17. Career-Technical Education Technical Assessment Redesign

18. Highlights of Assessment Features All pathways will have a test. Pathway tests are comprised of end of course (EOC) exams. Any combination of EOC tests can be used to calculate a total test score. Seniors will have same FY13 tests available. 9-11 students should begin taking new end of course tests. Pretest development underway. Recognition for student achievement.

19. Support Transcripted Credit Transfer

20. Role of Industry Credentials To what extent are we… Chasing Credentials vs. Buying into industry credentials that have value to businesses in our communities? Industry credential attainment will be reported on Local District Report card and the CTE report card. --Criteria will be forthcoming. “Credentials are relevant to employers only to the extent that it leads to more productive employees.”
