Where We’ve Been October 2014 Board of Regents proposed 4+1 model  The new regulations are to be posted on November 5 th  45 Day comment period begins  NYSACTE submits comments to the Board and SED What is the 4+1 model?  In addition to four Regents exams the model creates pathways assessments in Humanities, STEM, LOTE, CTE and the Arts, and would require a fifth assessment for graduation. 12

Where We’ve Been NYSACTE observations of 4+1:  Recognition and validation of CTE as a program of instruction that delivers an equally rigorous pathway to HS graduation  Continues to focus on the test -- the test continues to be the controlling element  Does not alter the existing system of coursework requirements for graduation  Does nothing to provide students with additional flexibility  Fails to ensure career readiness as a foundation to all pathways students in a clear and comprehensive manner 13

Where We’ve Been NYSACTE submits comments on 4+1 model  Comments included our observations  Recommendations  15/7 – foundation/electives  School Report Cards  Work-based learning experience  Recertification process for each pathway similar to CTE  Review all current assessments approved by SED  STEM pathway should include technology and engineering  Define pathways early in the career exploration process 14

Where We’re Going Enhance communications with/by NYSACTE members  Direct communication between advocate and members  More effective use of NYSACTE website  Develop teams of regional CTE advocates to engage local Regents, legislators and business partners 27

Playing Your Part Why Advocate?  NYSACTE leadership has made the decision to become more involved in the public policy discussion in Albany  Decision makers need to hear from practitioners  Effective advocacy helps decision makers understand what matters in education generally and CTE specifically  If you don’t make the case for CTE, who will? 28

Playing Your Part Different Forms of Advocacy  In person meetings or on-site visits to your school  Letter writing campaigns  Media/Public Relations campaigns  On-line petitions   No faxing! 29

Playing Your Part Issues, Goals and Objectives  Defining the advocacy issue - a problem or situation that a group seeks to rectify  Define and make College and Career Readiness a reality  Determine advocacy goals – long term result  Recognize and validate CTE as a program of instruction that delivers an equally rigorous pathway to HS graduation  Determine advocacy objectives – short term targets  Adoption of 4+1 model 30

Playing Your Part Advocacy Networks (Coalitions/Partnerships)  We can’t go it alone  Networks are universal – we all belong to them  Networks can be small- and large-scale  Networks are invaluable – allows for shared ownership of common goals 31

Playing Your Part Target Audiences: Identifying support and opposition  Primary target audiences – those that make decisions  Secondary target audiences – those that can influence the decision makers  Determine levels of support or opposition and understand why 32

Playing Your Part Messaging: Tailored to your target audience  Know your target audience  Deliver a clear, concise, and consistent message tailored to that audience  Personal relationships  Personal story – teachers and students  What is the ask? What specific action do you want them to take? 33

Playing Your Part Implementation: Developing an Action Plan  Determine specific activities for implementation  What resources are available  Who is responsible for what  What are the appropriate timeframes for each activity 34

Playing Your Part What We Need From You  Get involved on the state or local level  The more advocates we have the better  Take ownership  Our students need us to advocate on their behalf 35
