Symposium on Transitions Success

This symposium provides an overview of Career and Technical Education (CTE) transitions, including the importance of pathways, facilitating their establishment, programs of study, CTE transition activities, student articulation processes, and credit by exam. The symposium highlights the significance of pathways for students, the state, and employers, and explores the keys to developing effective pathways. Statewide Career Pathways (SCP) and the CTE Pathways Program are also discussed, along with the role of articulation, dual enrollment, and concurrent enrollment in facilitating transitions. The symposium addresses common issues and challenges related to credit by exam and emphasizes the use of Course Identification Numbering System (C-ID) and Transfer Model Curricula (TMC) in CTE. Attendees will gain valuable insights and best practices to enhance student success in the high school to community college pipeline.

Presentation Transcript

  1. Symposium on Transitions Success Pathways to Student Success

  2. Overview of CTE Transitions • Why pathways? • Facilitating pathways • Programs of Study • CTE transitions activities • Student articulation processes and credit by exam • C-ID and CTE

  3. Why pathways? • It’s the right thing to do – for students, for the state, for employers. • Significant investments have been made in facilitating the establishment of such pathways – it is critical that they meet their potential. • Perkins funding…

  4. Perkins Language • Local Education Agency (LEA) … must provide at least one program of study that incorporates secondary and postsecondary elements; includes coherent and rigorous content aligned with challenging academic standards and relevant CTE in a coordinated, non-duplicative progression of courses that align secondary education with postsecondary education to adequately prepare students to succeed in postsecondary education; and leads to an industry-recognized credential or certificate at the postsecondary level, or an associate or baccalaureate degree.

  5. Facilitating Establishment of Pathways • Keys to development AND effectiveness? • Simplicity. • Clear messaging. • Simple process. • Portability. • HS > CCC • Between CCCs • Productivity.

  6. Statewide Career Pathways (SCP) • Project of the Academic Senate for California Community Colleges • SB 70 (2005) Education Code § 88532. • Improving linkages and CTE pathways between HS and CCC

  7. Statewide Career Pathways (SCP) • SB1070 (2012), Education Code § 88532. • Established the CTE Pathways Program • Develop and strengthen linkages and CTE pathways between HS and CCC to accomplish specified objectives • Included separate marketing campaign • whodouwant2b.com

  8. Statewide Programs of Study • Program of Study (PoS) Templates • SCP convenes faculty to develop templates • PoS templates facilitate relationship discussion • Articulation and dual enrollment are part of PoS discussion • Local Programs of Study are developed as a result of a local relationship between institutions

  9. Programs of Study include • High School Courses • College Coursework: C-ID Course numbers • College Activities • Occupations specific to discipline • Certifications, Degrees, Outcomes • CTE transition activities: • Dual Enrollment • Concurrent Enrollment • Articulation

  10. Programs of Study include • CTE transition activities: • Dual Enrollment • Concurrent Enrollment • Articulation

  11. Dual Enrollment • High School students taking college courses on the high school campus for credit with both institutions. • Can be complicated to initiate • Detailed policy and protocols required

  12. Concurrent Enrollment • High school students taking college courses for college credit. • No MOU is in place, typically • High schools may allow credit

  13. Articulation Basics • What is articulation? • Why articulation versus other K12 >>> CCC transition pathways? • What does articulation do and not do? • Local requirements versus credit granting • How is articulation created and implemented • Agreements and processes

  14. Agreement Templates • Articulation Templates • SCP convenes faculty to develop templates • Articulation templates facilitate articulation discussion • Local agreements also housed in online repository • Local agreements are generated based on approved templates between a secondary school and a post-secondary institution, usually a community college

  15. Articulation Agreements • Similar components to a course outline of record: • Course description • Prerequisite • Course Content • Competencies and Skills requirements • Measurement Methods • Sample Textbook • End of Course assessment detail is key piece

  16. Articulation VSCredit By Exam (CBE) • Articulation • Only waives local requirements – pre/corequisites, placement, etc. • Does not earn college credit – but can be the basis for allowing credit by exam (CBE)

  17. Articulation VSCredit By Exam (CBE) • Credit By Exam (CBE) • Students complete proficiency/mastery exam for college credit. • Evaluation must be developed by appropriate faculty • Evaluation may be proctored • Process and procedures must be clear • White Paper on best practices available: http://asccc.org/publications/academic-senate-papers

  18. Credit by Exam – Issues and Challenges • Students not getting credit. • Why not? • Potential fixes?

  19. C-ID and CTE • C-ID • Course Identification Numbering System • Descriptors describe courses • Transfer Model Curricula in CTE • “TMC” • 60 + 60 – response to SB 1440 • Model Curricula • Certificates • “Terminal” degrees

  20. Questions to Consider Today • What are the best practices from today that can most impact our students in the HS - CC pipeline? • What are practices currently in place that are counter to student success that may need adjustment? • What are the barriers to creating a best practice policy/protocol on my campus? How can those issues be resolved?
