Purpose

The purpose of the articulation component of the Tech Prep Initiative is to providelinkages between two or more educational systems which assist ALI. students inmaking a smooth transition from one level to another without expe;iencing delays,duplication of coursework, or loss of credit.

Overview

The articulation component of Tech Prep focuses on creating a smooth transition fromthe secondary school to a postsecondary setting or the work force. This componentinvolves identification of articulation linkage points, establishment of action teams to linksecondary and postsecondary components of the total Tech Prep program, and thecreation of sequential courses of study for all students enrolled in the Initiativeprograms.

Goals and Objectives

To identify programs/courses which should be articulated and the participantswho need to be involved;

To articulate high school and communityfjunior college (C/JC) vocational-technical and academic programs/courses, and

To identify career clusters and develop sequential courses of study for eachcluster which prepare studems for technical career opportunities.

Outcomes

Coordination of instructional content between secondary and postsecondarycourses

Recommendations for advanced placement for vocational-technical andacademic courses

Sequential courses of high school study which better prepare students forpostsecondary program majors.
