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
Course Re-Approvals • Professional development will be provided throughout the year. • The districts are to keep updated frameworks on file. • The frameworks need to be updated to the most current standards, i.e., Industry and Academic (Washington State Learning Standards). • Frameworks need to align with most current rules, licensures requirements, etc. NOTE: Nursing Rules and Regulations, NATA guidelines
What is the Health Science Program of Study? Sequence of courses • Prepares high school students with broad foundational knowledge and skills needed by all healthcare professionals. (Classroom Instruction and Theory; Project based) • Provides opportunities to develop leadership skills and participate in community service through career and technical student leadership organization or a locally developed plan that supports the health science career cluster (Leadership and Extended Learning) • Allow students to observe and learn from healthcare professionals • through work- based learning experiences that may include job shadowing, • internships, and other clinical experiences (Extended Learning) • Strengthen by Advisory boards of healthcare industry partnerships Ideally it is recommended students take an exploratory course prior to taking preparatory courses

Multiple courses?Sequence of Learning? How do you separate the parts from the whole?
Exploratory Courses • CTE courses in which students demonstrate the application of Washington State Learning Standards, 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).
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, 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.
Precision Exams • OSPI and Precision Exams have partnered to deliver standardized CTE assessments statewide • This partnership will enable our CTE programs to effectively and affordably provided industry assessments for every student in 150-plus CTE course areas • It also give our schools positive standards-based tools for program evaluation and improvement Contact: Adam SanchezWebsite: precisionexams.com Phone: 801-850-9883 Email: asanchez@precisionexams.com

What will the National Health Science Assessment and Certificate Program Do For You and Your Students? • Identify • NCHSE standards identify the basic knowledge and skills that all entry-level healthcare workers need to be successful, regardless of the pathway or occupation they select. • Measure The National Health Science Assessment – Two parts • Pre-Test provides an indication of what students know upon entry into a health science education program of study • Not a prerequisite for taking the National Health Science Assessment and Certificate Program (post-test) • Verification of knowledge gained by using both the pre- and post-tests provide a more meaningful measure of instructional effectiveness than the post-test score alone. • Post-Test measures student mastery of the basic knowledge and skills needed by all healthcare workers.
What will the National Health Science Assessment and Certificate Program Do For You and Your Students? • Recognize Students scoring 70% or higher on the National Health Science Assessment and Certificate Program (post-test) receive a certificate recognizing their accomplishments. In the future there may be stackable credentials through the NCHSE

CTE Statewide Course Equivalencies Equivalency career and technical education (CTE) courses meeting the requirement set forth in RCW 28A.230.097 can be taken for credit in place of any of the courses set forth in subsections (1) through (6) of this section (WAC 180-51-068), if the courses are recorded on the student’s transcript using the equivalent academic high school department designation and course title. http://www.k12.wa.us/CareerTechEd/default.aspx
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.
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.
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%). https://www.sbctc.edu/resources/documents/colleges-staff/programs-services/running-start/2015-rs-faqs.pdf
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. This requirement applies to certificates being renewed starting in 2019. What Does STEM PD Require: • The learning or activity must demonstrate authentic integration of 2 of the following 4 elements: science, technology, engineering and/or math.
