6. WA State Auditor’s Office (SAO) • SAO is analyzing student outcomes and data and interviewing selected school districts and their program partners to learn more about innovative approaches that are being used to develop and sustain existing CTE programs. • The goal is to provide practices that school districts can use to help inform them about approaches that have been successful in and out of state and may potentially benefit their district.  • The Secondary CTE Outcomes Performance Audit will seek to answer the following:  What are the education and employment outcomes of Washington secondary students who concentrate in or complete a CTE program?  Are secondary CTE course offerings aligned with state, regional and local workforce needs?  Are there leading practices that could be identified and shared to increase the success of other program providers? http://www.sao.wa.gov/state/Documents/Workforce_Development_audit_description.pdf

7. WA State Auditor’s Office (SAO) The compliance audits will focus on the following three areas: • Does the CTE course have current approval by OSPI? • Is the teacher WA State CTE certificated? • Does the CTE endorsement tie to the CTE course they are teaching? Do the CIP Codes align with the V Codes? http://www.sao.wa.gov/state/Documents/Workforce_Development_audit_description.pdf

8. Certification • CTE Conditionals, CTE Probationary, CTE Initial and Renewals, CTE Continuing and Renewals, and CTE Director and Renewals are all available online. • The CTE Counselor, Occupational Information Specialist and renewals are paper applications that must be sent to OSPI with the $40 fee. • Paper applications are on the Certification website. Download the application(s), print, and complete. • If you have submitted your application prior to June 30, 2016 you have met the deadline for submission. • Any “Rush Requests” for start of school, email Kelli directly. • Effective August 1, 2016 The Certification office will no longer mail printed certificates to educators. Official certificates are now available for educators to print through the E-Certification system.

9. Initial Certification Initial CTE Certificate is valid for 4 years. There are two options: • College/University Route (Full Teacher Program) Bachelor’s degree, with a minimum 45 quarter hours of study in specific CTE subject area. One year of paid occupational industry experience (2,000 hours) in the subject are other than teaching. • Business & Industry Route (Block II) Completed a WA Professional Standards Board approved program for business and industry route and, Document 3 years (6,000 hours) of paid occupational experience in the specific CTE specialty area for which certification is sought. A minimum of 2,000 hours must be industry occupation hours. http://www.k12.wa.us/certification/CTE/Initial.aspx

10. Probationary CTE Certificate Requirements • The candidate must have substantially completed requirements for the initial CTE certificate • The applicant must be recommended by the employing school district. • The candidate and CTE administrator must have a jointly developed professional growth plan which has been approved by the local school district CTE program advisory committee. Professional Growth Plan must provide for: • Issues related to legal liability • The responsibilities of professional CTE educators • The lines of authority in the employing school district and/or building • Within 60 days, establish procedures for development of competencies in CTE methods, and General and specific safety. • If the candidate does not have access to required coursework in the first 90 days, the CTE program advisory committee may authorize completion of coursework at a later date. Coursework must be completed prior to the second year of employment. • Procedures and timelines must be developed for meeting the remaining requirements for the initial CTE certificate.

11. Probationary CTE Certificate Renewal • The probationary CTE certificate may be renewed one time for 2 additional years: • Upon recommendation by the employing district, • If the individual has completed the procedures outlined for the first year in the professional growth plan, and • If the individual has made additional progress in meeting the requirements for initial CTE teacher certificate, see initial CTE. • For the Business and Industry Route, here is where you can find program information:Washington Professional Standards Board ˗approved program.

12. Probationary CTE Certificate Probationary Certificate as Coordinator of Worksite Learning The candidate must have: • Must hold a CTE probationary, Initial or Continuing certificate in a program area other than Worksite Learning and/or Career Choices. WAC 181-77-068 Worksite Learning and Career Choices • Completed a course in coordination techniques. • Demonstrate competency in the CTE teacher preparation specialty standards (WAC 181-77A-180). http://www.k12.wa.us/certification/CTE/Probationary.aspx

13. STEM Professional Development STEM Renewal Requirement for CTE Teachers (RCW 28A.410.2212): • At least 15 clock hours, or one-half of one annual professional growth plan (PGP), must have an emphasis on STEM integration for ALL CTE Instructors.

For more information, contact Clarence “CJ” Dancer clarence.dancer@k12.wa.us or 360-725-4467.

