  specific.

• Designed to meet lower division requirements for
  multiple CSU majors, including
• Global Studies, Global Politics, International
  Relations, International Studies, International
  Relations and Comparative Government.

13
AoE TMC gt ADT

• One to Many
• Some AoE TMCs may be used to develop multiple
  ADTs locally.
• For instance Social Justice Studies TMC could be
  used to develop ADTs in Womens Studies, Latin
  American Studies, LGBT Studies, and
  Africana/African American Studies at a single
  college.

14
AoE TMC gt ADT

• How can you help your faculty develop these new
  degrees?
• Educate your faculty regarding AoEs.
• Goal/purpose of AoEs is to serve CSU majors that
  dont currently have a substantial transfer
  population regardless of their standing at any
  given CCC.
• Local degree, beyond the more general core
  courses, can be as specific as desired.

15
AoE TMC gt ADT

• Review current curriculum, degrees, articulation
  agreements, and transfer patterns with local
  CSUs.
• Develop new courses based on C-ID descriptors for
  core and list A courses.
• Coordinate interdisciplinary work between faculty
  and departments. Bring the right faculty to the
  table.

II. Model Curricula
18
Model Curricula (MC) Overview

• Model curriculum (MC) is a curricular structure
  collaboratively developed by discipline faculty
  for a certificate or a degree that specifies the
  required and optional courses that comprise a
  locally offered award that is recognized
  statewide as MC-aligned.
• Two types
• CCCMC Intrasegmental
• ISMC Intersegmental

19
Why MCs?

• Could provide transfer benefits to students when
  universities have agreed to recognize an MC and
  offer students locally-defined benefits.
• May facilitate meeting employer needs for
  specified training.
• Can establish appropriate program consistency in
  awards across the colleges.
• Could facilitate student goal completion by
  simplifying student movement between colleges and
  honoring completed coursework through
  reciprocity.

20
Reciprocity in MCs

• Course reciprocity as established for TMCs.
• Consistency in MC-aligned degrees across colleges
  
• MCs for degrees must identify the GE options
  permissible
• Local
• Transfer
• Transfer for STEM
• No local graduation requirements.

21
Model Curriculum

• Current Finalized MCs
• Engineering
• Information Technology
• Nursing
• Under development
• Agriculture Certificates

22
MC Next Steps

• Shop Intersegmental Model Curriculum to
  universities
• Develop process for recognizing and signaling
  MC-alignment.
• AA-MC
• AS-MC
• CoA-MC
• Establish means of ensuring colleges follow
  rules.

23
CTE Disciplines Convened

• Addiction Studies
• Automotive Technology
• Biotechnology
• Commercial Music

24
MCs and the Workforce Task Force

  articulation, dual enrollment and CTE pathways
  between HSs, adult ed and CCCs.
• Collaborate with HS, adult ed and CCC educators
  on the development of MC.

25
MCs and Local Curriculum

• MCs are getting attention.
• Remain proactive and in control.
• Local colleges can begin process of reviewing
  current MCs for development of local degrees or
  certificates.
• Watch for new MC development, including C-ID
  descriptors.
