13
DRAFT The accountability provisions have more indicators, a greater degree of precision, and higher reporting requirements than under Perkins III. Under Perkins IV the accountability provisions include requiring: –The development of separate technical skill attainment measures as part of the overall accountability requirements. –Measuring of secondary CTE performance using the No Child Left Behind accountability measures. –Post-Secondary CTE success measure has been expanded beyond just graduation to include retention and transfer – The negotiation between the each local consortia and the state on all accountability indicator targets and performance. Minnesota’s new Direction for CTE What is New for Minnesota State CTE Plan Under Perkins IV
14
DRAFT While ensuring the continued provision of programs and services to special populations, which has been the hallmark of the Perkins legislation, both at the state and local levels, consortia must address through their local plan: –The targeting of under-served and special populations, by advocating the use of the same strategies and measurement outcomes that apply to all other student populations, and, –Preparing non-traditional students for high-skill, high-wage, or high-demand employment in the region. Minnesota’s new Direction for CTE What is New for Minnesota State CTE Plan Under Perkins IV
15
DRAFT Policy Implications Resulting from Implementing the Minnesota Five-Year State Career and Technical Education Plan Redirect how Minnesota designs its CTE programs to support programs of study/career pathways implementation. Establish a differentiated system of accountability for all CTE programs that distinguishes between technical skill proficiency and conventional graduation outcomes, significantly affecting how learner outcomes are assessed in high school and college CTE programs.
16
DRAFT Strengthen secondary and postsecondary collaboration by requiring high schools and colleges to expend Perkins funds as a consortium of high schools and colleges who together will meet the intent of the Perkins Law through a single joint local plan. Determine the process for allocating Perkins funds to high schools and colleges based on a rationale agreed to by the Chancellor of the Minnesota State Colleges and Universities and the Commissioner of the Minnesota Department of Education. Policy Implications Resulting from Implementing the Minnesota Five-Year State Career and Technical Education Plan
17
DRAFT Explore coordinated data systems that allow for a wider array of accountability measures as students move directly from high school to college, in and out of education, and transition between education and employment. Require that dual enrollment and articulation strategies be addressed as consortia are implementing programs of study/career pathways. Policy Implications Resulting from Implementing the Minnesota Five-Year State Career and Technical Education Plan
18
DRAFT Support the goal of improving college readiness by identifying the high school academic and CTE courses that are preparatory to college programs as an integral part of implementing programs of study/career pathways. Target Perkins funds to complement state and other federal programs that focus primarily on student support services to the underserved student, including those classified as special populations. Policy Implications Resulting from Implementing the Minnesota Five-Year State Career and Technical Education Plan
19
DRAFT Minnesota’s New Direction for CTE Looking Towards Implementation When put into practice, the Minnesota Five-Year State CTE Plan will make one thing clear, CTE in Minnesota will reinforce what was already begun under the last State Plan: The expectation of developing efficient systems, policies, processes and procedures that increasingly intertwine learning with work; and, where increasing achievement, greater opportunities, and varied options are not just choices but are objectively- determined outcomes that will first and foremost benefit all students
