The matrix templates for course alignment reflect the educator competencies, which describe what an educator should know and be able to do in a particular licensure area.  These matrices may be used when submitting revisions or new program proposals.

Complete the curriculum matrix by inserting course prefixes and numbers in the top horizontal row.  Next, add a checkmark in the vertical row that corresponds with the competency the course is covering.  See an example (XLXS).
