  2. Timeline • August 2006 – Perkins IV • April 16, 2007 – Transition plan submitted • July 1, 2007 – Transition plan approved • July 1, 2007 – June 30, 2008: Transition year • April 1, 2008 –State Plan submitted • July 1, 2008 State Plan approved • July 1, 2008 – June 30, 2013: Perkins State Plan

  3. Perkins IV – Overview • It is authorized 6 years (till FY 2012) not 5 like before • Significant changes in context and focus: • “career and technical education” instead of “vocational education” • Stronger accountability system for improvement and results • Coordination within CTE system • Stronger academic and technical integration • Connections between secondary and postsecondary education • Links with business and industry

  4. Perkins IV – Definitions “Career and Technical Education”: • Sequence of courses • Challenging academic standards and relevant technical knowledge and skills • Leading to and industry-recognized credential, a certificate, or an associate degree • May include prerequisite courses (other than remedial courses)

  5. Perkins IV – Definitions “Postsecondary education Tech-Prep student”: • A student who completed the secondary education component of a Tech-Prep program and • A student who has enrolled in the post secondary education component of a Tech Prep program in an HE institution

  6. Perkins IV – Definitions “Nontraditional fields”: • Occupations or fields of work for which individuals from one gender comprise less than 25 percent of the individuals employed in each such occupation or field of work “Postsecondary institution”: • Institution of higher education that provides not less than a 2-year program of instruction that is acceptable for credit toward a bachelor’s degree • Nonprofit educational institution offering certificate or apprenticeship programs at postsecondary levels

  7. Perkins IV – Definitions “Special population”: • Individuals with disabilities • Economically disadvantaged • Individuals preparing for non-traditional fields • Single parents, including single pregnant women • Displaced homemakers • Individuals with limited English proficiency • Academically disadvantaged were removed from the list

  8. Connections between Secondary and Postsecondary Education • Requires development of “programs of study” that must: • Incorporate secondary education and postsecondary elements • Include academic and career and technical content in a coordinated, nonduplicative progression of courses • Lead to industry-recognized credential or certificate at the postsecondary level, or an associate or bachelor’s degree

  9. Links to Business and Industry • Supporting partnerships between secondary schools, postsecondary institutions, baccalaureate degree granting institutions, area career and technical education schools, local workforce investment boards, business and industry • Focus on: • “high demand” – growth higher than average for all occupations in 2002-2012 projections; for Texas: 17.6% • “high skill” • “high wage” – exceed median annual earnings $26,853

  10. AccountabilityPerformance Indicators • 1P1: Technical skills attainment • 2P1: Credential, certificate, or degree • 3P1: Student retention and transfer • 4P1: Student placement • 5P1: Nontraditional participation and completion None of the indicators are required to be reported in the transition year

  11. AccountabilityLevel of Performance • The state needs to identify levels of performance for each indicator • Level of performance should be expressed in percentage or numerical form, quantifiable and measurable • Local accountability of eligible recipients is required in addition to state-level accountability NEW

  12. AccountabilityReporting • Annual report to the Secretary regarding the progress in meeting the agreed level of performance • Data will be disaggregated by categories of students • Local programs are required to submit annual reports, the same as the state NEW • The annual report should be made publicly available in a variety of formats

  13. AccountabilityImprovement and Sanctions • If local program or states fail to meet at least 90% of an agreed upon target for any of the performance indicators – improvement plan • If no improvement is made or the program fails to meet at least 90% of the agreed upon target for three consecutive years - a portion of state’s administrative and leadership funds will be withheld • The state may withhold local recipient’s funding using the same criteria

  14. Tech Prep AccountabilityNEW • The number of postsecondary students served • The number and percent of postsecondary education students who • Are placed in related fields of employment not later than 12 months after graduation • Complete a state or industry-recognized certification and licensure • Complete a 2-year degree or certificate program within normal time of completion • Complete a baccalaureate degree program within normal time of completion

  15. Performance IndicatorsConcentrator • A postsecondary student who: • Completes at least 12 academic or CTE credits within a single program area sequence that is comprised of 12 or more academic and technical credits and terminates in the award of an industry-recognized credential, a certificate, or a degree OR • Completes a short-term CTE program sequence of less than 12 credit units that terminates in an industry-recognized credential, a certificate, or a degree

  16. Performance IndicatorsDefinitions • With the exception of 2P1 indicator, all the definitions are not finalized • Nonregulatory guidance is expected from Secretary of Education • DO NOT CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING DEFINITIONS AS THE FINAL ONES THAT WE ARE GOING TO USE FOR ACCOUNTABILITY

  17. Performance Indicators1P1: Technical Skills Attainment • IN WORK

  18. Performance Indicators2P1: Credential, Certificate, Degree (exit cohort) • Numerator: number of exiting CTE concentrators who receive or were eligible to receive an industry – recognized credential, certificate, or degree • Denominator: Number of CTE concentrators who exit the reporting postsecondary education institution at any time, for any reason during the reporting period. The recommendation was to look backwards for 5 years of data

  19. Performance Indicators2P1: Credential, Certificate, Degree (entry cohort) • Numerator: number of CTE concentrators identified in the entry cohort who receive or were eligible to receive an industry – recognized credential, certificate, or degree at any point between they were identified as concentrators and the current reporting period • Denominator: Number of CTE concentrators in the identified entry cohort

  20. Performance Indicators3P1: Retention and Transfer (exit cohort) • Numerator: number of exiting CTE concentrators who (1) remain enrolled in their original institution, (2) transfer to another 2-year postsecondary institution, or (3) transfer to a baccalaureate degree program • Denominator: Number of CTE concentrators who exit the reporting postsecondary education institution at any time, for any reason during the reporting period.

  22.

  23. Performance Indicators4P2: Employment Retention • Numerator: number of CTE completers who were (1) identified as employed in the numerator of measure 4P1 and who were (2) identified as employed at any point in the 4th quarter following the fiscal year in which they exited postsecondary education • Denominator: Number of CTE completers identified in numerator of measure 4P1 Fiscal year: July 1 to June 30

  24. Performance Indicators5P1: Nontraditional Participation • Numerator: number of concentrators from underrepresented gender groups who, in the reporting period, were enrolled in a CTE course that is part of a program identified as preparing individuals for employment in a nontraditional occupation or field of work • Denominator: Total number of concentrators – male and female – who, in the reporting period, were enrolled in a CTE course that is part of a program identified as preparing individuals for employment in a nontraditional occupation or field of work

  25. Performance Indicators5P2: Nontraditional Completion • Numerator: number of concentrators from underrepresented gender groups who received or were eligible to receive an industry – recognized credential, certificate, or degree in a CTE program identified by OVAE as preparing students for employment in a nontraditional occupation or field of work • Denominator: Total number of concentrators – male and female – who received or were eligible to receive an industry – recognized credential, certificate, or degree in a CTE program identified by OVAE as preparing students for employment in an occupation identified as out-of-gender balance
