4. Free Powerpoint Templates Page 4 CTE / TEA Evaluation June 14, 2010 This evaluation was conducted by Education Service Center 6, for the Texas Education Agency. The study focused on the quality and effectiveness of career and technology education programs in Texas.. Major Findings: CTSOs are effective in developing student leadership skills. FFA was considered the most effective. Survey results indicated that administrators and teachers lack sufficient knowledge regarding Project Lead the Way and Special Projects Resource Center Programs. The number of teachers attending respective professional development conferences is dwindling each year. Non-CTE students outperformed CTE students on both the Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills (TAKS) and Higher Education Readiness Component (HERC), although the gap is decreasing over time in reading/ELA. Regression analysis showed that being enrolled in a CTE program was not associated with higher TAKS scores. The more structured the CTE course, the better the student scored on reading/ELA and HERC. Even in more structured CTE classes, CTE students lagged behind non-CTE students. CTE students who plan to go to college lagged behind non-CTE students who planned to go to college in meeting the HERC components in reading and math. CTE students were more likely to remain in school and graduate than non-CTE students. This was even more pronounced among students who enrolled in a more structured CTE program, such as Tech Prep.
