Career-Technical Education Let’s Talk About VoCATS& Cognitive Levels

The NC Instructional Management System for Career-Technical Education Blueprint & Outline Curriculum Product Classroom Assessment Accountability Assessment ALL PARTS MUST BE ALIGNED ALL COURSES NEED ALL PARTS

Keys for Student Improvement High expectations for all Alignment among:  Instruction  Assessment  Curriculum

What does alignment of curriculum mean?

BLUEPRINT Basic structure of course Cognitive level of objectives Percentage of course per objective (converts to time) Aligned to course outline and assessments

Let’s Look at the Details of a Blueprint

Competencies = major ideas within units Percentages = class time & number of questions on post-assessment

How are percentages converted to class hours? # of class hours 100% = class hours per 1%

Example 180 class hours 100% = 1.8 hours = 1 % of course 3 % x 1.8 hours = % x 1.8 hours = 5.4 class hours = 3% then If an objective = 3% then

Objectives = more details about competency Cognitive levels = how and what to teach
