This webinar focused on connecting the dots while developing FPCTP curriculum. Students enrolled in FPCTPs earn specific credentials by succeeding in a defined program of study through which they develop the competencies associated with employment aligned with their career goals. Dr. Viki Kelchner, Assistant Professor and Internship Field Placement Coordinator at UCF College of Community Innovation and Education discussed how an important aspect of student success is defining and measuring the expected student learning outcomes embedded in the program of study so that students are on track to successfully complete the program. All students must demonstrate Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) to receive financial aid, including the FPCTP Scholarship. Aligning expected student learning outcomes, SAP standards, and programs of study that result in meaningful employment-related credentials are fundamental steps in providing a successful FPCTP.