14. Conditional CTE Certificate The certificate is valid for 1 year or less and only for the teaching area specified on the certificate. The 1-year conditional CTE certificate enables a school district, which cannot find a regularly certificated CTE instructor in a specific area, to hire someone who is highly qualified and experienced in that area. The certificate is subject to specific limitations and the teacher must complete a written training plan developed in coordination with the CTE administrator and the CTE advisory committee. Limitations: (must comply with one of following) • The candidate is highly experienced in the knowledge and occupational skills of the CTE program to be certified • The candidate may be employed in new and emerging occupations as identified by the Professional Educator Standards Board or its designee. http://www.k12.wa.us/certification/CTE/Conditional.aspx

15. Conditional CTE Certificate Screening. The school district must verify the following screening criteria have been met: • No person with CTE certification in the field is available. • Certification is for a limited assignment and responsibility in a specified CTE program area. • The candidate will be oriented and prepared for the specific assignment and will be apprised of any legal liability, the lines of authority, and the duration of the assignment. • The CTE administrator and local program advisory committee state the basis on which they have determined that the candidate is competent for the assignment • A written work and/or educational experience training plan is on file with the employing district. Renewal: • The certificate may be reissued on submission of a new application and evidence that requirements continue to be met. http://www.k12.wa.us/certification/CTE/Conditional.aspx

16. Developing a Program and/or Course Approval

17. Program of Study • A coordinated, non-duplicative progression of courses that align secondary education with post-secondary education to adequately prepare students to enter into postsecondary education, an apprenticeship, and/or employment. • Ideally it is recommended students take an exploratory course prior to taking preparatory courses.

18. Exploratory Courses • CTE courses in which students demonstrate the application of Washington State Learning Standards, EALRs, GLEs, and PEs in the context of preparing for living, learning and working; demonstrate foundational and occupational specific skills required to meet current industry standards; explore and demonstrate knowledge of career options within the related career cluster; and demonstrate leadership and employability skills. All courses are to be taught to the Washington State Science Learning Standards at this time (based on the three-year roll out cycle).

19. Preparatory Courses • A technically intensive and rigorous CTE course or sequence of courses in which students demonstrate mastery of occupational specific skills including the application of Washington State Learning Standards, EALRs, GLEs and PEs as required to meet industry defined standards needed for a specific career; leads to a certificate or credential necessary for employment or offers dual credit; and leads to workforce entry, approved apprenticeships, or postsecondary education in a related field. Preparatory courses expand upon exploratory course characteristics in specific and complex ways.

39. Two-For-One • The “two-for-one” policy is a rule change (WAC 180-51-067) in effect for students in the graduating class of 2016. Students who take CTE-equivalent courses may satisfy two graduation requirements while earning one credit for a single course; hence, “two-for-one”. The purpose of this policy is to create flexibility for students to choose more elective courses or to address other graduation requirements. • A CTE-equivalent course consists of two courses: one CTE, one academic. One of those courses is placed on the student’s transcript for credit. Students generally choose which course they want placed on the transcript, and this choice is driven by their High School and Beyond Plan. This practice will remain the same. • Under the rule in effect through the class of 2015, WAC 180-51-066, the student earns one credit and satisfies one graduation requirement.

40. Two-For-One • The new policy will permit the second course to be “checked off” as a “met requirement” by local counseling staff. Which course is put on the transcript and which one is locally “checked off” will continue to be determined by the student, based on their post high school goals. • The total number of credits the student needs to graduate will not change. • Districts will continue to use a locally-developed process to enable the record-keeping needed to assure that all requirements have been met. Currently, the standardized transcript does not track the types of credits applied to courses.

41. Dual-Credit Tech Prep serves students in grades 9-12. All Tech Prep dual credit classes are taken on the high school campus and are identified as Career and Technical Education (CTE) classes. CTE classes integrate academics with technical skill development to help prepare students for advanced education and careers related to "professional-technical" occupations. 125% credit rule for financial aid. The rule establishes the maximum timeframe for state financial aid eligibility, meaning that the recipients must have completed less than 125 percent of the maximum length of their program in order to remain eligible for financial aid such as the State Need Grant (the maximum length for Federal financial aid is 150%). I’m attaching a link to the Running Start document that explains the rule with examples on page 3: https://www.sbctc.edu/resources/documents/colleges-staff/programs-services/running-start/2015-rs-faqs.pdf
