  2. The Education ChallengePreparing Students for a Changing World

  3. Challenges • Globalization (You Tube – Did You Know)

  4. Computer Sales Computer Manufacturers Dell Sony Compaq HP IBM Think Pad Apple NEC Gateway Toshiba Quanta Wispron Asustek Compal Inventec 90 % Mainland China Companies

  5. Cities with 1 Million People

  6. Challenges • Globalization • Technology

  7. 1983 - A Nation at Risk • E-mail • Web pages • Google • iPODs • Laptops • Digital cameras • Doppler radar • Cell Phones • Debit cards

  8. 2000 • Blogs • Wikis • Tagging • Text messaging • MySpace • Podcasts • PDAs • Genetic code

  9. Challenges • Globalization • Technology • Preparation

  11. What are the real school problems? • A high and rising drop out rate • Students who graduate are lacking in basic math and science skills • Most students think they are going to college but do not prepare for it or any other possible future

  20. More Problems:Science Performance17 Year Olds A Nation At Risk

  21. The Problem: Math PerformanceOf American Youth NAEP Scores for 17 Year olds

  22. Taking more math is no guarantee • 43% of ACT-tested Class of 20051 who earned A or B grades in Algebra II did not meet ACT College Readiness Benchmarks in math (75% chance of earning a C or better; 50% chance of earning a B or better in college math) • 25% who took more than 3 years of math did not meet Benchmarks in math (NOTE: these data are only for those who took the ACT tests) ACT, Inc. (2007) Rigor at Risk.

  23. The number of 17-year-old students taking advanced math classes has also increased -- with 17 percent studying calculus and 53 percent studying second-year algebra --  it is unclear why that trend has not resulted in higher average math scores over all. http://nces.ed.gov/nationsreportcard/ltt/results2004/

Rigor/Relevance Framework 6 • Obtain historical data about local weather to predict the chance of snow, rain, or sun during year. • Test consumer products and illustrate the data graphically. • Plan a large school event and calculate resources (food, decorations, etc.) you need to organize and hold this event. • Make a scale drawing of the classroom on grid paper, each group using a different scale. • Analyze the graphs of the perimeters and areas of squares having different-length sides. • Determine the largest rectangular area for a fixed perimeter. • Identify coordinates for ordered pairs that satisfy an algebraic relation or function. • Determine and justify the similarity or congruence for two geometric shapes.

  36. Career and Technical Education • Keeps youth in school! • school! • Improves daily attendance • Improves graduation rate • Is an economic value! • Connects to post-secondary education! • Enhances academic achievement! NRCCTE

  37. CTE and School Engagement

  38. CTE Structures and Pedagogies and Dropping Out • Students in or Career Majors are 16% more likely to graduate from high school. • Students in Tech Prep are 30% more likely to complete high school. • Students who participated in specific STW activities are 18% more likely to complete high school. Stone & Aliaga, in press

No WBL; 2.99 college GPA No community service; 3.02 college GPA 58% with NO HS WBL; college GPA above 3.0 HS WBL; 3.08 college GPA Community service; 3.11 college GPA 64% of with HS WBL; college GPA above 3.0 CTE-WBL and Achievement: Relationships Swail, Watson S., and Kampits, Eva (2004).

  40. Our mission Career and Technical Education (CTE)creates pathways to success for every secondary student by providing him or her with the technical skills and academic knowledge needed to prepare for future employment and/or a successful transition to post-secondary education.

  41. Academic Skills Taught For example: Technical readingis required in testing and diagnosis in Automotive Technology. Writing skills, critical in every career, are taught throughout high school. An increased knowledge of science is essential in such careers as Agriculture and Health Care. Students apply math skills in Engineering and Construction.

  42. Employability Skills Taught • Communication • Teamwork • Leadership • Goal setting • Resource management • Using technology • Personal responsibility • Higher-order thinking

  43. Supporting Programs

  44. Who takes CTE courses? Students enrolled in CTE courses include: 72,856 males 140,6519th-12th graders 67,795 females

  45. Student Participation in Utah Over 139,000students participate in internships,job shadowing, field studies, andcareer fairs annually. Over 57,000concurrent enrollment credit hours were earned last yearby CTE students.

  46. Only 20% of all jobs are in professions JOBS Only 15% are unskilled 65% of all jobs are skilled occupations Career Outlook Source: U.S. Dept. of Labor

  47. What do students need to succeed? Employability skills Academic skills Technical skills

  48. Skill Certificates Number of Skills Tests Administered YearTests 2006-2007 188,412 2005-2006 182,144 2004-2005 165,792 In 2006-2007, 132,440 studentsattained a substantial or sufficient level on the CTE competency skill certificate tests. Student performance is part of the skill certificate process.
