PERKINS IV andPROGRAMS OF STUDY Rick Mangini
Perkins Purposes • Academic and technical integration • Secondary and postsecondary connections • Connections with business and industry
Perkins Purposes • Quality CTE for special populations. • STEM and other high-skill, high-wage or high demand workforce development.
Key Concepts in Plan Program of Study –a “pipeline” approach • 8-16 encouraged • Articulated/dual credit • Labor market connected • 9-14, non-duplicative curriculum plan
Programs of Study • Employer/economy-responsive: aligned with STEM and other high wage, high- skill or high-demand careers • Facilitate Statewide Articulation (e.g., Career-Technical Credit Transfer - CT2) • Articulated; may include dual enrollment
PROPOSED CRITERIA FOR PROGRAMS OF STUDY INCLUDE: • Required academic and technical coursework at grades 9 through the associate degree, minimally, and based on an Ohio pathway identified in one of Ohio’s 16 career fields • Courses listed by course title
PROPOSED CRITERIA FOR PROGRAMS OF STUDY INCLUDE: • Sequenced by grade level • Recommended academic and technical electives • Assurance that applicable course descriptions are available
PROGRAM OF STUDY CRITERIA • Assurance of the alignment of courses to State academic and technical content standards and regulatory business and industry standards where applicable. • Identification of appropriate and obtainable industry credentials. • Identification of articulated and/or dual enrollment/postsecondary credit.
PROGRAM OF STUDY CRITERIA • Adult workforce education opportunities. • Provisions to meet the needs of special populations. • Identification of coursework that addresses creative, innovative, artistic and/or design-oriented knowledge and skills.
The Value of the Program of Study • Shows the criticality of academics supporting career-technical education • Directs students to take the academics appropriate to their chosen career interest • Demonstrates the pathway leading to articulated credit
The Value of the Program of Study • Shows the postsecondary coursework they would take in their chosen pathway • Marketing and communication tool for parents and students
What the Program of Study Really Does Shows how all of the local stakeholders have worked together and done their homework to design a model for the “perfect” student pathway.
What the Program of Study Really Does Shows the student that if you want to be this, then here are the kinds of courses you would take and the things you would learn.
What the Program of Study Really Does • The POS is not necessarily a lock-step, sealed in stone route that has to be followed as printed, exactly the same way for every student. • The POS is a model that must be fluid, flexible and adaptable.
Implications, Challenges, Opportunities • Institutionalization • Stronger relationships (Sec/PS/Bus) • Seamless curricular transition to postsecondary • Assurances of collaboration • Assurances of alignment to CF Technical Content Standards or relevant B/I standards
