Customizing this template Purpose and use These templates were created as a response to people who want something they can customize quickly and easily. We created one template per Perkins consortium with similar layouts to create consistency in messaging and branding when communicating about the Carl D. Perkins federal grant and career and technical education. Using these templates are optional. Map icon The map icon on the next slide is meant to represent the regional location of your Perkins consortium members (colleges and high schools). Add your consortium members We prepopulated this template with your member consortium list pulled from your FY18 Perkins Plan. Be sure to check this list to ensure the correct names are listed. If not, make sure to correct them. Add a statement or a quote in the blue box You can add a quote that reflects CTE in your consortium, a student quote, or a mission statement. Be purposeful and consider your audience when completing this section. Add highlights, goals, accomplishments, etc. Some suggestions you can add are: consortium highlights, accomplishments, consortium goals for the year, strategic plan, or insert graphics and data to represent CTE in your consortium. You can split it by college on one side and high school on the other. Add contact information in the footer Add contact information for the primary contacts responsible for the administration of the Carl D. Perkins federal grant.
