Data: Now What? Work with Advisory Board Consult with administrator Work with core content teachers Implement strategies for improvement Develop program improvement goals Develop a budget to help achieve goals Consider recruiting strategies Increase rigor Rethink course offerings and content Use “strategies” to develop plan/goal

Annual Budget Requests Curriculum development approved if tied to Cluster committee work and with prior approval from Cluster Specialist Equipment and technology request based on standards All requests related to program improvement, student achievement, and accountability Amendments follow the same format as requests. Contact your Cluster Specialist Contact your consortium director for important information about budget approvals, and other general budget questions

Program Improvement Process Due Dec 1 Review and update goals (use SMART format) Goals based on 7 key areas of program improvement: 1. Student engagement 2. Rigorous coursework 3. Teachers work cooperatively 4. Program of Study 5. Teachers involved in career development 6. Equipment enhances student learning 7. Holistic program improvement planning

Program Visits New Program/New Teacher At Risk Programs (data/accountability) Recipients of state/federal funds Invitation from local CTE Program

Inventory Controls Accurate equipment records maintained by the local district or consortium Adequate internal controls to account for location and custody of equipment Regular physical inventory of equipment Equipment purchased with Perkins funds clearly marked in recipient’s inventory Perkins-purchased equipment marked with sticker, tag, or other unique identifier OCCTE no longer maintains equipment inventory

Local school inventory policy… What is the school district policy? Does the procedure separate Perkins-purchased items from other items? How are Perkins-purchased items tracked? Are the items tagged? Is the equipment located where it is suppose to be? What procedure is used to dispose of equipment? OCCTE needs to facilitate disposition of any equipment funded with Perkins $

What now? Analyze Perkins data PIP Progress report – December 1, 2011 Contact Cluster Specialist with new budget request ideas then your consortium director Approved program app – March 1, 2012 Data collection workshops/webinar – April 2012
