Agenda Topics What is Perkins IV? Minnesota’s Five CTE Goals Consortium Structure and the role of the Consortium Coordinator Eligible Recipients of Perkins Accountability Requirements What are Programs of Study? Assessing Technical Skill Attainment under Perkins IV

Perkins IV: The Carl D. Perkins Career and Technical Education Act of 2006 (Public Law )  Calls for funding to be used to support continuous improvement in career and technical education (CTE) at secondary and postsecondary  Requires accountability for results and program improvement at all levels  Increased coordination within the CTE system and improved connection between secondary and postsecondary education  Stronger academic and technical integration  Links to business and industry

Minnesota’s Federally Approved CTE Goals A Framework for State and Local Planning Goal 1: Design & Implement Programs of Study Goal 2: Effectively Utilize Employer, Community, and Education Partnerships Goal 3: Improve Service to Special Populations Goal 4: Provide Continuum of Service Provisions for Enabling Student Transitions Goal 5: Sustain the Consortium of Secondary and Postsecondary Institutions

Minnesota’s Consortium Structure  In Minnesota, Perkins funds are distributed in separate secondary and postsecondary allocations to consortia that include at least one secondary district (or consortium) and at least one eligible postsecondary institution.  Each Perkins consortium submits a single joint local plan developed to benefit the consortium as a whole. This plan is reviewed and approved by staff from the Minnesota Department of Education and Minnesota State Colleges and Universities Office of the Chancellor.

Your role as a Consortium Leader…  Planning Convene consortium leadership to plan CTE efforts Develop and submit consortium Perkins application  Implementation – Establish and maintain process for implementing required and permissive activities across the consortium  Accountability and Reporting Ensure accountability data is being collected and reported at all schools/colleges in the consortium Prepare and submit annual report (APR) Negotiate performance levels for accountability indicators and submit any required improvement plans or reports  Professional Development -- Participate in meetings and training related to Perkins  Monitoring Visits

Who can access funds under Perkins IV? Funds can only be used: In approved CTE programs with appropriately licensed/credentialed CTE teachers/faculty For efforts identified in the approved local plan that align with MN Goals for CTE

Another source of funds for Secondary CTE: The MN CTE Levy The CTE Levy is a permissive levy that does not require a public vote. This levy is a set amount depending on the population of the enrollment district and is approved by the local school board. The Levy can only be used for approved CTE programs where there is an appropriately licensed CTE teacher.

Secondary and Postsecondary Accountability Indicators Data Collection and Reporting Negotiating State and Local Performance Levels

Secondary Perkins Accountability Indicators Secondary collects data electronically for the following indicators: 1S1 Academic Attainment Reading (MCA GRAD) 1S2 Academic Attainment Mathematics (MCA GRAD) 2S1 Technical Skill Attainment 3S1 Completion 4S1 NCLB Graduation 5S1 Placement and Retention 6S1 Participation of Nontraditional Students 6S2 Completion of Nontraditional Students

Postsecondary Perkins Accountability Indicators Postsecondary collects data primarily using the system-wide Integrated Student Record System (ISRS). Perkins data are stored in a data warehouse table accessed using Hyperion/BRIO. These are the postsecondary indicators: 1P1 Technical Skill Attainment 2P1 Credential, Certification, or Degree 3P1 Student Retention or Transfer 4P1 Student Placement 5P1 Nontraditional Participation 5P2 Nontraditional Completion

The focus is on new and innovative programs with career ready skills for all students in high wage, high demand, high skilled occupations.

Programs of Study Sets of aligned programs and curricula that begin at the high school level and continue through college and university certificate, diploma and degree programs. Competency based curricula tied to industry expectations and skill standards Sequential course offerings Flexible course and program formats Course portability for seamless progression Multiple entry and exit points to support continuing education, returning adults, and dislocated workers Connections between high school and postsecondary education, skill progression and career opportunities
