Local Articulation Meeting
In an effort to assist secondary institutions with federal and state initiatives concerning articulation agreements, the Central Texas Tech Prep Consortium is organizing a Local Articulation Agreement Workshop on Thursday, November 13th from 1:30 – 3:30 pm at the Temple College Pavilion for the following clusters: Business Management & Administration; Finance; Information Technology; Marketing, Sales & Service; and Architecture & Construction (drafting only). This will be an opportunity for area teachers to meet college faculty and establish or update articulation agreements for their students. College faculty and secondary teachers will look at individual course objectives in an attempt to align secondary curriculum with college course standards so that students will be able to receive college credit for career and technical courses.
Teachers and counselors within the Central Texas Tech Prep Consortium are welcome to attend the articulation workshop; however, secondary teachers are encouraged to be present when meeting with the college faculty. The consortium will provide member district’s teachers up to $50 per teacher per day for substitute reimbursement. Teachers that are interested in registering for the local articulation agreement workshop should email Misty Harrell at mharrell@templejc.edu with the following information:
1. Name of District
2. Name of Individual, and position
3. CTE course area (example: Business)
