Overview of Study
The Massachusetts Department of Education (MDOE) has a long-standing commitment to expanding career and economic advancement opportunities for students. To support efforts to increase the enrollment, retention, and completion of students in career and technical education (CTE) programs that are
nontraditional for their gender, MDOE contracted with the Institute for the Study of Family, Work, and
Community (IFWC)—a non-profit educational research and policy group based in Berkeley, California—
to study state data and recommend strategies to improve student involvement.
The study included three components. To ground project design efforts, the research team initially
conducted a comprehensive review of the literature to identify promising programs that state and local
education agencies are using to promote secondary student participation in programs nontraditional for
their gender. This review included an examination of state policies and initiatives promoting gender equity, descriptions of program components that are critical to reform success, and a summary of the implications of research findings for future work.
To gain perspective on issues faced by local educators, researchers also developed and analyzed a
survey of CTE administrators and teachers to assess obstacles to student participation in and completion
of nontraditional programs, and the quality of school services that support student participation in such
programs. The final component of the study included a detailed analysis of existing CTE data. Specifically, the analysis on student participation in programs nontraditional for their gender sought to answer the
following questions using annual outcome data supplied by the state

What is the true picture in historically nontraditional Chapter 74 programs in Massachusetts?
For example, what is the historical picture of programs with very low nontraditional participation in the labor market such as carpentry, nursing or automotive?

What percentage of nontraditional students met various Perkins measures by type of program?

How likely are secondary CTE students to participate in and complete programs nontraditional
for their gender by school district?

How do Chapter 74 nontraditional program enrollments compare with statewide labor market
participation rates in corresponding program areas?
Report Organization
This report contains four sections. The first section provides a general summary of literature review
findings. The second section presents findings from the educator survey, detailing obstacles educators

Section 1: Literature Review
This section presents key findings from the literature review. Specifically, it lists promising state initiatives and critical elements for reform success. This section also details study limitations and concludes
with further research recommendations. The main finding from the review of literature is that a combination of strategies and initiatives is needed to successfully promote student participation in programs nontraditional for their gender.
Promising State Initiatives
A review of state initiatives revealed several promising programs that employ a variety of strategies—ranging from professional development for teachers to parental involvement—to promote awareness, recruitment and placement of students in programs nontraditional for their gender. Some of the more
innovative programs include: California’s Nontraditional Careers 101; Family Tools and Technology
(New Jersey); The Tackle Box Project (Wisconsin); Destination Success (MAVCC) 1; United Connecticut
for Women in Science, Mathematics and Engineering; Train-the-Trainer Program2 and Women in Engineering (Maryland).3
Critical Elements for Reform Success
In practice, most successful gender equity programs combine several strategies to achieve positive
results. Although program components invariably differ, promising reform initiatives generally include a
set of complementary activities that span a set of critical elements: 1) Curricular materials, instruction and
assessment, 2) career guidance and mentoring and 3) marketing and outreach. The types of strategies used
within each initiative area are listed below (see the literature review for detailed descriptions).
Curricular materials, instruction
and assessment
Career guidance and mentoring
 Gender-neutral curricula
 Guidance and counseling
 Alternative instructional
environments
 Role modeling

Marketing and outreach
 Marketing at the middle and
grade school levels
 Targeted recruitment
 Parent involvement
Limitations and Suggestions for Future Research
Much of the existing literature on nontraditional education is based on anecdotal information or unscientific summaries of program outcomes. In the absence of statistically rigorous research designed to
quantify student outcomes, it is impossible to assess the relative strengths and weaknesses of programs or
to identify factors that make a program unique from or more likely to succeed than other interventions.
Although reviews of the nationwide status of participation in nontraditional CTE programs suggest
that states are working towards improving gender equity, the current review found little evidence within
states of coordinated efforts at the state and local level to “shift the paradigm” towards a more inclusive,
equitable approach. For that matter, even at the local level, few conclusions can be drawn about the overall school climate that supports the gender equity efforts described in this review.
It is possible, however, that this gap in information reflects the general lack of documentation of
state and local efforts to increase gender equity, rather than an actual lack of coordination. Consequently,
it is conceivable that a different strategy to collect this information—structured telephone interviews or
mailed surveys, for example—might yield more useful information about states’ cohesive efforts to improve enrollment in and completion of nontraditional CTE programs.
Critical questions that need to be addressed by further research could include: Is there evidence that
supports the inclusion of nontraditional students in all types of programs? What gender-fair institutional
strategies exist at the school level? How do classroom-level efforts to implement nontraditional curricula
and encourage nontraditional participation connect with other school reform efforts?
Finally, due to a lack of published studies, this review is limited in its coverage of state and local
efforts to increase the participation of boys in CTE programs nontraditional for their gender. Moreover,
the current review focuses on secondary nontraditional CTE programs; it is conceivable that nontraditional CTE programs that target men in areas such as nursing exist primarily at the postsecondary level.

