3. PROGRAM OF STUDY • What does that mean? • Is it the Same as RPOS (Rigorous Programs of Study)? • What is coming? • Measures going to follow??

4. Rigorous Programs of Study • The new “Tech Prep” • Provides a “Transitional Link” • Longitudinal information needs • Will be associated with Performance Measures

5. TRANSITIONAL LINK Tracking Students Career Path Beginning to Completion What does this mean?

6. TRANSITIONAL LINK PERHAPS IT MEANS “How do we find and then prove the secondary student that started in a CTE program is transitioning to the postsecondary in CTE and that they are successful?”

7. TRANSITIONAL LINK -WHY- SEC. 122. STATE PLAN (c) Plan Contents (1) describes the career and technical education activities to be assisted that are designed to meet or exceed the State adjusted levels of performance, including a description of— (A) the career and technical programs of study, which may be adopted by local educational agencies and postsecondary institutions to be offered as an option to students (and their parents as appropriate) when planning for and completing future coursework, for career and technical content areas that--

8. TRANSITIONAL LINK -WHY- SEC. 122. STATE PLAN 122(c)(1)(A) continued; (i) incorporate secondary education and postsecondary education elements; (ii) include coherent and rigorous content aligned with challenging academic standards and relevant career and technical content in a coordinated, non-duplicative progression of courses that align secondary education with postsecondary education to adequately prepare students to succeed in postsecondary education;

9. TRANSITIONAL LINK -WHY- 122(c)(1)(A) continued; (iii) may include the opportunity for secondary education students to participate in dual or concurrent enrollment programs or other ways to acquire postsecondary education credits; and

10. TRANSITIONAL LINK-HOW- 122(c)(1); (B) how the eligible agency, in consultation with eligible recipients, will develop and implement the career and technical programs of study described in subparagraph (A); (C) how the eligible agency will support eligible recipients in developing and implementing articulation agreements between secondary education and postsecondary education institutions; rent enrollment programs or other ways to acquire postsecondary education credits; and

11. TRANSITIONAL LINK -HOW- (D) how the eligible agency will make available information about career and technical programs of study offered by eligible recipients; (K) how funds will be used effectively to link academic and career and technical education at the secondary level and at the postsecondary level in a manner that increases student academic and career and technical achievement; and

12. TRANSITIONAL LINK -WHAT- So…just WHAT is the way to get this transitional link in place??? Articulation Agreements that lead to: PROGRAMS OF STUDY OF COURSE!!

13. TRANSITIONAL LINK -WHAT- SEC. 3. DEFINITIONS. (4) ARTICULATION AGREEMENT (A) that is agreed upon at the State level or approved annually by the lead administrators of-- (i) a secondary institution and a postsecondary educational institution; (B) to a program that is-- (i) designed to provide students with a nonduplicative sequence of progressive achievement leading to technical skill proficiency, a credential, a certificate, or a degree; and (ii) linked through credit transfer agreements between the 2 institutions described 13

14. TRANSITIONAL LINK-WHAT- SEC. 135. LOCAL USES OF FUNDS (2) link career and technical education at the secondary level and career and technical education at the postsecondary level, including by offering the relevant elements of not less than 1 career and technical program of study described in section 122(c)(1)(A); 14

15. TRANSITIONAL LINK -WHERE- AND JUST WHERE DID YOU FIND THESE ARTICULATION AGREEMENTS AND THIS PROGRAM OF STUDY?? IN TECH PREP!!! 15

16. TRANSITIONAL LINK -WHERE- AND JUST WHERE WILL YOU FIND THESE ARTICULATION AGREEMENTS AND THIS PROGRAM OF STUDY?? IN THE FUTURE??? 16

17. TRANSITIONAL LINK -WHERE- PROGRAMS OF STUDY 17

18. TRANSITIONAL LINK -WHEN- AND JUST WHEN DO YOU: • FIND OUT THE INFORMATION AND DATA YOU NEED TO PROVE THE TRANSITIONAL LINK FOR THE STUDENTS?? WHEN YOU REPORT IN THE CONSOLIDATED ANNUAL REPORT!! 18

19. -WHEN- CAR reporting requirements • Report participation • Report concentrators • 9 Tech Prep specific measures (7 will likely be in the next Perkins with RPOS) 19

20. -WHEN- Measurement Definition Number of secondary TP students PARTICIPANTS ALSO Number of postsecondary TP students PARTICIPANTS ALSO Collect # of secondary TP students as defined in the law # of postsecondary TP students as defined in the law In the CAR we already must report the number of secondary education tech prep students and postsecondary education tech prep students served. 20

21. Student Accountability Forms for the Section 203 Indicators of Performance (Title II) SECONDARY LEVEL 21

22. Student Accountability Forms for the Section 203 Indicators of Performance (Title II) POSTSECONDARY LEVEL 22

23. TRANSITIONAL LINK-WHO- TECH PREP IS PROGRAM OF STUDY!!! 23

29. 1STP3 Completes a Certificate Numerator # of secondary TP students who graduated last year with a State or industry-recognized certification or licensure. Your state should already be collecting this data Your Tech Prep concentrators are just a subset

30. 1STP3 Completes a Certificate • This is one of the measures that will not likely be in the new Perkins/RPOS • It is a duplicate of 2S1 30

31.

38. 1PTP4 Completes a Baccalaureate degree • This MAY not survive in the new Perkins • Currently NOT in RPOS • Very difficult to track reliably 38

39. How do you use the data? Improvement at the local education level Establishment of objectives and goals for the consortia Determine strategies to assist the students for transition and success Determine effectiveness of current strategies in use Assist in longitudinal findings Focus for funding 39

40. RPOS-What’s next?? • Think POS but more • Think Tech Prep but more • Think new measures (or old ones if you have done Tech Prep) • Think ALL CTE programs that are FUNDED

41. PROGRAMS OF STUDY What are the ten components of the Program of Study Design Framework? • Legislation and Policies • Partnerships • Professional development • Accountability and Evaluation Systems • College and Career Readiness Standards • Course Sequences • Credit Transfer Agreements • Guidance Counseling and Academic Advisement • Teaching and Learning Strategies • Technical Skills Assessments 

42. RPOS-10 ELEMENTS • Legislation & Policies • Partnerships • Professional Development • Accountability & Evaluation Systems • College & Career Readiness Standards

43. RPOS-10 ELEMENTS • Course Sequence • Credit Transfer Agreements • Guidance Counseling & Career Advisement • Teaching & Learning Strategies • Technical Skill Assessments

44. PROGRAMS OF STUDY 2. What should a Program of Study include? • The basic elements of a Program of Study are: • Secondary and postsecondary elements • Coherent and rigorous content aligned with challenging academic standards and relevant career and technical content • Opportunity for secondary students to participate in dual or concurrent enrollment courses or other ways to acquire postsecondary credit • Lead to an industry recognized credential or certificate at the postsecondary level or an associate or baccalaureate degree

45. PROGRAMS OF STUDY WHAT ARE THE DELIVERABLES? • Signed POS template • Signed dual credit agreement • Credit articulation log • Products-things you produce and do • ALL Programs of Study that you work on

46. Program of Study

48. THE FUTURE • RPOS • Standards • Coherent Sequences • Consortia to do RPOS • Do it or no funding? • Changes • Changes?
