Dear Early Childhood Education Faculty,
Please forward this message on to all interested parties.
In response to Senate Bill 1440 (Padilla, 2010) - the CCC transfer degree - we are pleased to announce that Transfer Model Curriculum (TMC) for Early Childhood Education is now available for faculty review on the C-ID website. The TMC are intended to facilitate implementation of SB1440 (Padilla, 2010).
The Early Childhood Education TMC was developed by a team of intersegmental discipline faculty and is presently in draft form. Given the aggressive deadline created by the Legislature (Fall 2011), we ask that faculty provide input on the Early Childhood Education TMC no later than April 11, 2011. Once finalized, California community colleges may choose to adopt the TMC (developing a degree that aligns with the proposed curriculum) and, as a consequence, benefit from a fast-tracked process through the CCC Chancellor's Office (see http://www.cccco.edu/1440 for details). For more information about the development of the TMC and the role of C-ID, please see below.
How was the TMC developed?
C-ID is providing the forum and infrastructure for the intersegmental dialog and vetting that is necessary to inform the TMC development. To learn more about how the descriptors and the TMC for Early Childhood Education were developed please review the summary report found on the C-ID website at http://www.c-id.net/docs/ECE%20-%20Summary.doc.
How do you review the Early Childhood Education TMC?
Please go to the "TMC" tab at www.c-id.net in order to provide feedback (by April 11, 2011) on the TMC for Early Childhood Education. The direct link to the survey is

How do you review the draft descriptors?
To review the draft Early Childhood Education descriptors, please go to the C-ID descriptor review area at http://www.c-id.net/login.html?p=forum.html
How do I hear more about the TMC and other information about my discipline?
Faculty and other interested staff are encouraged to sign up for the discipline listservs to receive relevant communications. To sign up, please go to http://www.c-id.net/listserv.html. Please note that listservs have been created for those disciplines that are currently active in C-ID. More listservs will be created as more disciplines are added. If you don't see your discipline, we encourage you to visit the website often as more disciplines will be added for spring.
Your participation and support are most appreciated as we seek to meet the aggressive timeline of SB 1440 in an effective and efficient manner.
Please send general questions to info@C-ID.net.
Thank you for your participation.
