Agenda Overview of the Coalition and this Project Findings Considerations for Reauthorization A Discussion on the Blueprint, using an Equity Lens Resources

Project Recap The Taskforce reviewed: State accountability data for enrollment and completion in non-traditional CTE for 2007/08; 2008/09; 2009/10;  Data for 2009/10 are presented here Cluster/Concentrator Data for 2007/08; 2008/09; 2009/10;  Data for 2009/10 are presented here Non-traditional $$ Allocations ( data not presented ) The Taskforce did not review CAR state reports.

Most States Meet Nontraditional Targets Out of the 53 states/jurisdictions  47 states came within 90% of their targets under secondary participation;  45 did so in secondary completion;  48 did so in post-secondary participation; and  47 did so in post-secondary completion.  Does this surprise you?  Has that changed for your state in ?

Data Indicates Inconsistent Reporting Standards and Data Quality Wisconsin and Florida report extremely unlikely rates of over 90% Secondary Nontraditional Completion. Delaware reports that 95 percent of enrollees in the Post-Secondary “Transportation, Distribution and Logistics” cluster are female, yet the next ‘best’ state enrollment for women in this cluster, Maryland is only 15.2 percent women.
