Faculty Credentials Qualifications, Orientation and Training (CONTINUED) Logistics and Deadlines with Initiating Transcripted Credit Agreements Transcripted agreements will be posted by the school district on the NWTC website: https://www.nwtc.edu/programs/k-12-offerings/high-school-credit-transfer. Final agreements and policy for the current academic year are sent to school districts in May with request for signature. This allows a true capture of courses offered and agreements in place for the year, eliminating any canceled courses due to low enrollment or other mitigating circumstances. This information remains on file with NWTC and the WTCS (Wisconsin Technical College System). Please visit this site to see any historical dual credit agreements: http://mywtcs.wtcsystem.edu/student-success/career-prep/dual-enrollment. Frequently Asked Questions NWTC Transcribed Credit 1. When does the Qualification Process take place for transcribed credit instructors? The qualification process takes place at the time you are considering teaching a transcribed credit course; preferably before the annual Spring Summit. To start qualification, go to our NWTC.edu webpage and search for Transcribed Credit. Click on Requirements for Teaching Transcribed Credit. Read and complete tasks required. Then complete the Qualification Application and send a copy of your unofficial graduate and undergraduate transcripts, as well as your DPI licensures to K12relations@nwtc. edu. You only need to do this one time initially, but we will need to qualify you for each course that you teach. Also if you have gained additional education/ credentials since your initial qualification, please forward this to [email protected]. 2. What other requirements are expected of a transcribed credit instructor? You are obligated to teach all NWTC competencies of the course and utilize the same grading criteria. Your attendance at the Spring Summit and work with the NWTC faculty mentor is mandatory. Some coursework will require additional training such as a course enrollment or summer Train the Trainer. NWTC mentors will review the syllabi requirement, curriculum, resources, and any other training expectations for you to duplicate the NWTC course at your high school. You will also need to utilize the same resources, including textbooks and lab assessment approval, to deliver the course competencies. Please review the Transcribed Credit Policy for more information. 10 3. What if my school runs on a semester, yearlong, trimester or block schedule? Does that change the enrollment process? Students enrollment information and class start and end dates must be submitted at least two weeks before the start of the class or sooner. This allows students and instructors to fully access and utilize NWTC resources such as Blackboard. We realize rosters may change throughout the process. Grades are expected to be submitted in the blackboard shell within 72 hours of class completion. 4. Why are start/end dates so important? We ask you to provide accurate start and end dates for your transcribed credit courses to assist us in keeping accurate records for grading purposes and and allow Blackboard access in a timely manner. NWTC will create one class per subject per instructor no matter how many sections or periods the instructor is teaching. In doing this, the instructor has one blackboard shell with all transcribed credit students within it. 5. What is the best way to send enrollment information? To whom should it be sent? Please submit your system generated transcribed credit student rosters to [email protected]. We no longer accept excel spreadsheet rosters and/or hand-written enrollments. The roster report must provide the students—legal name including middle initial, date of birth, full address, phone number, school email address, grade level, gender, class title, instructor’s full name, high school name, and ONLY eligible transcribed credit students.
