Presentation Transcript

  1. Sid Burks • Community College Instructor & Coordinator (Chaffey) • Member of the State Wide Career Pathways, School to Work Articulation Project • Former Dean • Previous Experience as a Secondary School Teacher and Administrator. • Experience in Business and Industry. • CTE Articulation at Chaffey

  2. Why Articulate? • It Benefits the Student • It Benefits the Parents • It Benefits the Taxpayer • It Benefits the High School Program • It Benefits the Community College Program

  3. Articulation Benefits the Student: • It respects the student’s previous work. • It encourages the student to do well in their high school/ROP course. • It encourages the student to pursue a Program of Study. • It allows the student to bypass entry level courses at the C.C. that may be impacted by non-majors. • It encourages the student to attend college. • It saves the student time and money.

  4. Articulation Benefits the Parents • It motivates their son/daughter to attend college. • It saves on tuition.

  5. Articulation Benefits the High School/ROP Program • Articulation lends credibility. • It motivates students • It helps develop positive relationships with the community college. • It can reduce the need for expensive equipment and other resources.

  6. Articulation Benefits the Tax Payer • Every articulated class saves $225 per Unit per Student. • 24 students X 3 units = $5,400! • It reduces the need for duplication of equipment and other resources.

  7. Articulation Benefits the Community College Program: It offsets attrition by providing more students for advanced classes. It helps develop positive relationships with feeder high school and ROP programs. (high school teachers become recruiters) It complies with Board policies.

  8. Best Practices CTE Articulation

  9. Strive for Viable Articulation Agreements Based on Trust and Respect.

  10. Get Rid of the Residency Requirement! • Not required by law or Ed. Code. • Requires clumsy “Credit in Escrow” process. • Fall back to waiving the Residency Requirement for articulated courses if necessary.

  11. Win Over the A & R Department • A & R – The “Black Hole” of Articulation • Develop a process. • Document the process – make it Board policy if possible. • Make sure A & R agrees with the process and trains ALL their people on it. (volunteer to do it) • Review and Revise as necessary.

  12. Take Advantage of the Work Done by the Statewide Career Pathways (SCP) Project • Use SCP Templates. • Enter articulation agreements into the statewide data base. • Use resources made available by SCP. • Participate in SCP activities.

  13. Invest in a management software system - CATEMA • Train your teachers on its use. • Have them enroll their students as a group & record their CCC Apply I.D. Number. • Learn and make use of the reporting features to sell your program.

  14. Use Credit by Exam rather than Advanced Placement (AP): • AP not transcripted. • AP is easily lost in the “system”. • The student will not get unit credit for the articulated course. • IT JUST MEANS A LOT MORE!

  15. Identify and Track Articulation Students • Issue I.D. Cards • Issue and Maintain Informal Transcripts

  16. Make Your Articulation Program Known • Build a website and/or put out a newsletter. • Make Board Reports. • Get your numbers out.

  17. Communicate With Your Articulation Partners • Visit and Make presentations at the High School/ROP • Hold an Open House. • Invite classes for tours – provide transportation. • Keep High School/ROP teachers advised of any changes. • Ask to be advised of any changes they make. • Hold mutual Advisory Committee

  18. Base Credit by Exam on an Actual Exam • Portfolios and skills demonstrations can work but they are a logistical nightmare. • The “Exam” does not have to be administered by the college. • Licensure and certification examinations are great for “Credit by Exam”.

  19. Renew and Maintain Articulation Agreements