Section 2: Survey Analysis
To identify the barriers educators face in promoting nontraditional program enrollment and to assess the quality of support services currently available, IFWC researchers developed a survey for administration to CTE instructors attending the MDOE’s annual CTE conference (see Appendix B). The survey
also asked educators to inform MDOE of any concerns or issues not addressed in the survey and to identify any programs they believe to be exemplary.
The survey was administered by MDOE staff at their summer CTE conference, held June, 2004. A
total of 46 surveys were collected from a subset of school administrators and teachers attending the conference. Given the limited number of respondents, results from the survey analysis are neither representative of Massachusetts’s CTE educators, nor sufficient to make statistically significant statements about
educators’ experiences. Results can, however, be used to obtain a snapshot of what some educators think
about enrollment in nontraditional programs.
Results from the data suggest that increasing student participation in nontraditional programs, while
important, is not high on most educators’ list of priorities. Educators also appear to believe there are a
multitude of societal and cultural barriers inhibiting student participation in these programs. Survey respondents were “somewhat dissatisfied” with support services and resources provided to nontraditional
students. Some variation to these findings exists by type of respondent, region, cluster area and years of
educator experience. What follows are the major findings from the analysis.
General Findings
The CTE survey initially asked respondents to rate the need to increase student participation in and
completion of nontraditional using a scale of 1 = “no need” to 4 = “critical need.” On average, respondents rated the need to increase nontraditional services as 2.17 (table 1), suggesting that most were satisfied
with current program enrollment conditions.
The survey also asked respondents to rate several potential obstacles to student participation in nontraditional programs on a scale of 1 = “not a significant obstacle” to 5 = “significant obstacle.” Teachers
and administrators were most likely to rate external factors, such as peer pressure and family, cultural,
and societal factors as the greatest obstacles to student participation in nontraditional programs.
Factors that educators could control, such as classroom climate and teacher sensitivity, were generally not rated as presenting an obstacle to learning. Specifically, respondents ranked peer pressure from
_______
5
other students (3.52), family and personal background (3.67), societal expectations (3.54), and cultural
expectations (3.67) as the greatest obstacles to student participation in nontraditional programs (table 2).
Finally, the survey asked respondents to evaluate the quality of services or resources provided within their school or district to support students in nontraditional programs on a scale of 1 = “poor” to 5 =
“excellent.” Overall, respondents were somewhat unhappy with the quality of support services and resources provided to nontraditional students. Of the services and resources offered, respondents rated only
two—“recruitment efforts to encourage students to enroll” (3.13) and the “availability of non-gender biased materials” (3.05) as adequate. Respondents were least satisfied with the “level of state funding provided for nontraditional activities” (2.64) (table 6).
Instructional Category
A teacher, counselor or administrator may have varying opinions about nontraditional participation.
Consequently, survey respondents were asked to self-identify into one of five instructional categories—
CTE Instructor, Guidance Counselor, School Principal, District Superintendent, or Other. Where appropriate, individuals identifying themselves as “Other” were reassigned into the existing four categories or
into a fifth category, identified as “CTE Coordinator or Director.” A total of 5 respondents, employed in
either academic or administrative support fields, remained unassigned. Overall findings indicate extensive
variation in responses by respondent’s current position.
The largest proportion of survey respondents (43 percent) identified themselves as instructors. Just
over one-quarter (26 percent) described their position as a CTE coordinator or Director, with the remaining individuals distributed nearly evenly over the remaining instructional categories (table 1).
On average, CTE instructors rated the need to increase student participation in nontraditional programs lower than all other groups. Guidance Counselors reported the greatest need for improving student
participation, with a 2.67 average rating (figure 1).

