Benefits of Articulation

Creating and maintaining partnerships among differing levels in the educational system fosters communication and a sense of community. The articulation process in the Tech Prep program accrues many benefits for all parties involved:

Students

• Allows students to receive college credit and/or advanced placement for articulated courses completed in high school/ROP programs
• Provides the opportunity for students to complete introductory courses in a given discipline that are deemed equivalent with college coursework; thus, students can enter a college program taking more advanced coursework in that discipline
• Creates opportunities for a seamless transition from high school/ROP programs to college
• Encourages students to set educational goals and provides a framework to develop plans to achieve these goals

Faculty

• Increases interactions among faculty members across institutions
• Provides the opportunity for instructors to compare and align curriculum to streamline the educational system
• Allows for the sharing of resources and ideas among faculty members
• Encourages enrollment in articulated high school and ROP curricula and continued enrollment in advanced courses in college

Counselors

• Builds stronger relationships with counselors from other institutions
• Provides a structure to assist students in creating educational plans
• Offers an educational/vocational option for students to pursue
• Promotes student advancement, success, and program completion
