POLICIES AND S Transcripted Credit Is Defined As (continued): • The instructor of record for the high school course must file an application with the NWTC Human Resources Office. A current copy of the DPI license(s) and all unofficial transcripts must also be provided with the application. No substitution of high school instructors will be allowed unless they are trained and approved on NWTC curriculum and meet teaching requirements (long term substitutes would also need to be trained and approved). • Enrollees in the high school transcripted credit course must have junior or senior status as certified by the high school registrar. A pilot list of courses offered to sophomore students are listed on the transcripted credit menu. Exceptions to this condition must be agreed upon by all parties in the articulation agreement. • Enrollees (students) in the high school course desiring transcripted credit must be enrolled in the course at NWTC at the same time, and will receive a grade based on the NWTC agreed-upon grading scale for that course. Enrollees will have the final grade posted on their own, official, NWTC transcript if they earn a grade of a “C” or higher. • Curricula sanctioned by NWTC as available for transcripted credit may not be offered through any delivery mode by one high school to another high school without prior permission from NWTC Executive Leadership Team designee. • NWTC reserves the right to assess high school instructor knowledge and skills through classroom observations (in person or recorded), sharing of mid-term grades, or other appropriate assessment means. This assessment is a means to ensure college rigor and student preparedness, providing recommendations for any additional training needs to equip the instructor to deliver a replication of NWTC curriculum. • NWTC faculty and staff will share syllabus, grading rubrics, instructional resources, and final test or assignments with high school instructors to allow for replication of curriculum/content in transcripted courses. These materials should be accessible through available centralized electronic locations and updated annually. NWTC continues to pilot the use of Blackboard with selected courses. Master Shells will be equipped with resources for high schools to provide consistent curriculum delivery. Along with resources, blackboard shells made available to the high school instructors will be used to document enrollee’s final grade. • Through curriculum sharing events, meetings, and other correspondence, NWTC faculty will provide mentoring and coaching to the high school instructor as needed. • NWTC retains the right to determine which courses will be transcripted. 26