When asked about the quality of support services and resources for nontraditional students, CTE instructors appeared generally satisfied with the quality of training they received to support students in nontraditional programs (3.21). In contrast, guidance counselors and superintendents appeared dissatisfied
with the quality of teacher training services provided (2.00 ranking for both groups) (table 6). CTE instructors were least satisfied with the level of state funding provided for nontraditional activities (2.82),
quality of training provided to guidance counselors (3.00), and quality of support services to retain nontraditional students once they enroll (3.00) (table 6).
Years of Experience
Survey respondents were also asked to self-identify the number of years they were employed in the
Massachusetts public school system—1 year; 2 to 4 years; 5 to 7 years; 8 to 10 years; or 11 or more years.
Findings indicate that teacher with the most years of experience were generally more concerned with increasing nontraditional participation and less satisfied with quality of support services and resources for
nontraditional students.
Nearly three-quarters of respondents have worked in the Massachusetts public school system for 11
or more years (72 percent) (table 3). Relative to other issues faced as an educator, individuals with 11 or
more years of experience were more likely to identify increasing nontraditional student participation as a
pressing concern (2.30) (table 3). Teaches and administrators with 11 or more years of experience were
generally less satisfied with the quality of support services or resources than teachers of lesser experience.
For example, on average teachers with 11 or more years of experience rated the quality of teacher training
_______
7
as less than adequate (2.71) compared to those with 1-year (4.00) and 2 to 4 years of experience (4.00)
(table 7).
Region
Survey respondents were asked to self-identify the region of the state in which they were located—
North, South, East, West, or Metro. Respondents were relatively evenly distributed throughout the state,
with the largest representation from the Southern (27 percent) and Northern (22 percent) regions. State
representation was lowest among educators from the East (13 percent) (table 3).
Relative to other issues faced as an educator, educators from the Northern and (2.30) and Eastern
(2.33) regions of the state were more likely to identify the need to increase nontraditional student participation as a pressing concern. Educators from the Southern region were least likely to identify nontraditional student participation as a pressing concern (1.92) (table 4).
Teachers and administrators located in the Metro region were more likely to rate sexual harassment
(3.29) as an obstacle, and less likely to rate teacher insensitivity (2.14), gender bias in curricular materials
(2.38), and an absence of role models (2.88) as obstacles to student participation in nontraditional programs than educators from all other regions (table 4).
Teachers and administrators from the South and Metro regions were on average more satisfied with
the quality of support services and resources to support students in nontraditional programs than those
from Northern, Eastern, or Western regions (table 8). With few exceptions, teachers and administrators
from the Western region of the state were less satisfied with the quality of support services. For example,
educators from the West provided an average ranking of only 2.44 for the availability of non-gender biased materials, compared to an average ranking of more than 3.00 or higher in other regions (table 8).
Cluster Area
Survey respondents were asked to identify the occupational cluster area in which they taught or, if
they were not employed as an instructor, the program areas offered in their school. Since respondents may
teach in or have multiple programs offered in their school, respondents may be double-counted in response categories.
More than one-half (57 percent) of survey respondents taught or were employed in school districts
that offered Construction programs (table 1). Other programs widely available included Health Services
(48 percent), Exploratory (46 percent) and Information Technology 43 percent).
Relative to other issues faced as an educator, instructors and administrators in schools offering Exploratory CTE programs were more likely (2.38) to rank the need to increase nontraditional student par_______
8
ticipation as a pressing issue (table 1). Instructors in Information Technology programs reported the lowest rankings (2.0).
Respondents who worked in the Business and Administration cluster were more likely to identify
peer pressure (3.88), sexual harassment (3.06), and unsupportive classroom climates (3.00) as obstacles to
student participation in nontraditional programs than educators working in other cluster areas (table 5).
With the exception of family/personal background and cultural or societal expectations, respondents in the Manufacturing cluster were less likely than those from other cluster areas to rate the identified
issues as presenting significant obstacles to student participation and completion of nontraditional programs (table 5).
Educators in the Business and Administration cluster were generally more satisfied with the quality
of training provided to teachers (2.94), counselors (2.60), and administrators (2.79) than those in other
cluster areas. These educators also were more likely to be satisfied with the availability of non-gender
biased materials (3.25), business and industry involvement (3.18), state technical support (3.00), and the
level of state funding for program services (2.75) (table 9).
Implications
It is clear that some educators are dissatisfied with the level of participation and the quality of services provided to nontraditional students, indicating that MDOE may wish to conduct a more representative survey of educators to clarify these findings. Irrespective of further data gathering efforts, these
findings nonetheless have implications for further action, particularly as they relate to findings from the
literature review.
Given the survey evidence that there are some perceived barriers to student participation in nontraditional programs, MDOE staff may wish to look nationwide for promising strategies that may be used to
increase student participation in programs nontraditional for their gender. Specifically, MDOE should
take a closer look at promising programs that use targeted marketing to increase student participation, as
well as interventions that have been used to overcome societal barriers to participation.

