IDEAS on Competencies fromCareer & Technical Education Resources Tool A Work in Progress
CTE Resources:People & Places • 26 CTE Centers in NH • Alstead (Fall Mt.) Heidi Gove • Berlin Roland Pinette • Claremont Joel Schneid • Concord Donna Nelson • Conway Neal Moylan • Derry (Pinkerton) Bill Wood • Dover Jim Stopa • Exeter (Seacoast) Nancy Pierce
Hudson (Palmer) Richard Lutz • Keene (Cheshire) Jim Logan • Laconia (Huot) Scott Davis • Littleton (Gallen) Gwen Blair • Manchester Karen White • Milford Rosie Deloge • Nashua Marshall Derry • Newport Cathryn Baird • Pembroke Lisa Witte
Peterborough (Conval) Chet Bowles • Plymouth Mark Christensen • Portsmouth Pam MacArtney • Rochester Richard Towne • Salem John Doherty • Somersworth Bette Chamberlain • Tilton (Winnisquam) Janet Rosequist • Whitefield (White Mt.) Lori Lane • Wolfeboro Steve Guyer
CTE Program Competencies Incorporate: • Core Content • All Aspects of Industry • High Performance/Employability Skills • NH GSEs • Expectations for Student Learning
1. Core Content Competencies • All CTE programs have established core content competencies (minimum content to be covered for that program) • These were established by local teachers guided by state & national standards and the input from local business and industry program advisory committees.
2. All Aspects of Industry • All CTE programs must present a Big Picture view of the program related industry to students. • AAI Standards are: • Planning • Management • Finance • Technical and Production Skills • Underlying Principles of Technology • Labor Issues • Community Issues • Health, Safety and Environment • Personal Work Habits
3. High Performance/ Employability Skills • Decision Making and Problem Solving • Self Management • Communication Skills • Ability to Work with Others • Information Use – Research, Analysis, Technology • Mathematical Concepts • General Safety • Career Development
4. NH Grade Span Expectations • NH Curriculum Frameworks were aligned with program competencies previously. • Incorporating the GSEs into the “competency column” will be work for the 2006-2007 school year.
5. Expectations for Student Learning • NEASC Accreditation Recommendation, specific to a local high school, easily incorporated into the “competency column.” • Milford’s: • Knowledgeable Person • Complex Thinker • Self-directed Learner • Quality Producer • Community Contributor • Collaborative Worker
TOOL • Competency Program Profile for Career & Technical Education • To be used WITH STUDENTS!!
EXAMPLE • Auto Tech 9 12 06.doc
3 COLUMNS • #1 Unit of Study (Blue) • #2 Competencies - what students need to know and be able to do and upon which they will be assessed. (Yellow) • #3 Skill Level Rating and Assessment Evidence (Pink)
3 COLUMNS -continued • #1 Unit of Study – organizing the content • #2 Competency – EVERYTHING you want the student to know and be able to do needs to be described in this column! • #3 Assessment Evidence – Teacher identified and/or student and teacher identified on this form!
A Work in Progress!! • Started this journey in 2001!! • CTE program competencies into NEW Format to be used for 06-07 • Get feedback from teachers, revise • Incorporate GSEs • AND . . .
The REALLY BIG Question is: • What will the package of assessments look like for students to be able to demonstrate mastery???
Things to Share: • How to contact CTE Directors • Copies of CTE Program Documents • All Aspects of Industry competency statements • High Performance/Employability Skills competency statements • Milford’s Expectations for Student Learning • Assessment Evidence Examples
Academic Competencies • District has new, standards-based k-12 curricula in all core academic areas • Each grade level or course has benchmarked outcomes for mastery and assessment • Each HS course has at least one locally created performance assessment and common core final assessment
Examples • Performance assessments: • Math – Algebra 1 - Rubric • Fine Arts – Theater - Rubric Which course competencies will these address? What other assessment will we need?
Adding Assessments to the Curriculum • Chemistry Example • Global StudiesExample
Next Steps • Starting with core academics, add assessments where needed; especially performance ones that will encompass multiple competencies. • Develop rubrics /scoring to accompany each assessment
RESULT: • Completed curriculum/assessment will be available to guide classroom based assessment Or • Competency based assessment for learners completing alternative programs or courses of study
