Participate in the ASL Consortium. To participate in the articulation agreement, each high school will need to be a contributing member of the ASL Consortium. Participating high schools will contribute matching funds to support the consortium activities. The purpose of the consortium is to ensure a healthy, efficient, and beneficial articulation agreement. The consortium will provide for the needs of ASL programs at the community college and the high schools including: • A part-time coordinator to supervise and plan consortium activities. • A Continuing Education Department contact to support the integration of partnerships between high schools and the college. • Professional development activities to improve or maintain the instructional quality of the programs. The goal being to have every ASL instructor at every participating high-school be approved by either an approved high school representative or Seattle-Central College ASL Articulation Coordinator, to evaluate their students for college credit. • A centralized advisory board if needed for vocational programs who find it difficult to maintain a viable board with active members. • An articulation review committee to keep communication open between Seattle Central College and the high schools. The committee will meet twice a year to review, adjust and maintain the articulation agreement (competencies, faculty orientation, skills assessment procedures, publicity, etc.). • Website, forms, and materials to advertise the agreement to parents and students, to apply for Seattle Central credit, to assist the faculty with student evaluations, etc.
