Instructional Framework Update Jared Bates, PhD October 9 th, 2015

CareerTech Instructional Framework CTE Program and Course Offerings – Technology Center Secondary and Full-Time Adult Programs – Skills Centers Programs – Adult Career Development (ACD)/Short-term training – Business and Industry Clients (BIS) – Comprehensive School Programs

What is the Outcome? Employment Postsecondary education Certification Knowledge and Technical Skills High School Diploma

16 Career Clusters

Changes and Why Technology Centers/Skills Centers: When trying to summarize the data, we (the ODCTE) had to choose which career majors fell under a “group” – Example: How many welders do you produce? Pathway is Welding and Metal Fabrication Over 20 Career Majors associated with Welding The ODCTE is no longer going to approve courses – Technology Centers WILL need courses and hours for the courses

Technology Center Full-Time Programs Where We WereWhere We Are Going Career Clusters Career Pathways Career Majors Courses Career Clusters Career Pathways State Program Area Local Program (Career Major) Courses

Example Where We WereWhere We Are Going Cluster: Manufacturing Pathway: Welding and Metal Fabrication Career Majors: Beginning Metal Fabricator Metal Fabricator Industrial Fabrication Technology Metal Fabrication Technology 20 Welding Career Majors Cluster: Manufacturing Pathway: Welding and Metal Fabrication State Program Area: Metal Fabrication Local Programs: Beginning Metal Fabricator Metal Fabricator Industrial Fabrication Technology Metal Fabrication Technology

Technology Center Full-Time Programs Alignment to Occupations – Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) Machinists Electricians – Classification of Instructional Programs (CIP) Machine Tool Technology/Machinist Electrician – CIPs and SOCs Many are similar, however there are some differences Used for financial aid Oklahoma Top 100 Occupations identified by Oklahoma Dept. of Commerce

Technology Center Full-Time Programs Alignment to Ecosystems – We are NOT referring to a biological ecosystem – We are referring to an economic development systems

Technology Center Full-Time Programs – Alignment to Key Economic Development Ecosystems Oklahoma’s Key Industries identified by the Oklahoma Department of Commerce Key Economic Development Ecosystems – Aerospace and Defense – Energy – Agriculture and Biosciences – Information and Financial Services – Transportation and Distribution Complementary Ecosystems – Health and Bioscience – Construction – Education – Creative Industries

Technology Center Full-Time Programs Alignment to Certifications and Assessments – Over 800+certifications approved for all CTE programs Industry Required Endorsed (and endorsing entity) Industry Alignment Occupational Test Proctored Secure A-F Grades Prior Learning Assessment (PLA) Complete College America (CCA)

Technology Center Full-Time Programs Federal Requirements – Financial Aid – Distance Education (online) – Direct Assessment Local Program – Program Clock Hours – Courses Course Clock Hours (requirement for VA funding) CTE Academic – Algebra II – Trigonometry – Anatomy/Physiology

Technology Center Full-Time Programs How many state program areas in the full- time technology center programs? – 700+ career majors to 130 State Program Areas aligned to ~180 occupations

ACD/Short-term and BIS Training ACD/Short-term – Courses offered in the evening – Wide range- from cake decorating to welding BIS – Client-specific training – Industry-specific – Highest proportion is safety training Usually required by law for that industry

ACD/Short-term and BIS Training Conditions – ODCTE does not approve courses Technology Center may not create the course until the day before it is offered Technology Center may create a course that doesn’t make How this will work – Submit courses completed by students (after the fact) – Certifications students are eligible for after completion of a course Long-term Care Aid Welding Microsoft (Access, Excel, Word) Real Estate Social Media

Instructional Framework Structure Local Program – Will be “like” the career major – Will include courses with clock hours Career Majors have been aligned to State Program Areas

Next Steps We are in final stages of Phase I – Testing – Rollout to technology center
