520 |a Springfield Technical Community College was the first college in Western Massachusetts to establish formal 2 + 2 articulation agreements with area high schools. As of September 1994, the college had signed a total of 65 individual agreements with 19 schools relating to 18 different associate degree programs. There are many benefits of curriculum articulation but most importantly it produces more graduates, with higher-level skills, and clearer goals. The first phase of articulation includes exploration of possibilities with secondary schools, exchange of visits between institutions, the development of recommended terms for an articulation, approval and formal signing of the agreement. The second phase includes program promotion, student application for credit, and periodic agreement review. A typical articulation specifies: (1) specific courses articulated and total number of credits awarded; (2) a competency level for the awarding of credit; (3) complementary course work that might be required; (4) recommended courses for optimal preparation; (5) each institution's commitment to some variety of promotional activity; (6) encouragement of students to take College English/Math Placement tests in the spring of senior year; (7) an agreement to meet annually to review, refine, or expand the agreement; and (8) recommendations reflecting particular interests or priorities in given fields (e.g., invitations to various departmental or campus activities). Appendixes include sample articulation agreements. (KP)
