Editor's Notes

  • #4 Our accomplishments in the last year fall into 4 categories.
  • #5 We have created articulation agreements on two levels: secondary to postsecondary and Associate to Bachelor. Indiana is unique in that it has two community college systems: Vincennes University and Ivy Tech. Ivy Tech is primarily focused on vocational technical programs with some academic transfer programs whereas Vincennes University has its roots in academic transfer programs but has developed vocational technical programs in the last 30-40 years.
  • #6 The bulk of the work supported by this grant falls under curriculum development. This includes programs of study, alignment with professional certifications, development of instructional modules at the secondary level, enrichment activities for middle and high schools, and project-based learning.
  • #7 Indiana has the secondary components of plans of study on its website so I submitted drafts of the postsecondary components of these programs of study to the Indiana Department of Education for these programs of study.
  • #8 The first challenge in writing up the postsecondary components was deciding which community colleges and universities to use because they had a variety of approaches to supply chain and logistics.
  • #9 The second challenge was that 4 year degree programs in this area tend to be much more quantitative than 2 year degree programs and the same course titles may not really be equivalent. For this reason, I broke the post-secondary components into associate and bachelor levels. The articulation agreements reflect this in that they are written so that students planning to transfer must substitute higher level math classes. The third challenge was that the classifications did not fit the postsecondary education well. Several of these essentially had the same postsecondary components but for other programs of study broke into two or more components. Indiana really needs to rethink the career cluster categories. The final challenge is that if you get on the Indiana Department of Education website, you will not find the postsecondary components. The reason for this is that the state of Indiana drastically downsized state government as a result of the recession and laid off lots of people from the department of education. Those who are left have not had time to get this sorted out and up on the website.
  • #10 The second challenge was that 4 year degree programs in this area tend to be much more quantitative than 2 year degree programs and the same course titles may not really be equivalent. For this reason, I broke the post-secondary components into associate and bachelor levels. The articulation agreements reflect this in that they are written so that students planning to transfer must substitute higher level math classes. The third challenge was that the classifications did not fit the postsecondary education well.

Those who are left have not had time to get this sorted out and up on the website.
  • #11 See http://www.ivytech.edu/transportation-distrib-logisitics-institute/CLT.pdf
  • #47 Because of downsizing of state government, the process has changed and the program of study part has been folded into the IACTED Model Curriculum Project. Supply Chain and Logistics will be among the first pathway to go through this process.
  • #48 Because of this grant, we are farther along with supply chain and logistics than most of the other pathways and it will probably become the model for the new process.
  • #50 Note that this is a 3-tiered approach with Ivy Tech dual credit focused on students who go directly into workforce with high school diploma, VU focused on first line supervisors, and UIndy focused on upwardly mobile executives.
