Summary

Existing law establishes the segments of the public postsecondary education system in the state, including the University of California administered by the Regents of the University of California, the California State University administered by the Trustees of the California State University, and the California Community Colleges administered by the Board of Governors of the California Community Colleges. Existing law requires the board of governors, the regents, and the trustees to jointly develop, maintain, and disseminate a common core curriculum in general education courses for the purposes of student transfer and prescribes related requirements. These provisions are applicable to the University of California only to the extent that the regents, by appropriate resolution, make them applicable. This bill would require the Academic Senates of the California Community Colleges and the California State University, and request the Academic Senate of the University of California, to review the lower division 8 common core courses in child development or early education identified by the Early Childhood Curriculum Alignment Project in conjunction with early childhood faculty to improve early childhood educator program articulation, and in doing so, to consider and make findings on specified topics, which the chairs of the Academic Senates of the California Community Colleges and the California State University would be required, and the chair of the Academic Senate of the University of California would be requested, to report to the Legislature and the Legislative Analyst's Office, on or before December 1, 2011, along with other specified recommendations and suggestions. The bill would require the California State University, and request the University of California, to deem specified transferring community college students as having fulfilled lower division coursework requirements, and not require these students to take more total units in child development or early education to satisfy graduation requirements for the related majors than other enrolled students. The bill would remove this requirement and request upon the Academic Senates' completion of specified tasks. The bill would make the reporting requirement inoperative on January 1, 2015, and require the report to be submitted in compliance with specified law.
