In response to Senate Bill 1440 (Padilla, 2010) - the CCC transfer degree - we are pleased to announce that the Transfer Model Curriculum (TMC) for Business is now available for faculty review on the C-ID website. The TMCs are intended to facilitate implementation of SB1440 (Padilla, 2010). The Business TMC was developed by teams 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 Business TMC no later than May 16, 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. The following method was used to develop the Business TMC: 

 

·         Discipline Input Groups (DIGs):  Business was one of the 10 disciplines that were convened in Spring 2011 as part of the DIG process. Faculty were convened in the North and South for the purpose of reviewing draft descriptors and drafting a Transfer Model Curriculum (TMC) which identifies the courses that would fit in the required associate degree major under SB 1440. The work of these groups was then reviewed and reconciled by the existing Faculty Discipline Review Group (FDRG).

 

How do you review the Business TMC?

Please go to the "TMC" tab at www.c-id.net in order to provide feedback (by May 16, 2011) on the TMC for Business.The direct link to the survey is http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/TMC_Business

 

How do you review the Business descriptors?

Draft C-ID course descriptors are also available for review in Business until May 16, 2011 - please go to http://c-id.net/descriptors.html to leave feedback on the Business descriptors.

 

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 in the future.

 

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.