Section 3: Data Analysis
To assess patterns of student enrollment in CTE programs, along with state performance on selected Perkins performance measures, IFWC staff analyzed CTE program data provided by the state. Findings indicate that students who enroll in programs nontraditional for their gender perform either slightly
better or at least as well as their counterparts in regard to transition to postsecondary or work. Students
attending comprehensive high schools and Chapter 74 programs were also more likely than their counterparts to do so.
When reviewing findings, it is important to note that the 2002–2003 school year is the first year
certification data has been collected and as such caution should be taken when reviewing these data. Additionally, since females participate in nontraditional programs at higher rates than males, analysis results
may not fully capture the experience of males. Finally, findings indicate that schools are making progress
in increasing student enrollment in certain nontraditional programs.
Perkins Measures
In 2002–2003, 85 percent of nontraditional students completed CTE programs and graduated with a
diploma compared with 89 percent of their gender-neutral counterparts (table 10). Comprehensive and
vocational-technical schools also posted similar rates of graduation (89 percent respectively), as did
Chapter 74 and non-Chapter 74 programs (89–90 percent) (table 11).
Similar percentages of traditional and nontraditional students reported placement or transition to a
postsecondary institution or employment (96 percent each). No differences were found between comprehensive and vocational schools and between Chapter 74 and non-Chapter 74 programs in this regard.
However, nontraditional students were less likely than overall CTE students to report working in a related
employment (27 percent versus 34 percent) (figure 2). Conversely, nontraditional students were more
likely than overall CTE students to report working in non-related employment (21 percent versus 15 percent).

Generally, students participating in Chapter 74 programs were more likely than their counterparts in
non-Chapter 74 programs to earn certification (38 percent versus 4 percent, respectively) (table 11), as
might be expected given that Chapter 74 programs are more likely to provide training in fields that offer
certification opportunities.
In Massachusetts, among the CTE programs that are defined as nontraditional a variety of certificate programs exist, including those in health careers, construction trades, and information technology.
According to data provided by the MDOE, these programs outperform other programs on several employment-related measures. For example, students in these fields are more likely to earn certificates and
licenses. In the nontraditional set of CTE programs, 40 percent of graduates earn certificates or licenses,
compared with 12 percent of graduates of other programs.
Additionally, graduates of these fields are also more likely to enter related employment. Follow-up
surveys show that 47 percent of graduates from the nontraditional set of programs are in related employment, compared with 30 percent of graduates from other programs. Overall, graduates of the nontraditional set of programs that include carpentry, electrician, auto mechanic, cosmetology etc. are more likely
to enter related employment, most likely because of the specificity of skills that they obtain.
Finally, graduates who are employed in these nontraditional fields show higher average wages.
Graduates from the nontraditional set of programs who are employed in a related job earn an average of
$9.55 per hour, compared with $8.93 for graduates of other programs.
_______
12
This suggests that educators may wish to consider expanding nontraditional enrollment in CTE
programs not only for social reasons (i.e., to reduce gender bias in program choice) but for economic reasons as well, since these fields offer promising employment opportunities that should not be overlooked
by either gender.
Program Enrollment
In 2002–2003, approximately 11 percent of all career-technical students enrolled in nontraditional
programs (table 12). Among female CTE students, 13 percent enrolled in nontraditional programs while
among males CTE students only 5 percent did so. This pattern held true over the five years of data reported. For enrollment participation and completion rates by school see table 13.
Chapter 74 Programs
Chapter 74 nontraditional program enrollments were compared against state labor market nontraditional estimates to assess which CTE programs are enrolling nontraditional students at rates comparable
to or above the state labor market. Labor market occupations and CTE programs were matched using the
2000 CIP code database which provided a crosswalk of CIP codes used to classify secondary CTE programs to Census/SOC codes (used to classify occupations). In the few instances where matches were not
self evident, manual alignment of CIP and SOC codes was conducted.
When examining Chapter 74 programs, findings indicate certain programs are exceeding labor
market participation rates. The following programs were found to exceed labor market participation rates
by more than 10 percentage points (see table A below and table 14 for a full listing of schools).

