Alignment Process

In project year two, 2007-2008, the Cap Executive Committee and the Technical Assistance Leads developed the course alignment process and procedures.

In February 2008 all colleges were mailed the 2007-2008 CAP Recommendation and a Statement of Intent (PDF) to complete and return to CDTC when the department has decided to participate in alignment. Essential to the success and completion of the alignment process are the Regional Technical Assistance Leads. They will make contact with participating colleges, record progress, troubleshoot as requested and collect samples to enrich the project’s online resource files.

Key to preparing the submission documents is the Alignment Toolkit offering worksheets for faculty to record their course components prior to submission. See a Sample Alignment Tool (PDF) for an example. A collection of Frequently Asked Questions is posted for your convenience and will be revised as the alignment process continues over the next two years or so.
