  14. The Perkins Act Reauthorization: Challenges for modernizing Career Technical Education

  15. Perkins Reauthorization:Key Issues Accountability • Link to NCLB Assessments (at the proficiency level) and NCLB graduation rate methodology. • Require valid and reliable indicators. • Indicators should not be “solely” developed by states. • Link technical skills to recognized industry standards. • Create separate secondary and postsecondary indicators. • Require local accountability for results

  16. Perkins Reauthorization:Key Issues Program Rigor • Require states to identify a secondary academic core that prepares for postsecondary education and work readiness. • Define CTE, Tech Prep as “culminating” in a postsecondary degree or recognized credential. Don’t water down postsecondary expectations. • Encourage Career Pathways/Model Sequence of Courses. • Phase-out and merge Tech Prep into the general program. • Allow linkages to baccalaureate programs – but target funds at secondary programs and sub-baccalaureate programs.

  17. Perkins Reauthorization:Legislative Status • H.R. 366. Introduced on 1/26/05 • Based closely on H.R. 4496 from the 108th Congress. • Passed by the Committee on March 9, 2005. • Awaiting full House action. • S. 250. Introduced on 2/1/05 • Based closely on S. 2686 from the 108th Congress. • Passed by Committee on March 9, 2005. • Passed by the full Senate on March 10, 2005.

  18. Perkins Reauthorization:Emerging Consensus Career Pathway Programs (“Model Sequence of Courses”) • Encourage linkages between high schools and postsecondary institutions. • Includes a challenging academic core. • Offers non-duplicative technical courses leading to degree or certificate. • Focuses on career pathways that are in-demand and lead to economic self-sufficiency. • Each local grant recipient operates at least one career pathway program. • State helps develop and approves career pathways.
