CVTC Mission Statement “We prepare people to succeed through quality career and technical education programs and services.”
Why do we use WorkKeys & KeyTrain? Industry wants a skilled workforce! And…. It delivers!
#1 Rule…. SELL IT TO THE STUDENTS!
Explain what the WorkKeys Test is and why students need their CRC.
Compare scores with program goals and remediate with KeyTrain if nessesary
Why Pretest with WorkKeys? When a student enrolls at CVTC “Pre-testing” in WorkKeys allows students who are capable of scoring at or above their program goals to “test-out” of remediation in the KEYS Center. Yes, this costs CVTC more money but saves our students valuable class time if they perform at level and reduces the number of tests a student has to take.
How did we get to that 96%? • Never underestimating the role of the tutor
Keeping instructors informed using monthly progress reports to instructors.
Factors that effect overall percentage of students at goal level in a program: • Open entry /Open exit, people come and people go…the numbers are always changing. • IEP students may be exempt or have adjusted program goals. Many IEP students become part of the class percentage!
What will 2011 bring??? We are already on a roll! By the end of the first semester we are already at 81%!
