28. Creating a Quality Pathway Improvement Plan

29. Pathway Assessment Rubric
Developed in response to requests from schools for guidance with:
Creating meaningful improvement plans
Engaging advisory committee members

30. Pathway Assessment Rubric
Voluntary
Will not be shared with KSDE
BEST PRACTICE – Teacher(s) of a Pathway complete the assessment along with Advisory Committee
Contains four components of a quality Pathway (all four are part of a draft of the CTE Accreditation Model)
Partnerships
Physical Environment
Instructional Practices
Professional Development

31. IV. Instructional Strategies
Component
IV. Instructional Strategies
A. Instruction is balanced between classroom & laboratory instruction, experiential learning, and leadership & personal development
Missing or non-existent.
Needs Improvement—One component of the classroom and laboratory instruction, experiential learning, and leadership and personal development dominate the curriculum, while others are minimally addressed or ignored.
Improving—While one component of the curriculum is clearly dominating the instruction, there is a plan for bringing the deficient area(s) into balance with input from the advisory committee and state staff.
Promising-Evidence exists that an attempt is made to balance the curriculum across all components utilizing input from the local advisory committee.
Exemplary—A well-planned balance exists among all curriculum components. The balance is documented and is a result of collaboration with all stakeholders and state requirements.
Indicator
Stages

32. “Score” a Pathway Think of one Pathway
Assess the Pathway in only ONE component
Under each indicator, check boxes next to the stage that best fits the current status of the Pathway

33. Reflection Questions
What indicators did you score at the exemplary stage? (These will need to be maintained to remain at this stage)
Which indicators did you score at the improving or promising stage? (These are indicators of inclusion in your pathway improvement plan.)
Which indicators did you score at the struggling or missing (non-existent) stage? (These are considered critical areas your pathway improvement plan should address.)

34. 3 yr. Pathway Improvement Plan Template
Use the results from the Pathway assessment rubric to develop SMART (specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, timely) goals for each component
Very similar to the new template of the Pathway Improvement Plan in the Pathway application

35. If you feel the Pathway assessment rubric would be a valuable tool, please use it during your fall Advisory Committee Meeting
More time and training will take place during the Fall CTE Drive-In Workshops

36. Have a fantastic start to the school year!
