• Why pathways?
• Facilitating pathways
• Programs of Study
• CTE transitions activities
• Student articulation processes and credit by exam
• C-ID and CTE
Overview of CTE TransitionsOverview of CTE Transitions
• 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…
Why pathways?
• 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.
Perkins Language
• Keys to development AND effectiveness?
• Simplicity. −Clear messaging.−Simple process.
• Portability.−HS > CCC−Between CCCs
• Productivity.
Facilitating Establishment of Pathways
• Project of the Academic Senate for California Community Colleges
• SB 70 (2005) Education Code § 88532.
• Improving linkages and CTE pathways between HS and CCC
Statewide Career Pathways (SCP)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

• 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
Statewide Programs of StudyStatewide Programs of Study
• 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
Programs of Study includePrograms of Study include
• CTE transition activities:−Dual Enrollment−Concurrent Enrollment−Articulation
Programs of Study includePrograms of Study include
• 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
Dual Enrollment
• High school students taking college courses for college credit.
• No MOU is in place, typically
• High schools may allow credit
Concurrent Enrollment
• 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
Articulation BasicsArticulation Basics
• 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
Agreement TemplatesAgreement Templates
• 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

Articulation AgreementsArticulation Agreements
• 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)
Articulation VSArticulation VSCredit By Exam (CBE)Credit 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:

• 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
C-ID and CTEC-ID and CTE
• 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?
