Developing Integrated Courses
UC ARTICULATION CONFERENCE
Workshop Goals
3
• Understand key components of the UC Course
Submission Form.
• Become familiar with the attributes of a successful
integrated course submission.
• Practice analyzing and revising samples from real
integrated course submissions.
UC ARTICULATION CONFERENCE
What is an integrated course?Integrated courses blend the content and skills from both:
•academic “a-g” disciplines and
•Career Technical Education (CTE) sectors.
UC ARTICULATION CONFERENCE
A successful integrated course includes:
•The vocabulary of both disciplines
•Authentic, logical integration
•Evidence of rigor
UC ARTICULATION CONFERENCE
Quick Review of Course Submission Form
•The unit summary should describe the content and skills
students learn.
• This description should highlight the actual work of the
course; do not simply list content standards the course
aligns with.
UC ARTICULATION CONFERENCE
DiscussionWhat might have contributed to Sample #1 earning "a-g" approval in the “c" (mathematics) subject area?
Remember, you are looking for
1. The vocabulary of both disciplines2. Authentic, logical integration of the content areas3. Evidence of rigor - texts and assignments are
clearly challenging
UC ARTICULATION CONFERENCE
Discussion
As a group review the excerpt in Sample #2 and discuss what might have prevented this excerpt from earning "a-g" approval in the “d" (laboratory science) subject area?
UC ARTICULATION CONFERENCE
Quick Review of Course Submission Form
•The assignment summaries should briefly describe the
products students turn in to demonstrate learning in each
unit.
• Each summary should include a brief description of that
product as well as its parameters and purpose.
UC ARTICULATION CONFERENCE
You’re the AnalystAs a group, review the excerpt in Sample #3 and record your group’s answers on the worksheet to the following question?
1. Where do you see the vocabulary of both disciplines?2. What makes the integration authentic?
UC ARTICULATION CONFERENCE
You’re the AnalystAs a group, review the excerpt in Sample #4 and record your group’s answers on the worksheet to the following question?
What would you suggest the submitter focus on to revise the course (vocabulary | rigor | authentic integration)?
UC ARTICULATION CONFERENCE
Revising for Success1. As a group, choose ONE of the three rough draft samples
to revise based on what you’ve learned today.
2. Make your revisions directly on the “Revising for Success” handout.
UC ARTICULATION CONFERENCE
Submission ChecklistThe course submission should:
Employ the vocabulary of both disciplines.
Clearly describe the CTE and "a-g" learning in the course.
Provide evidence of increasing complexity of assignments.
Identify what students produce to show evidence of learning.
