State Determined Performance MeasuresQuality Secondary indicators must include one of the following measuring % of graduating CTE concentrators:• Having Attained recognized postsecondary credential

– A recognized postsecondary credential measures the % of graduating CTE concentrators graduating from high school with PERKINS V uses the WIOA definition

• Having Attained postsecondary credits through a dual or concurrent enrollment program or another credit transfer agreement

• Having Participated in Work-based Learning (WBL)• Credential consisting of an industry-recognized certificate or

certification, a certificate of completion of an apprenticeship, a license recognized by the State involved or Federal Government, or an associate or baccalaureate degree.

• Considerations will need to be addressed to determine the industry certifications, occupational competency assessments, and professional licenses that meet the requirements of a recognized postsecondary credential.

Secondary Core Indicators of Performance for CTE Concentrators:

• Graduation Rate• Academic Proficiency

– English, Math, & Science• Post-program Placement

– CTE Student Completer Follow-up• Nontraditional concentration

– Individuals from gender comprising < 25% of those employed in the field

• Indicators of Quality – three options, and an “other” elective measure

Help is on the way!

SREB Career Pathway Review (CPR)Purpose of a Career Pathway Review:

o is to provide a snapshot of district and school practices and provide feedback on the health of Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs in the district.

o helps leaders and teachers prepare for the new Comprehensive Local Needs Assessment and identify changes needed to improve student achievement through blending high-level academic and quality career technical studies.

o the review report provides schools and districts with an external look at how CTE programs align with local, regional and state workforce needs, produce graduates prepared for postsecondary studies and work, have a value-added to academic achievement and engage students in authentic assignments in classrooms.

Unpacking: The Six Areas of the CLNA

Classic Key Practices – Short version

1. High Expectations — Create a culture of high expectations in every classroom and throughout the school.

2. Programs of Study — Ensure each student develops and completes a personalized program of study that leads to postsecondary and career success.

3. Integrated Curriculum — Teach academic content through the lens of real-world problems and projects.

4. Access and Equity — Ensure that all students, including underrepresented and nontraditional students, have access to high-quality career pathways.

5. Student Engagement — Use research-based instructional strategies and innovative technology practices to engage each student.

Classic Key Practices - Continued6. Teacher Collaboration — Provide teams of teachers with the

training, time and support they need to work together to improve instruction.

7. Work-based Learning — Provide each student with a continuum of real-world learning experiences that connect classroom and workplace learning.

8. Guidance and Advisement — Offer guidance and advisement that empowers students to pursue a full range of career and college options after high school.

9. Interventions and Enrichments — Provide students with extra help or accelerated learning strategies they need to graduate college and career ready.

10.Culture of Continuous Improvement — Engage the whole school community in continuously using data to identify problems and develop plans to solve them.

Final Thought

After doing this work for about 20 years we have realized:

Every school and every teacher wants to improve. However, few want to change. The fact remains

that to improve, one must change.

Perkins V is providing the opportunity for Change.
