Materials for coding and aligning Basic Skills sequential cources.
This website archives the curricular work done by hundreds of California Community College faculty in the basic skills disciplines of reading, writing, math and ESL. Faculty experts defined the outcomes and levels of curricular work through the basic skills pathways leading to transfer level English or math. The credit rubrics, adopted by all 110 colleges in spring 2009, provide a matrix for comparing courses across the system and reporting student progress through basic skills. The rubrics are not comprehensive standards nor grading rubrics, but rather outcomes that should be evident at each level described that have been universally defined by community college experts based upon research and nation-wide scans. The noncredit rubrics are defined so as to align with credit outcomes at each level, even though some noncredit courses do not address levels one or two below transfer. Noncredit rubrics and outcomes will be revisited in spring 2010 . This work will benefit our entire system for mandated reporting, our individual institutions as we examine interventions for improving student progress, and our students as they have clearly defined expectations for success to reach college level skills.
