• Most programs take two years• Competencies based on national standards and

vetted by CTE, industry, and postsecondary representatives; updated every five years

WHAT IS CATE?

• CATE: Career and Technical Education• Collects data related to CTE programs and

student enrollments in those programs• Three collections a year: – Beginning of Year (BOY); Middle of Year (MOY); End of

Year (EOY)– Three submissions per collection: CATE_BME-OY,

CATE_Course, CATE_Student Course• Tuition and Transportation (T&T)

reimbursement (AV-1/AV-2 reports)

WHAT ARE THE CATE SUBMISSIONS?

• CATE BOY, MOY, EOY (CATE_BME-OY): Collects student and student program information

• CATE_Course: Collects CTE program course information

• CATE_Student_Course: Collects information relating to courses students take in their CTE program(s).

• CATE Submission data elements can be found through the NH DOE Data Dictionary

CATE DATA ELEMENTS

• Many data elements are similar to those collected by i4see submissions

• Example: SASID, Date of Birth, SAU/District/School numbers

• Certain data elements are specific to CTE• Example: Program CIP code, transportation code,

concentrator/program completer status, technical skill assessment, etc

PROCESSED DATA: EXAMPLES

FEDERAL REPORTING: CAR AND EDEN

• OVAE requires Career and Technical Education to report annually on eight performance indicators at the secondary level:– Academic Attainment: Reading & Math (EDEN N142)– Technical Skill Attainment (EDEN N157)– High School Completion (EDEN N82 and N83)– Graduation Rate (EDEN N154)– Placement (after high school) (EDEN C158 and C169)– Nontraditional Participation and Completion (EDEN N155 and N156)

• Nontraditional students are those who take part in a program in which their gender comprises 25% or less of that career field. For example, females are nontraditional Automotive Mechanics students; males are nontraditional Cosmetology students

• Postsecondary performance indicators are populated by the Community College System of NH

• Both secondary and postsecondary must submit enrollment information (including demographics), financial information, and a detailed narrative.

• All reporting is due by December 31st each year

FEDERAL REPORTING: CAR AND EDEN

• Secondary Performance Indicator data are reported to OVAE through EDEN/EdFacts– Local performance indicator and enrollment reports

are distributed by the Bureau to our regional CTE centers in the late winter/early spring

• All other federal reporting is done through the Consolidated Annual Report (CAR)

• CTE data are required specifically on six special populations, in addition to the total CTE population– Limited English Proficiency (LEP); Students with

Disabilities (IEP); Economically Disadvantaged; Single Parents/Single Pregnant Teens; Displaced Homemakers; Nontraditional students

DATA RETRIEVAL• Certain data are retrieved from other NHDOE systems

using student SASIDs– This prevents the duplication of both data and effort, and

helps protect student privacy– Examples: Race; gender; grade level; postgrad plans;

NECAP scores; National Student Clearinghouse data; IEPs; LEPs; economic disadvantage; migrant status

• Other data are collected in CATE and are specific to CTE– Examples: Program concentrator & completer status;

nontraditional program designations; single parent & displaced homemaker; technical skill attainment

– While not necessary for federal reporting, student sending and receiving school data are used to generate AV-1 T&T reimbursement reports
