We will look at the dynamic involvement of the CCC Academic Senate in developing the process, removing barriers and providing assistance in the articulation process. High School participation, procedures and outcomes will be explored through the examination of an articulation agreement template. The timeline and activities involved in hosting an Articulation Day will be focused upon. In conclusion, a student who has benefited from articulation credit will speak about her experiences – from learning about articulated credit – to working her way through the process – to the impact on her college plan. Questions will be taken at the conclusion of the presentation.

Curriculum Integration

Presentation Description:

In the highly competitive global economy of the 21st century, it is crucial that our students are well-equipped with knowledge in science, math, and the language arts to succeed. Accordingly, the State of California developed rigorous and comprehensive standards for Career Technical Education (CTE). With funding from an SB 70 Grant, Coastline ROP designed workshops to integrate the CTE standards. ROP and non-ROP academic teachers collaborated in career cluster teams to design instructional strategies that best deliver the integrated content to students. In this workshop, the focus will be on the incorporation of science, math, and the language arts. Come and learn how Coastline ROP provided opportunities for both ROP and non-ROP academic teachers to collaborate on creating lesson plans that effectively implement the CTE standards and fostered collegial teamwork, strengthening the quality of curricula across the board.
