1. Standards, Courses & CTE Testing : OCTA Isaac Kershaw, October, 2014

2. Implementation Challenges Program Renewal ≠ Courses Required ≠ CTE Testing Required

3. When are Pathway Programs Required to Renew? Every 5 Years 16 career fields spread across time. Schedule based on time to apply, time to approve, renewal cycle and professional development opportunities. Scenario 1: Renewal before courses are required. Scenario 2: Renewal same year courses are required. Scenario 3: Renewal year after courses are required.***

4. Development and Implementation Schedule

5. When Are Courses Required? 2 years after being available For Example: Engineering Pathway Courses: Available Fall 2013 (FY14). Required Fall 2015 (FY16) Arts and Communications Pathway Courses: Available Fall 2014 (FY15). Required Fall 2016 (FY17)

6. Development and Implementation Schedule

9. Standards & Courses Under Development This Year Hospitality - MBA Research (previously MarkED) – Culinary Arts Pathway – Lodging and Tourism Pathway Family and Consumer Science – OSU-CETE

10. Out of School Instruction Early Placement Capstone can be used for both in-school and out of school learning experiences. (Does not count as one of the 4 minimum). Course is intended to offer a culminating experience for students nearing the end of their program.

11. Out of School Instruction Internships – Externships Flexibility in individual course hours can accommodate the need for students to spend short periods of time in the workplace. Minimum 120 hours – Maximum 280 hours

12. Out of School Instruction Cooperative Education Co-Op programs are structured by courses. Working with EMIS to accommodate multiple students, taking different courses with the same teacher at the same time.

13. What to do with students who have already taken the course? 1.Don’t offer the introductory course. Embed content in more advanced courses. 2.Offer students an opportunity to take another entry level course in another pathway with another teacher. 3.Allow students to take another course at the same period of time with the same teacher. 4.Provide credit flex opportunity for students. 5.Enroll in same course but provide opportunities for the student to go beyond what they learned previously.

14. When are CTE Technical Tests Required? When Available For Example: Engineering Pathway End of Course tests available Fall 2013 (FY14). Required Fall 2013. For Example: Arts and Communications Pathway End of Course tests available Fall 2015 (FY16). Required Fall 2015.

15. Recent CTE Tests Development 2013-14 Available Fall of 2014 – Required Fall of 2014 Information Technology Transportation Human Services-Cosmetology Development 2014-15 Available Fall of 2015 – Required Fall of 2014 Arts and Communications Business, Marketing and Finance Selected Ag & Environmental EOC tests

16. Career Technical Education Testing New Features Pretests available for selected courses. Exploring reader application for students with special needs. Monitoring can be done with other teachers in the pathway. Each student’s cutoff score is an average of their EOC tests. Report Not Proficient, Proficient, Advanced. Accommodates any student taking any sequence of end-of-course tests.

17. CTE Tests for OTES CTE Technical Tests are not required for use in OTES. However If a district uses ODE-approved vendor tests in the way the vendor prescribes and receives a student growth report with a teacher effectiveness rating, they are required to use the data for OTES.

18. But Wait! I haven’t Moved to Courses Yet! Assumptions Standards for which programs are held responsible generally are similar to older standards. A course based program organizes standards in a different manner than a 450-900 hours program block. End-of-course tests are based on the aligned standards.

19. Building and Property Maintenance to Structural Construction

20. Building a Program with Courses Instructor at the encouragement of the school administration, works with available pathway courses to build the program. Over the past year and into this year the instructor makes a reasonable attempt to address the curriculum in the six courses. 1.Construction - Core and Sustainable Construction 2.Carpentry and Masonry Technical Skills 3.Mechanical, Electrical and Plumbing Systems 4.Plan Reading 5.Remodeling and Renovation 6.Facility and Building Maintenance

21. End-Of-Course Testing The instructor determines that the existing program did not spend sufficient time on Plan Reading and Remodeling to meet what is expected in the courses and tests. Therefore the instructor selects four of the six EOC tests to have students participate in the 2014-2015 school year. Being introductory courses, juniors would test in courses 1 and 2 where they had received sufficient instruction. Since the EOC tests were available and technically required for juniors last year, seniors would finish testing the last 2 end-of-course tests sometime that year.
