Perkins Plan Coaching and Project Management Advance CTE, the professional organization for state CTE directors, selected NY as one three states to receive the following resources • Technical assistance and project management support from Perkins coach, Marie Barry, the former NJ state director of CTE • Participation in national Perkins workgroups and professional development
Continued from P4 New with P5 • The law's purpose: retains focus on CTE program improvement • Local funding formula and funding eligibility • Requirement for program of study • Increased emphasis on equity and accountability • New program quality indicator • Many definitions shared with ESSA or WIOA
Perkins V Continues Perkins IV Funding Formula Structure for Secondary Programs • Legislation’s secondary allocation requirements • based on population data—not CTE enrollments; • weighted by number of economically disadvantaged students in district • Set a minimum threshold of $15,000 allocation (as generated by the mandated formula) to apply directly for funds • Require states to define size, scope, and quality thresholds to be met in order to apply directly for funds
Board of Regents Actions During Perkins IV • Increased integrated academic credits available in approved programs from 4 to 8 • CTE graduation pathway • CDOS Commencement Credential • 4+CDOS graduation option • Revised middle-level CTE requirements • Increased number of paths to CTE teacher certification
Transition from Perkins IV to Perkins V USDE requires states to submit a one-year plan that describes how they intend to: • Analyze data to determine gaps in equity and access • Engage stakeholders in identifying barriers to offering state-approved programs of study • Expand opportunities for every student to explore, choose, and follow a program of study that offers multiple entry and exit points and includes the opportunity to earn credentials of value Due to USDE in May 2019
Perkins V Four-year Plan: Due to USDE April 2020
Perkins V Goals • Improving the entire CTE delivery continuum through evidence-based • program development • instructional strategies • funding decisions • Career exploration and preparation for high-skill, high-wage or in-demand occupations • Increasing the employment opportunities for learners who experience significant barriers to success in the workplace
Priorities to be Addressed in NY’s Four-year Perkins V Plan Foundational elements to improving access and quality CTE programs: • Increasing the number of students enrolled in approved CTE programs • Improving the quality of work-based learning experiences • Providing targeted supports and services to improve performance of special populations • Increasing assistance to high-needs districts and underserved populations
Perkins V: Definitions that Organize the Universe • State must define “size, scope, and quality” which establishes eligibility criteria for local applicants • The law defines “secondary concentrator” as a student “who has completed at least 2 courses in a single program or program of study” • The law does not define: “course” • Perkins indicators measure the performance of CTE concentrators
Accountability: Secondary Performance Indicators Perkins V defines the following performance indicators to measure grant effectiveness: • Academic attainment: in ELA, mathematics, and science (mirror New York’s ESSA Plan definitions) • Graduation rates (mirror New York’s ESSA Plan definitions) • New program quality indicator: participation in work-based learning • Post-high school outcomes: placement 6-months after exiting high school • Non-traditional: Percentage of concentrators in programs that lead to fields that are non-traditional for the students’ gender
Perkins V New Accountability Requirement: Publicly Available Performance Reports A new provision in Perkins V calls for states to make CTE student performance data available to the public in an accessible format.
Engaging Communities and Strengthening Partnerships • PerkinsV requires: • Increasedstakeholder engagementinthe development of the state plan • Coordinationbetweenhighschoolsandcommunitycolleges toofferarticulated programsof study • Increased program connections to industrythroughaccess to industryexperts andwork‐basedlearningopportunities
