The content-enhanced high school courses listed in the
following ATC Course Crosswalk have been found to be substantially equal to the
introductory-level college courses indicated.
Statewide teams of secondary and postsecondary subject area faculty
compared the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) for each high school
course with the course descriptions, syllabi, and expectations of courses found
in the postsecondary Workforce Education Course Manual (WECM on).[1][1]
These courses are most often used in technical certificate and degree
programs at public community and technical colleges, including Tech Prep
programs.
Although the primary purpose of the ATC Course
Crosswalk is to provide guidance to colleges in the award of technical
(workforce education) college credit for ATC statewide-articulated high school
courses, under specific circumstances colleges may elect to award
academic transfer credit from the postsecondary Academic Course Guide Manual
(AGCM) for selected courses.

All ATC statewide-articulated
courses. |
Beginning school year 2002-2003, public schools
electing to offer ATC statewide-articulated courses must use the new
Career and Technology – TP PEIMS course numbers and abbreviations listed
in PEIMS code table C022 (updated March 2006).
When school districts use these course numbers, they
must be able to verify that:
1.
Course content
is enhanced beyond the required TEKS with standardized college course
competencies (linked to the on-line ATC course crosswalk; effective 8-15-04);
2.
Teachers have
met required faculty qualifications and have completed TEA-required ATC staff
development for each course taught; and
3.
Innovative ATC
courses have received required prior approval from TEA.
All ATC statewide-articulated
courses also should be noted with the “A” special explanation course code on
high school transcripts.
