Perkins IV Implementation Programs of Study One curriculum: Tech Prep programs Tech Prep curriculum open to any student Articulation through Assessment
Targeted Industries Advanced Energy/Environmental Technologies Aerospace/Aviation Agriculture/Food Processing Bioscience/ Bioproducts Corporate/Professional Services Distribution/Logistics Instruments/Controls/ Electronics Motor Vehicle/Parts Manufacturing Polymers/Advanced Materials
Going for More Tech Prep Higher level academics Graduating Non-Remedial Postsecondary
Data About –Graduation –Non-Remedial –Technical Skill Assessments/ Industry Credentials –College Credit –Postsecondary Enrollment/Employment –Non-Traditional Warehouse Compare! Compare! Compare!
INTEGRATION Embedded academic credit College credit for secondary coursework Highly qualified status to CTE teachers Integration of new academic standards
Competency-Based Credit Ohio’s Core –“Or Equivalent” –Integration Flexible credit (not who taught, where learned, but what learned
Entrepreneurship Threaded in 16 career clusters Pathway
Green “Greening” Threaded Green Endorsement
Hybridizing Clusters as Swiss cheese Career architects – building with cluster blocks
Courses versus Programs Discussion Only Facilitates Hybridizing Facilitates Statewide Articulation Danger of Random Elective Credit
Survival versus Opportunity ( Scarcity versus Abundance ) Elective credit, funding cutbacks, full schedules Graduation rates make us necessary Postsecondary enrollment makes us desired Business/industry responsiveness makes us essential
