Final Agreed Upon Performance Level Worksheet (FAUPL). This is the template for the annual FAUPL.
Districts will negotiate targets with their Chancellor’s Office program monitor. Perkins CTE Core Indicator Reports
contains current and past fiscal year negotiation reports necessary for completing the FAUPL and the core
indicator reports necessary for completing the Perkins online Local Application. The Negotiation Process explains
the process for negotiating those performance targets and the tools that the Chancellor’s Office has developed to
facilitate that negotiation. The FAUPL worksheet provides the foundation for the negotiation process. The state
target in column 2 of the worksheet has been populated. Please note: you are advised to leave the Indicator 4
(Employment) blank until the Employment Data is updated in the reports. Further instructions will follow.
The worksheet must be completed by the district and sent by email to the district's Chancellor's Office project
monitor for approval. Negotiations begin in early April and must be completed by May 15, 2012.
SB 1070: Proposed Bill to Reauthorize SB 70
This bill is the proposed reauthorization of SB 70 and would establish the Career Technical Education Pathways
Program until June 30, 2018. It requires the Chancellor of the California Community Colleges and the California
Superintendent of Public Instruction to assist economic and workforce regional development centers and
consortia, middle schools, high schools, and regional occupational centers and programs to improve linkages and
career technical education pathways between high schools and community colleges. Contracts and competitive
grants would be administered jointly by the Chancellor and the Superintendent for programs and initiatives that
demonstrate a plan for close collaboration among regional institutions and entities to jointly accomplish specified
goals. The following link provides the language of SB 1070.

Applications Due for Round Two of TAACCCT Grants
The U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) is soliciting applications for its second round of competitive Trade Adjustment
Assistance Community College and Career Training (TAACCCT) grants totaling $500M nationwide. The DOL is
implementing the TAACCCT program in partnership with the Department of Education. Applications are due May
24, 2012.
These funds will provide community colleges and other eligible institutions of higher education with funds to
expand and improve their ability to deliver education and career training programs that can be completed in two
years or less, are suited for workers who are eligible for training under the TAA for Workers program, and prepare
program participants for employment in high-wage, high-skill occupations. The primary intent of this second
TAACCCT is to meet the educational or career training needs of workers who have lost their jobs or are
threatened with job loss as a result of foreign trade. Grant details can be found at http://www.doleta.gov/taaccct/
This grant requires five “core elements” that must be addressed by all applicants, regardless of their focus or
priority: 1) evidence-based design, 2) stacked and latticed credentials, 3) online and technology-enabled learning,
4) transferability and articulation, and 5) strategic alignment. As Martha Kanter, Under Secretary of the U.S.
Department of Education, explained, “…There are ‘islands of excellence’ all over this state and all over this
country, but we haven’t been able to scale these.”
Vice Chancellor Van Ton-Quinlivan will issue an official memo on Friday, April 6, with more information and
specific instructions for requesting a Chancellor’s Office letter of endorsement. For further information contact,

CTE Employment Outcomes Project Update
Initiated at the spring 2011 CCCAOE Conference, the purpose of this statewide pilot project is to address the
current lack of data to validate the impact of CTE programs. By scaling Cabrillo and other college CTE
completer/leaver surveys, the pilot project planned to refine the methodology prior to implementation of a statewide
survey. 98 individuals took part during the project planning and development stage, representing roughly 35
colleges,7 community college districts, 3 Economic and Workforce Development Initiatives, the RP Group and
Chancellor’s Office staff.
Project Timeline (as of 3/27/12)





In the fall of 2011, the Project began with 14 pilot colleges/districts sending signed MOUs to the RP Group.
In Nov 2011, the RP Group worked with the Chancellors Office to pull 2009/2010 cohort data.
By January 31, 2012, 12 pilot colleges/districts provided contact information and any other necessary data
to RP Group with 2 colleges still finalizing.
In Feb 2012 the RP Group invoiced pilot colleges.
In Mar-Apr 2012 the survey will be administered on behalf of the 14 pilot colleges/districts.
In May 2012 RP Group will analyze the results.
In June 2012 individualized reports & data will be sent to pilot colleges and an aggregate report released
to the field
In July 2012 a statewide call will be convened to present statewide data and show how the data is being
presented to colleges, for purposes of refining this information.
Sept. 2012 is the deadline for colleges/districts to commit to broader survey.
Chancellor’s Office Career Education Practices Unit: We encourage colleges and/or districts that
wish to participate in this Project to use their Perkins 2012-2013 Title I-C Across CTE Programs
funds for this purpose.
In Jan-Feb 2013 a broader survey with more colleges will be launched. Colleges/districts that wish to
participate in the 2012-13 survey must first populate the 2012-13 CTE Employment Outcomes Survey link.
Up-to-date information can be accessed online at: CTE Employment Outcomes Project For more information on
how to participate in the Project, contact Kitty O'Doherty at kitodoherty@gmail.com or call (650) 560-9798.
Statewide Pathways Program of Study Templates
The Statewide Pathways project is bringing together secondary and postsecondary faculty to develop Program of
Study Templates to be used statewide as a basis for local discussions at colleges that are using the Transfer
Model Curriculum. Ultimately, the goal is to provide a statewide template for a student that wants to move through
a seamless program from grades 9 through 16, using the TMC as the vehicle for completion. In the event that you
are not familiar with the TMC work, Transfer Model Curriculum (TMC) are programs that have been developed in
alignment with SB1440 regulations and essentially allow community college students to take 60 units at the CC
and no more than 60 units at the CSU or UC to receive their Bachelor’s Degree. Faculty Discipline Resource
Groups (FDRG) were the groups that developed the TMCs for statewide implementation. This came out of the
Academic Senate work with the Course Identification and Numbering project (CID).
Follow this link to open the poll: http://www.doodle.com/i3gwh9niqcpp353r6xns6ikb/private Please note that this is
a personal link that cannot be shared with other poll participants. This Doodle poll will report your willingness and
availability to participate in any of the meetings listed below:
April 23, 24, or 25

Articulation is a critical piece of the program of study puzzle, so it is imperative that a CTE Transition coordinator
be on each team. If you are interested in being a part of this process or have questions, please call or email: Kris

REPORTS AND STUDIES
Delivering STEM Education through Career and Technical Education Schools and Programs
This paper seeks to identify which CTE delivery systems (e.g., schools), programs, and curricular and pedagogic
strategies promote and enhance the learning of STEM subjects. It also examines the extant research on STEMfocused CTE with special attention given to the needs of diverse learners.

Can California Compete? Reducing the Skills Gap and Creating a Skill Workforce through Linked Learning
California is falling behind when it comes to preparing its future workforce in a global economy. To stem this tide
and close the growing skills gap, policy-makers should make sure we are spending our education dollars on what
really works and include changes that will ensure young people enter the workforce with skills California
businesses need. State school districts should be granted greater flexibility to incorporate Linked Learning into
their high schools utilizing their existing resources, and state funding for districts that have incorporated such an
education approach, including approximately 500 existing California Partnership Academies, must also be
protected. As the California economy rebounds, the state should make greater investments in Linked Learning.
