Review of Articulation Agreements
When a new articulation agreement is proposed by a partner high school OR when an existing articulation agreement is being reviewed for continued alignment, the following steps will be followed:
1. The high school or district CTE administrator and SPSCC’s workforce administrator will come to agreement on articulations to consider or review.
2. SPSCC’s workforce administrator will collect class frameworks from the CTE administrator and send them to faculty who teach the articulating SPSCC course and the supervising dean for review.
3. If SPSCC faculty and dean agree that there is at least 80% alignment between the high school course and the SPSCC course, the workforce administrator will draw up an articulation agreement for signatures. If there is not at least 80% alignment, the workforce administrator will communicate this to the high school administrator.
4. Articulation agreements will be signed by the SPSCC workforce administrator, approving SPSCC faculty and dean, and the high school or district CTE administrator and kept on file in the SPSCC workforce office.
Annual Teacher Verification
1. Each academic year, SPSCC’s workforce administrator or designee will prepare a teacher verification form for each partner high school.
2. High school instructors teaching a course or courses with an active CTE dual credit articulation will sign the verification form, affirming that they meet the CTE dual credit teaching requirements and that they will meet the standards for alignment set up in the articulation agreement.
After high school instructors have signed, the high school or district CTE administrator and the SPSCC workforce administrator will sign the annual verification form.
