29. Technical Skill Assessment Requirements 29

30. Technical Skill Assessment Initiative in Minnesota – Phase 1 (2009-14) Identify stakeholders to involve by pathway. Identify core competencies and skills by pathway and develop an assessment blueprint. Assemble an inventory of available third-party technical skill assessments that are valid & reliable and industry- recognized credentials. Involve business & industry reps in a process of validating the identified competencies and skills. Reconvene teachers and faculty to review business & industry input and recommend a list of assessments that will be the state-approved technical skill assessments for a pathway. Develop an assessment system focused on technical skill attainment within each of the 79 nationally-recognized career pathways 30

31. Technical Skill Assessment Initiative Outcome of Work (2009-14) Developed core competencies, blueprint, and identified TSAs in 60 career pathways. Over 600 teachers and faculty participated in the meetings from 2009 to 2014. Over 200 business/industry partners in the 60 pathways validated the work of the teacher/faculty groups. 31

32. Technical Skill Assessment Initiative Outcome (2009-14) Number of CTE programs assessing at secondary and postsecondary has continually increased. TSA initiative has been affirmed by other state initiatives – 1) common summative or formative assessments at secondary level; 2) often parallels other college initiatives (e.g. Higher Learning Commission requirements & Charting the Future goals) at postsecondary. 32

33. Technical Skill Assessment Initiative Phase II (2015-19) Beginning the process again – review/ revise pathways beginning with FY10 pathways in 2014-15 and beyond. 33
