  1. Advanced Technical Credit Teacher Professional Development For Statewide Articulation www.atctexas.org

  2. Purpose To provide eligible high school teachers with the information necessary to successfully teach ATC statewide-articulated courses. www.atctexas.org

  3. Teacher Eligibility Each ATC course section taught by a school must have an ATC-eligible and trained teacher. www.atctexas.org

  4. Teacher Eligibility Teachers must meet college requirements: Requirement 1: The teacher must have a baccalaureate degree or higher in the teaching discipline. OR Requirement 2: The teacher must have a minimum of an associate degree and 3 years verifiable non-teaching work experience directly related to the teaching discipline. www.atctexas.org

For example; registered nurse, Cisco CNI or ASE certifications. www.atctexas.org

  6. Teacher Eligibility Examples www.atctexas.org

  7. If Not Approved The school still may offer the regular non-ATC course at the high school. ATC approval is related to community college faculty requirements; SBEC certification is related to high school teacher requirements. www.atctexas.org

  8. Training Overview MINIMUM TRAINING REQUIRED BY TEA EVERY THREE YEARS. PART I: • General instruction • Two hours minimum PART II: • Course-specific instruction • One hour minimum per college course www.atctexas.org

  10. What is College Tech Prep? www.atctexas.org

  11. College Tech Prep “In spite of increasing need at the associate degree level, instructional programs throughout the nation (and) state…struggle to produce enough graduates to meet the needs of business and industry.It seems that high school students are not fully aware of the excellent opportunities available through technical careers.” Dr. Robert D. Krienke President, Lamar Institute of Technology www.atctexas.org

  12. Socioeconomic Trends Texas social and economic trends: • Decreasing average household income • Growing unskilled, under-educated population • Losing ground in the global marketplace • Increasing spending on prisons, welfare and Medicaid www.atctexas.org

  13. Decline in Income www.atctexas.org

  14. Annual Attendance Rates www.atctexas.org

  15. Graduation Rates www.atctexas.org

  16. Professional Jobs (> or = bachelor’s) 20% Little change for several generations TECHNICAL JOBS Specific skills-based training required (>HS <bachelor’s) 65% Increasing OJT Jobs (on the job training required) 15% Decreasing Available Jobs Source: Occupational Outlook Quarterly, Vol. 41, pages 11-12 www.atctexas.org

  17. College Tech Prep is: • A federally funded initiative • Seamless, non-duplicative education • Participation leads to post secondary program enrollment www.atctexas.org

  18. Tech Prep Programs Must: • Provide education in high-demand jobs • Include an approved 6-year plan • Provide rigorous academics • Develop workforce skills • Offer work-based experiences • Include college credit at the high school level • Lead to a two-year or 4-year technical degree www.atctexas.org

  19. College Credit &Tech Prep College credit may be acquired through: • Statewide and/or local articulation; • Dual Credit • Concurrent enrollment; and/or • Advanced Placement. AND Articulation allows eligible students to receive credit for advanced measures for the Distinguished Achievement Program (DAP). www.atctexas.org

  22. PEIMS is… A common method for school districts to report data to TEA, including: • ADA (Average Daily Attendance - state funding for attendance) • CATE course enrollment (state weighted funding - 1.35) • Participation in career/technology courses (federal Perkins funding) and PEIMS impacts funding. www.atctexas.org

  23. PEIMS Codes PEIMS codes are used in CATE for: Reporting CATE course enrollments (course abbreviations and 8-digit service ID numbers) • ATC course abbreviations end in –TP: BCIS1-TP • ATC course numbers include a T: 1201120T Reporting students participating in CATE PEIMS student codes: 0, 1, 2, and 3 www.atctexas.org

  24. PEIMS Codes Code 0 Not in a CATE course in October Code 1 Enrolled in a CATE in October, but no intent to follow a technical course sequence www.atctexas.org

  25. PEIMS Codes Code 2 Participating in a coherent sequence of technical courses Code 3 Participating in a coherent sequence of technical courses (Tech Prep Student) www.atctexas.org

  26. PEIMS Codes Impact on federal funding: • 5% of Perkins funds –based on a district’s percentage of the total CATE participants statewide (codes 1, 2, & 3). • An additional 5% of Perkins funds –based on the number of students participating in coherent sequences of CATE courses, including those participating in Tech Prep programs(codes 2 & 3). www.atctexas.org

  27. What is Articulation? www.atctexas.org

  28. Articulation There are two main types of articulation: Program articulation • Tech Prep programs Course articulation • Local articulation • Statewide articulation www.atctexas.org

  29. Program Articulation Tech Prep Program Articulation Agreements are: • Program agreements between one high school or ISD and one college or college district system. • Consist of an approved 6-year plan outlining ALL academic and articulated technical courses that make up the College Tech Prep program. www.atctexas.org

  30. Local Articulation Local Course Articulation Agreements are: • Course-to-course agreements between one high school or school district and one college or college district system. www.atctexas.org

  31. ATC Statewide Articulation Statewide Course Articulation is: • A statewide agreement between the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board and the Texas Education Agency. • A state-designed, advanced college placement program, the Advanced Technical Credit Program (ATC). www.atctexas.org

  32. ATC Statewide Articulation Statewide Articulation allows students to: • Attend any of a variety of participating colleges. • Save time and money. www.atctexas.org
