Collaboration: Contracting with HS Faculty to Teach CC Courses Ensure you have qualified faculty and that you adhere to info in CC12-018 when employing high school teachers as instructors in colleges courses. Ensure that content taught in CCP sections of college courses is equivalent in every way to that taught in any other section of the course. Ensure that you have accurate documentation of when the course is taught (if it is F2F), again, just as you do for any other section of that course (or any course),and that the documentation establishes specific college class beginning ending time/dates.

Collaboration: Contracting with HS Faculty to Teach CC Courses Bottom line is that colleges have a responsibility to ensure learning outcomes are equivalent in all sections of courses for which you have academic responsibility. This would include ensuring the same sorts of evaluation processes for all classes.

Local Articulation Agreements Memo Of Understanding (MOU) For effective partnerships, clear agreements are the foundation for success. Incorporate all existing agreements. Think through each agency’s responsibilities. Who, what, when, where and how? Guide for Course Alignment: http://www.ncperkins.org/pluginfile.php/81/mod_resource/content/2/LocalArticula tionAgreement.pdf De Tool to guide conversations about the needed elements of an MOU. De will facilitate the work and the directions on how to use the tool. Lisa to give context-reasons for clear understandings.

MOU Working Document Who, what, when, where and how? Facilities Program/Course Availability and Articulation Personnel Registration Fees Transportation Textbooks Supplies Other Areas We encourage the colleges to develop a local articulation agreement with the LEAs in their service area. These local agreements can respond to the needs of the local business and industry. Our state agreement does not include courses where there is less than 1,000 high school students enrolled, so if the course is unique to your area, you will need to add it to a local articulation agreement. On the website you can find a guide to developing a local articulation agreement. And we have an online self-paced course on creating a local agreement. Books, Equipment, Faculty, ===== 9/2/2016

WORK TIME Report Out Homework: Take the tool to a grade alike meeting or other options to get input from others who are impacted by college partnerships. What other elements should be included, what other barriers exist, what plans can the partners make to minimize the barriers, etc… https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Working_Together_Teamwork_Puzzle_Concept.jpg
