Creating Secondary/ Postsecondary Programs of Study

Perkins IV & Programs of Study

• Incorporate and align secondary and postsecondary education elements,

• Include academic and CTE content in a coordinated, non-duplicative progression of courses,

• Offer the opportunity, where appropriate, for secondary students to acquire postsecondary credits, and

• Lead to an industry-recognized credential or certificate at the postsecondary level, or an associate or baccalaureate degree.

CAREER & COLLEGE READINESS FOR ALL STUDENTS!!

Perkins IV & Programs of Study

•Competency based curricula tied to industry expectations and skill standards;•Sequential course offerings that provide strategic entry and exit points as needed throughout a lifetime—this leads to management “stepping stones” of skill building, high school graduation and postsecondary education completion;•Flexible course and program formats convenient for learner segments;•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 that align academic credentials with job advancement in high-skill, high-wage or high demand occupations.

Minnesota’s response…

• MN changed its definition of a local recipient.

• A requirement for the establishment of Programs of Study

• A new approach to assessing CTE skills

Academic (Liberal Arts & Sciences) skillsTechnical skillsWorkplace skills

Three important changes in the implementation of Perkins Act of 2006

Minnesota only awards Perkins funds to collaborating consortia of secondary and postsecondary schools…no individual local recipients.

Programs of Study

State-approved Programs of Study

RPOSPrograms of Study – As a guidance tool, the intent is to chart out many paths for student success.

State-approved Programs of Study – Signature programs for a consortium. consortium should identify at least seven programs for state approval.

Rigorous Programs of Study – Ten elements take the POS to the highest standard. Each consortium focused on one Program of Study to meet the RPOS standard in 2013-2014 & beyond.

Review existing Rigorous Program of Study (POS) on MnProgramsofstudy.org and in your FY15 plan:

• Is your Rigorous Program of Study relevant?

• Are you working on at least one of the 10 components of RPOS?

• If possible, begin to align any of the 6 state-approved POS to these components.

* Reviewed and approved by state CTE staff during Perkins monitoring visits.

Your Role As Consortium Leader –To Do’s – Rigorous Program of Study

Review existing state-approved Programs of Study on MnProgramsofstudy.org and in your FY15 plan:• Are your 6 State-Approved Programs of

Study still relevant to high schools and colleges?

Technical Skill Assessments

Professional Learning Communities & Common Assessments

•Set aside time for professional development to review outcomes, learning targets, & sample assessments and choose the assessment

•Ease teachers’ fears

Simplify it!

•Make the procedure for the teachers to be the least amount of work (ordering the assessments, putting in the data, etc.)

Technical Skill Assessments

Prepare the Students Ahead of Time

•Talk to the students prior to assessment – show the students the blueprints!!

•Make the results matter – report results on transcripts, print off certificates, talk about college credit options, etc.

Technical Skill Assessments

What Do I Do with the Results?

•Use Professional Learning Communities • Was it the best assessment?• Timing in the semester/trimester?• Analyze the results• Do we teach every area?• Compare with district, state, nation• What do the cut scores mean?

Next Steps - Discussion

Think about your own local progress in implementing effective Programs of Study

• Strengths?• Needs for improvement?

How can the your state or local CTE leaders assist you in your work on this initiative?
