I am getting a 12 credit articuation agreement with Tri-C. It depends on where your schools is at and if you are in the North Coast Consortium. The contact is John Parrin. You need a CTE-26 and your vocational supervisor to do some calling. If there are other community colleges around your area you may want to call. They are transferable in Ohio.

Melissa, What are you getting 12 credits in? Are these all of the TAG courses?

I just got an email from Dr. Virgina Keil which read:
Patti,

We have been reviewing all portfolios from students who have successfully completed Teaching Professions Academy programs. We have found the quality of student work to be outstanding, so we decided that an articulation agreement was unnecessary. The student must have successfully completed all aspects of your program, he/she must submit his/her graded portfolio to our faculty, complete the necessary paperwork, and the student is eligible for credit if everything is in order.



Hope this helps. We are pleased that Christopher is considering UT.



Let me know if you have additional questions. Keep up the great work.

Do you have a written agreement?

Does anyone know if Kent State has an agreement to accept credit for Teaching Professions? In the Northwest Ohio Tech Prep Consortium, the credit is given through Northwest State Community College. I have a student who wishes to attend Kent State in the fall of 2010. When he visited Kent and asked about credit for this course, no one could give him a definite answer. I called and they are investigating it.

No luck here!

Does that mean that Kent State hasn't given credit for the class to any of your students who have gone there?

We've met with them several times and they feel they are the only ones qualified to give college credit. They invited some of us to Kent to discuss an articulation but all they had to offer was credit by exam in instructional technology. Denise G. was there too. Have you heard anything Denise? That meeting happened several years ago and I never heard another thing. Kent Trumbull is right next door to our school and some of our tech prep programs are housed there. Go figure!

My students from Tri-C will get credit in Into to Ed, Ed Tech, Ed Psych and Foundations. It sounds great, but I do not at this point know how much will transfer out to other colleges. We are getting it set up as we speak. As for Kent State, I heard that they will grade an electronic portfolio. I would contact Kent and retry getting an agreement. I hope with this new senior to sophomore thing the state wants to do that they willl honor our portfolios and make it easier and fair to all programs.

We are right in Kent State's backyard and have many TP students attend each year. Unfortunately it has been very discouraging to get anything from Kent. My students have had their portfolios reviewed by Kent State, none have been accepted as meeting all of their technology requirements. Oddly, the students have been permitted to register and pay for the Educational Technology course where they did not have to attend the class but did have to do a final project. At one point they did offer a $125 book credit at their campus store. Just recently I contacted the person I had been working with over the past few years and was informed that there are now new people employed in those key positions. My email was forwarded, however I have not heard anything from any of them.

This is discouraging news, I want to be honest about my students and their parents about receiving college credit.When I spoke with Kent State I was transferred from admissions to the College of Education and spoke with with Dr. O'Conner (sp.) in the College of Education. I think he deals with the Tech prep credits. He said he would check around and get back with me. Anybody know anything about that? Thanks for all of your insight.

Melissa are you at Tri county Career Center and you say that UT will give them 12 credits? Am I understanding you correctly?

I agree with Rhonda, they are VERY resistant to give any credits and they are not very good at returning emails.

I am at Tri-C which is Cuyahoga Community College. We are in the North Coast Consortium. I think the Cleveland Schools and the surrounding circle of districts are. I didn't know there was another TriC. Sorry for the confusion. I will let you know how our articulation is going. I haven't seen all the paperwork yet,myvocational director is handling most of it.

Hi-
At the conference yesterday, we discussed a place that we could put/discuss what articulation agreements our schools had. If you could post what the college is, what you get (how many credits, waiver etc.) and if you remember who you contacted. This way we can contact these schools and say "So and so has this, can we get it too?"
We at Maple Heights have an articualtion agreement with Tri- C(Cuyahoga Community College) for 12 credits. These include the TAG Intro to Ed, then credits in Micro computer, educational tech (but not the TAG perse-working on that one) and CPR where they can take a bridge course to get certified I think). I spoke to John Parrin. Since this is through North East Ohio Tech Prep, I don't know if anyone else outside of this consortiium can get this agreement, but it worth a try. However , I would like to get some agreements with 4 year colleges.

My students (Mid-East Career and Tech. Ctrs, Zanesville) received three semester hours at Muskingum University in New Concord for Education 110. They have to pay $100 fee and this has been the case for seven years. I do know that Tri-County Career Center in Nelsonville partners with Ohio University-Athens and those students are receiving eight credits for both an Intro to Education and Technology course. Lesa McDaniel would have the details on this. My students often attend a branch OU-Zanesville and I'm working on ensuring that they also get those eight credits there, which is not currently the case.
