HYPERLINK "https://www.league.org/publication/connections/2006/connections_0607.cfm#WIDS"Health Care Program Alignment in
Wisconsin Technical Colleges
A collaborative curriculum alignment initiative that began in 2001 has engaged hundreds of instructors and deans among Wisconsin’s 16 technical colleges in face-to-face curriculum development and improvement discussions. The result? Nineteen newly aligned health care programs simplify life for students and faculty alike. The collaborative alignment process has resulted in improved health care programs while preserving academic freedom. Now students enrolled in a health care program at one technical college are taking the same courses, and achieving the same skills, as students enrolled in the same program at any of the 15 other technical colleges.
