CTE and the A-F Report Card

1. CTE and the A-F Report Card ODCTE Summer Conference 2012

2. Is this you???

3. The A-F Report Card Is comprised of three (3) main sections each worth one-third of the overall grade: • Student Achievement - counts one-third or 33% • Student Growth - counts one-third or 34% • Whole School Performance - counts one-third or 33%

4. High School Whole School Performance (1) Graduation Rate • Counts 79% of 33% (or 26% of total) (2) Participation in advanced coursework(i.e. Advanced Placement (AP), International Baccalaureate (IB), Advanced International Certificate of Education (AICE), concurrent college enrollment, industry certification courses and Cooperative Alliance courses) • Student must earn a passing grade to count for participation • Tech Centers & CTE HS instructors will provide data to high schools • Can be taken at high school, technology center or regional site of OSSM • Counts 3% of 33% (or 1% of total) • Grades 9-12

5. High School Whole School Performance (3) Performance on APor IB exams • AP - score 3 or higher • IB - score 4 or higher • Counts 3% of 33% (or 1% of total)

6. High School Whole School Performance (4) Performance in concurrent enrollment, AICE, industry certification course and Cooperative Alliance course • Concurrent course, AICE course, and Cooperative Alliance course: Course must be a credit bearing course, not a remedial course • Concurrent course, AICE course, and Cooperative Alliance course: Student must earn credit in the course, earning a "C" or higher grade • Industry certification course: Student must pass certification exam • Industry certification exam: Tech Centers & CTE HS programs will provide data on which students pass exams to ODCTE on Follow-up Report. ODCTE will provide this data to SDE • Counts 3% of 33% (or 1% of total)

7. High School Whole School Performance (5) College entrance exam participation (ACT or SAT) • Can be taken any time in student's career • If ACT is taken multiple times it only counts once in student's career - If SAT is taken multiple times it only counts once in student's career • A student can be counted once for ACT and once for SAT • Counts 3% of 33% (or 1% of total) • Next year (2012-2013) counts 4.5% because data from #7 and #8 not available

8. High School Whole School Performance (6) College entrance exam performance • ACT = 20 or higher • SAT = 1410 or higher • National Test dates only - no residual tests • Highest test score taken on ACT or SAT - data provided to SDE from ACT • If ACT is taken multiple times it only counts once in student's career - If SAT is taken multiple times it only counts once in student's career • A student can be counted once for ACT and once for SAT • Counts 3% of 33% (or 1% of total) • Next year (2012-2013) counts 4.5% because data from #7 and #8 not available

9. High School Whole School Performance (7) High school graduation rate of low achieving eighth grade students • School from which they graduate gets to count them even if they move around after 8th grade • Counts 3% of 33% (when data becomes available) (8) Five or more year graduation rate • Includes all graduates even if take 5 or more years to graduate • Counts 3% of 33% (when data becomes available)

10. BONUS - High School Whole School Performance • Climate survey results • Parent/Community volunteers • Percent of students following the C3 (College, Career & Citizen Ready) curriculum • Percent of graduates who need remediation in college (go to Oklahoma college or university right after HS – if 25% or less, the school will receive bonus points)

11. PARTICIPATION points are calculated at the STUDENT LEVEL • No matter how many courses students are taking they ONLY COUNT ONCE per year. (example: industry certification course and AP course taken by the student in the same year)

12. PERFORMANCE - a student can earn more than one point if taken in different categories (examples count 2 points): • Passing an industry certification test and scoring 20 or higher on an ACT; • Scoring 20 or higher on ACT and 1410 or higher on SAT; • Scoring a 3 or higher on an AP course and passing an industry certification test

13. Further clarification: • The student would need to be enrolled at least one semester to count for a participation point. • The industry certification test must represent 60 hours of instruction to count for a performance point. • Technology Centers will give the high schools the names of students enrolled at the tech center who count for participation points. • CTE HS instructors will give the high schools the names of students enrolled who count for participation points. • SDE will collect performance points on certification tests from ODCTE.
