The
Intersegmental Coordinating Committee (ICC) is the
programmatic arm of the Round Table. Composed of staff, faculty, and student
representatives from all sectors of education, the ICC has responsibility for
fostering collaboration within California's educational community at all levels
through conducting activities and supporting strategies that link the public
schools, community colleges, and baccalaureate-granting colleges and
universities.
Issues being addressed include recommending standards
for high school graduation in English and Mathematics, the transition from high
school to college, preparation of students for college, teacher recruitment and
professional development, collaborative applications of information technology,
and community college transfer.

There are five working subcommittees and task groups
which ICC oversees to carry out Round Table priorities. Below is a description
for each of the five committees. To view a list of current committee members,

In addition to these specific projects, this Committee
is situated to be a communications hub for discussions about the ways in which
the educational sectors in the state can collaborate in developing technology
applications that facilitate student learning and transition across educational
levels.
Intersegmental
Budget Proposal Committee
The Intersegmental Budget Proposal Committee seeks to
identify and prepare, when appropriate, budget proposals that require
collaboration to achieve stated goals and objectives for consideration by the
Governor and Legislature. These proposals often emerge from recommendations
from the substantive ICC committees and reflect issues that are significant to
two or more educational sectors. This Committee recommends projects or
activities to the Round Table for their support and, when that support is
forthcoming, develops these ideas into budget change proposals that are
submitted through the State administrative process for inclusion in the State
Budget. Among the proposals that have been developed by this Committee are
Student Friendly Services, the Academic Improvement and Achievement Act, and
the K-6 Academic Tutoring Program. It is also within the purview of this
Committee to identify and discuss issues of great concern or interest to the
segments whether or not a budget proposal is forthcoming in the near future.
Student Learning
Committee: Connecting Curriculum, Articulation, Assessment, and Teaching to
Student Achievement (formerly K-18 Curricular Issues Committee)
The K-18 Curricular Issues Committee seeks to develop
projects and activities that will enhance the teaching-and-learning experience
for students from kindergarten through college graduation. In the past, this
Committee has concentrated on developing high school graduation standards in
English/Language Arts and Mathematics based upon the efforts of a task force
composed of faculty from the public schools and higher education. The two
primary issues currently focusing the efforts of this Committee are:
-
Ways to assure teachers better prepare ALL of their
students to be successful in college and to reduce the need for remediation
through a better understanding of the relationship between standards,
assessments and college admission; and,
-
Propose intersegmental strategies designed to
increase the number of math and science teachers and enhance their preparation.
