State-approved Programs of Study – Signature programs for a consortium. consortium should identify at least seven programs for state approval. Rigorous Programs of Study – Ten elements take the POS to the highest standard. Each consortium focused on one Program of Study to meet the RPOS standard in 2013-2014 & beyond.

24. Review existing Rigorous Program of Study (POS) on MnProgramsofstudy.org and in your FY15 plan: Is your Rigorous Program of Study relevant?

If possible, begin to align any of the 6 state- approved POS to these components. * Reviewed and approved by state CTE staff during Perkins monitoring visits. Your Role As Consortium Leader – To Do’s – Rigorous Program of Study

25. Review existing state-approved Programs of Study on MnProgramsofstudy.org and in your FY15 plan: Are your 6 State-Approved Programs of Study still relevant to high schools and colleges? Have you implemented Technical Skill Assessments in at least one high school and one college program in your consortium? * Reviewed and approved by state CTE staff during Perkins monitoring visits. **Refer to “MDE/MnSCU Position on Implementation of Technical Skill Assessments” Your Role As Consortium Leader – To Do’s – State-Approved Programs of Study

30. Technical Skill Assessments Professional Learning Communities & Common Assessments Set aside time for professional development to review outcomes, learning targets, & sample assessments and choose the assessment Ease teachers’ fears Simplify it! Make the procedure for the teachers to be the least amount of work (ordering the assessments, putting in the data, etc.)

31. Technical Skill Assessments Prepare the Students Ahead of Time Talk to the students prior to assessment – show the students the blueprints!! Make the results matter – report results on transcripts, print off certificates, talk about college credit options, etc.

32. Technical Skill Assessments What Do I Do with the Results? Use Professional Learning Communities Was it the best assessment? Timing in the semester/trimester? Analyze the results Do we teach every area? Compare with district, state, nation What do the cut scores mean?

33. Next Steps - Discussion Think about your own local progress in implementing effective Programs of Study Strengths? Needs for improvement? How can the your state or local CTE leaders assist you in your work on this initiative?
