • Outreach to students & institutions • Mechanism to sustain, renew, disseminate agreements

  21. Status • Steering committee meets in July • Existing articulation agreements are collected • Progress on database • Working with System Office, DoE, schools, ROPCs, tech prep

  22. Senate’s role • Curriculum oversight over all articulation (with universities & high schools) • Benefit for our students • Reaching students in H.S. can bring them to colleges, then to universities

  23. SciGETC • Science IGETC (intersegmental general education transfer curriculum) • For high unit science majors • Goal: to permit postponement of 2 GE courses until after transfer

  24. Streamlining UC Articulation Project • SB 477 requires every UC to articulate specific CCC courses/sequences when 4 or more UCs already articulated them • Transfer pathways will be published

  25. One more relevant acronym • SACC =System Advisory Committee on Curriculum • CIOs, SO staff, and ASCCC at the table to discuss matters related to curriculum • Progress: Stand alones; Handbook

  26. ICAS “A Transfer Discussion Document” Available at http://www.academicsenate.cc.ca.us Click on: • ICAS • Current projects • A Transfer Discussion Document Helpful glossary and summary of all legislative actions re. transfer.
