Changes to Pathways :  
Issues Raised : The Early Childhood ATF and Family Consumer Sciences ATF met together, and the group expressed the following concerns.

[Regarding the Dual Enrollment (DE) Course notes] - The DE notes could be misleading and the ATF is not sure that the disclaimer is sufficient. They also expressed concerns that the teachers who are teaching dual enrollment courses are not certified. They wanted it reinforced that in order to teach community college courses, the teachers need to meet the community colleges hiring qualifications.

The group wanted their concerns noted regarding the Grand Canyon Diploma, These concerns included FERPA, minors/underage students, service learning courses, etc. How do institutions define college age students? They recommended statewide policy to help address underage students since this will impact all institutions.

Both ATFs recommended that the Arizona Transfer and Alignment System (ATAS) Org Chart be changed. Under Academic and Student Affairs, it looks hierarchical.

Also, the ATF voiced concerns regarding paying for parking to attend ATF Meetings. For future meetings, ATF members should consider parking arrangements before selecting a location.  
Curriculum Planning : The group discuss their AAS-BAS options and wanted to know how they can incorporate this information into the advising resources/tools on aztransfer.com. ATF Members plan to work on a proposal before their next meeting.
