Outcomes of Previous Assessments
Reports in previous years have been based on two sources of data: students enrolled in the CTE-Coordinator certification and graduate follow up
studies. As a result of the data collected and the 2009 DPI audit, program revisions in both areas have been developed and approved. New program
plans, benchmark rubrics, and course rubrics have been developed to assist in data collection for further analysis and continuous quality
improvement.
2.
Questions To Be Answered From This Year’s Assessment
The 2009-10 assessment report will focus on data collected from the students completing the CTE Coordinator (previously known as LVEC). As
part of the requirements, students build a portfolio that demonstrates competency attainment. Those competencies come directly from the PI 34
licensure requirements for the CTE Coordinator.
For graduates of the MS CTE program, general competencies achieved by the graduates of the MS and EdS degrees as reported in the graduate
follow up reports will be presented.
New to the MS CTE Assessment report this year is a summary of new student competencies developing professional development plans.
3.
Methods Used to Gather Data
Upon completion of required coursework and internship, students in the CTE Coordinator licensure program compile a competency portfolio. Two
students completed CTE-C certification in 2009-10. A benchmark III rubric was used to evaluate their portfolios; the results have been compiled into
one report and presented in this AIM.
Budget, Planning and Analysis provided summaries and reports from 1-5 year graduate follow up studies for both the EdS and MS in Career and
Technical Education.
CTE 708 is a new required course in the MS CTE program. A rubric was developed to evaluate students abilities at creating professional
development plans.

4.
Number of Students Involved
As noted above, data from two students who completed licensure requirements and submitted a portfolio in the spring of 2010 was compiled. That
data is presented in this report.
The number of respondents to the graduate follow-up studies was fairly small; five graduates responded to the one-year MS CTE survey; three
graduates responded to the five-year MS CTE survey; three graduates responded to the one-year EdS CTE survey and one graduate responded to the
five-year EdS CTE survey. Total respondents for the four surveys were 14.
Thirteen students were enrolled in CTE 708 Issues in CTE spring of 2010. A rubric was used to evaluate their professional development plans. All
plans were submitted and are included in this report.
5.
Level of Students
Only graduate students were involved in the collection of data presented in this report..
6.
Data Analysis Techniques
Information collected will be summarized and included in tables/appendix submissions.

Analysis of Data
Competency Portfolio – CTE Coordinator- Benchmark III
Two students completed the requirements for certification as Career and Technical Education coordinators. Highlights of their performance includes:
Students demonstrated the greatest proficiency in the following categories:
7. Developing and Managing Budgets and Grants
12. Knowing the Relationship between Career Development and CTE
13. Providing Leadership in Promoting Post-Secondary Options for Students
Career and Technical Education AIM Report 2009
Page 3
17. Acting with Integrity, Fairness, and in an Ethical Manner
The lowest ratings in the two completer portfolios were:
11. Engaging in Practices Conducive to Continuous Improvement
16. Understanding of and Competency in the Ten Teacher Standards
Benchmark II Competency Portfolio Results
Two students completed the benchmark II competency review in the spring of 2010. With numbers that small, it is difficult to make an generalizable
conclusions of the data. However, three competencies received a 4.0/5.0 scale including:
2. Knowing and Promoting Comprehensive CTE Programs
3. Knowing and Promoting CTE Co-Curricular Student Organizations
7. Developing and Managing Budgets and Grants
Three competencies were in the lowest category, 2.5/5.0 and will be scrutinized in future portfolio reviews. The three competencies in this category
included:
5. Developing and Implementing CTE Evaluation Plans for Program Improvement
8. Gathering and Analyzing CTE Data
9. Using Standards to Select and Supervise Personnel
While the population in both of these reviews is small, the program director will be attentive to trends in future portfolio review to determine if there
are indeed trends in performances.
The complete data set of student results are found in Appendix C.
Graduate follow up studies
One and five year graduate follow up studies were conducted. The Office of Budget, Planning and Analysis provided summaries of the reports to the
program director. The number of respondents to the graduate follow-up studies was fairly small; five graduates responded to the one-year MS CTE
survey; three graduates responded to the five-year MS CTE survey; three graduates responded to the one-year EdS CTE survey and one graduate
responded to the five-year EdS CTE survey. Total respondents for the four surveys were 14.

Some generalizations can be made when combining data of previous year responses. Graduates of the MS program overall gave strong marks to their
preparation and acquisition of basic skill sets, especially related to communication skills (presentations/listening; writing reports), utilizing
instructional technology and a variety of instructional strategies, understanding statistics and completing research studies. All of the MS graduates
were employed in their field of study. Employer participation was also low with responses of one in each of the one-and four-year follow ups.
The responses to the EdS surveys were low as well. A total of three responded to the one-year follow up and 1 response to the five-year follow up
survey. A total of 1 employer responded to the EdS surveys. Graduates of the EdS in CTE were fully satisfied with their UW-Stout experience and
indicated they would enroll in the program again. They felt challenged by their program of study and well prepared to engage in research activity.
Employment data was high: 100% employment in the field of study and high earnings; all reported salaries above $75,000 per year.
The employers that responded were extremely satisfied with the academic preparation and work readiness of the Stout CTE graduates that they
employed.
Based on the responses of graduates and employers there were no areas of concern that could be generalized as an action item. The program director
needs to review the competencies used on the program specific surveys and update them accordingly, reflective of changes in terminology as well as
recent program revisions.
Professional Development Plans- CTE 708
Students enrolled in the class, CTE 708 Issues in Career and Technical Education, were required to develop professional development plans. A
rubric was used to evaluate the projects. Overall, students did an excellent job of articulating a professional development plan that included a
completed program plan, statement of goals and objectives relative to the MS and EdS CTE programs as well as professional development goals.
The students identified activities that would assist them achieving their goals that included a timeline and collaborative activities.
A graphic representation of their performance is provided below:

This particular assessment strategy demonstrates students’ abilities to develop a plan for personal and professional development, articulating the
graduate program in CTE as a mechanism.
8.
How Results Were Shared with Key Instructors
This report, in its entirety, will be presented at program advisory committee meetings.
9.
Plans for Improvements Based on Results.
Data will be shared with key instructors and the program advisory committees. Of particular discussion will be to develop new competencies to
include in the graduate follow up studies. In addition, a discussion will be conducted as to the value of the assessment in the major report and how it
may become a more useful and meaningful exercise and tool for quality assurances.
