CTE Coordinators Update KACTE Summer Conference 7.28.14 CTE Coordinators Update

KSDE CTE Team Purpose Support and empower schools in developing quality pathways that lead students to college and career readiness

Here’s what we’re facing…

Kansans with “Some Post-secondary” 52% Some Post-secondary = Credential through Advanced degree

Kansas Class of 2012 Percentage of 2012 Graduates enrolled in Post-secondary (2 & 4 yr. institutions) 76% Percentage of 2012 Graduates completing 1 year of post- secondary 49%

System for Education Enterprise in Kansas (SEEK) Authenticated Application containing building-level data related to student performance in post- secondary KSDE - Authenticated Applications

College and Career Ready in Kansas College and Career Ready means an individual has the academic preparation, cognitive preparation, technical skills, and employability skills to be successful in postsecondary education, in the attainment of an industry recognized certification or in the workforce, without the need for remediation.

IPS Webpage Individual Plans of Study

What is an IPS? Product - Multi-year educational plan based on career interests Process – Providing students access to career development It’s NOT just a graduation plan

What are the obstacles in moving students toward quadrant D, high rigor and high application? 1. Living in the Past – Always done that way 2. Scheduling 3. Licensure 4. Carnegie Units 5. Finances 6. Different levels of High Rigor per student 7. Lack of support to provide PD to teachers for the changes 8. Limited opportunities for work-based learning in community

What do we need to start doing to move students into Quadrant D? 1. Cause students to think critically 2. Integration/Team Teaching 3. Differentiated Teaching Strategies 4. Increased Relevance

What do we need to stop doing to move students into Quadrant D? Less Standards – Higher/Fewer/Clearer (Common Career Technical Core) No Competency Profiles

Which one of the following seven areas in CTE do you feel you need the most support and guidance from KSDE during 2014-2015? Integration Innovation Career Awareness and Guidance Strategic Planning Instructional Practice Partnerships Support and Recognition

Creating a Quality Pathway Improvement Plan

Pathway Assessment Rubric Developed in response to requests from schools for guidance with: Creating meaningful improvement plans Engaging advisory committee members

Pathway Assessment Rubric Voluntary Will not be shared with KSDE BEST PRACTICE – Teacher(s) of a Pathway complete the assessment along with Advisory Committee Contains four components of a quality Pathway (all four are part of a draft of the CTE Accreditation Model) Partnerships Physical Environment Instructional Practices Professional Development

IV. Instructional Strategies Component IV. Instructional Strategies A. Instruction is balanced between classroom & laboratory instruction, experiential learning, and leadership & personal development Missing or non-existent. Needs Improvement—One component of the classroom and laboratory instruction, experiential learning, and leadership and personal development dominate the curriculum, while others are minimally addressed or ignored. Improving—While one component of the curriculum is clearly dominating the instruction, there is a plan for bringing the deficient area(s) into balance with input from the advisory committee and state staff. Promising-Evidence exists that an attempt is made to balance the curriculum across all components utilizing input from the local advisory committee. Exemplary—A well-planned balance exists among all curriculum components. The balance is documented and is a result of collaboration with all stakeholders and state requirements. Indicator Stages

“Score” a Pathway Think of one Pathway Assess the Pathway in only ONE component Under each indicator, check boxes next to the stage that best fits the current status of the Pathway

Reflection Questions What indicators did you score at the exemplary stage? (These will need to be maintained to remain at this stage) Which indicators did you score at the improving or promising stage? (These are indicators of inclusion in your pathway improvement plan.) Which indicators did you score at the struggling or missing (non-existent) stage? (These are considered critical areas your pathway improvement plan should address.)

3 yr. Pathway Improvement Plan Template Use the results from the Pathway assessment rubric to develop SMART (specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, timely) goals for each component Very similar to the new template of the Pathway Improvement Plan in the Pathway application

If you feel the Pathway assessment rubric would be a valuable tool, please use it during your fall Advisory Committee Meeting More time and training will take place during the Fall CTE Drive-In Workshops

Have a fantastic start to the school year!
