Teacher Articulation Process

Teacher Articulation Process

 

Once you have been approved to teach a College Now class, you will need to complete the articulation process. Often teachers cannot articulate a course in the same trimester/semester in which they are approved.  The timeline is just too tight to finish the teacher approval process and begin the articulation process in time to teach to cover all of the college topics and activities in the course.

 

Articulation Process

 

Step 1           Before teaching a course, teachers meet with the appropriate COCC faculty to ensure curriculum, grading, materials, training and assessments are current for issuing college credit.   You will meet at least once per academic year.

 

Step 2           Together, they read over and fill out the Articulation Agreement with the high school teacher.  The Articulation Agreement signifies your intent to teach a course or courses during an academic school year.  You may only articulate courses you have been approved to teach.  Two signatures are required on the form before it is turned in to the College Now office:  the teacher and the principal.

 

                     For Transfer classes the teacher and faculty need to work through the Course Agreement form.  This documents requires the signature of the high school teacher and the faculty upon completion.

Step 3           The initial articulation meeting at a minimum should include discussion about the following:

                                   

  • Lesson plans
  • Textbook/s to be used
  • Assessment of student outcomes
  • Review of grading requirements
  • For Transfer, design the syllabus for Transfer (a copy of the course syllabus must be on file in the College Now office).
  • For CTE courses, review the appropriate Course Competency Checklist

 

Step 4           After receiving the Articulation Agreement and, for Transfer classes, the Course Agreement Form, the College Now office circulates the documents for required COCC signatures.  A copy will be mailed to you and your principal along with the name of your COCC articulating faculty.