Programs Nontraditional for Males and Females
In addition to analyzing program enrollment for nontraditional programs overall for each program
and for each school, analysis was also conducted by school for specific programs that are nontraditional
for males and females. Specifically, programs analyzed that are nontraditional for males include: cosmetology, childcare, and programs in the health services cluster. Programs analyzed that are nontraditional for females include: programs in the construction, information technology, manufacturing and
science/engineering and technical services. Tables 16 and 17 list program enrollment by school for each
of the programs listed above.
To assess the extent to which schools are preparing students for nontraditional careers, programs
were aggregated across schools. Findings suggest that of schools that offer these nontraditional programs,
the majority enroll students at below state average rates. For example, of the 32 schools offering cosmetology services, only 10 schools (31 percent) recorded enrollments above the state average for nontraditional enrollment (2.19 percent). Table D, below, illustrates the number of schools within each program
that enroll students at or above the state average. While some programs appear to have enrollment rates
substantially above the state average, in most cases these programs of study have a relatively low number
of schools offering such programs. For example, while 60 percent of schools offering medical assistant
programs were above the state average, only five schools were noted to offer these programs. It appears
_______
15
that while some schools are making progress in increasing enrollment, the vast majority of schools have
room for improvement.
Finally, to assess how effective schools are in providing nontraditional services, an analysis of nontraditional program offerings within schools was conducted (table 18). Generally, enrollment rates varied
across programs within schools, suggesting that it may be the action of an individual committed to improving nontraditional enrollment within a specific program area, rather than a school-wide reform strategy that accounts for increased enrollments within some sites. Further analysis of this state data, combined
with follow-up with schools evidencing above average rates of nontraditional student enrollment could
provide useful information for the state.

Section 4: Recommendations
The current literature review found little evidence within states of coordinated efforts at the state
and local level to “shift the paradigm” towards more inclusive, equitable nontraditional programs. At the
state level, findings from a quantitative analysis of program enrollment data, in conjunction with a survey
of state CTE administrators and teachers suggests that the Massachusetts’s Department of Education has a
number of opportunities to improve the provision of CTE programs serving nontraditional students.
Study recommendations include:
1. The educator survey methodology while limited, can nonetheless, be used to obtain a
snapshot of what some educators think about enrollment in nontraditional programs. Survey results indicate that MDOE should take a closer look at promising programs that use
targeted marketing to increase student participation, as well as interventions that have been
used to overcome societal barriers to student participation.
2. It appears that while some schools are making progress in increasing enrollments, the majority of schools have room for improvement. Enrollment rates varied across programs
within schools, suggesting that it may be the action of an individual committed to improving nontraditional enrollment within a specific program area, rather than a school-wide reform strategy that accounts for increased enrollments within some sites. Further analysis
of this state data, combined with follow-up with schools showing evidence of above average rates of nontraditional student enrollment could provide useful information.
3. MDOE staff may wish to develop new approaches to collect information on nontraditional
program operations. Current data collection efforts under Perkins do not provide detailed
information on program outcomes or instructional processes that may be used to improve
program provision. Structured telephone interviews or mailed surveys, for example—
might yield more useful information about states’ cohesive efforts to improve enrollment
in, and completion of, nontraditional CTE programs. MDOE staff may wish to conduct a

students to assist educators in understanding the importance of expanding nontraditional
enrollments.

Assessing Barriers to Nontraditional Student Participation in Secondary
Career and Technical (CTE) Programs
The Massachusetts Department of Education has contracted with MPR Associates, Inc. in Berkeley,
California to analyze nontraditional enrollment patterns in our state and make recommendations to the
Department on national and in-state best practices to increase the number of students entering high-wage
nontraditional careers.
The purpose of this survey is to obtain feedback from local educators on obstacles to student participation and completion of CTE programs that are nontraditional for their gender and to identify promising
programs that may be worthy of replication.
Nontraditional CTE programs are those that prepare students for careers in occupations or fields of
work including careers in computer science, technology and other emerging skill occupations, for which
individuals from one gender comprise less than 25 percent of the individuals employed in each such occupation or field of work.
A list of these programs is attached at the end of the survey.
Please return completed surveys before you leave the conference. If you have any questions about
the contract, please contact:
Steven Klein
MPR Associates Inc.
