Career Pathways and
Technical
Education Advisory Task Force
(Minnesota Session Laws 2013,
Chapter 116, Article 2, Section 18)
The 2013 Legislature charged MDE with
convening a 21-member Career Pathways
and Technical Education Advisory Task
Force to recommend ways to structurally
redesign secondary and postsecondary
education to:
• improve secondary and postsecondary
outcomes for students and adult learners;
• align secondary and postsecondary education
programs serving students and adult learners;
• align secondary and postsecondary education
programs and Minnesota’s workforce needs; and
• measure and evaluate the combined efficacy of
Minnesota’s public kindergarten through grade
12 and postsecondary education programs.
Fourteen of the 21 Task Force members were
appointed by various organizations:
Minnesota Association of Career and
Technical Administrators
Minnesota Association for Career
and Technical Education
National Research Center for Career
and Technical Education

The Task Force will consider how to:
•
Better inform students about career options, occupational
trends, and educational paths leading to viable and
rewarding careers and reduce the gap between the
demand for and preparation of a skilled Minnesota
workforce;
•
in consultation with a student’s family, develop and
periodically adapt, as needed, an education and work
plan for each student aligned with the student’s personal
and professional interests, abilities, skills, and
aspirations;
•
improve monitoring of high school students’ progress
with targeted interventions and support and remove
the need for remedial instruction;
•
increase and accelerate opportunities for secondary
students to earn postsecondary credits leading to a
certificate, industry license, or degree;
•
better align high school courses and expectations and
postsecondary credit-bearing courses;
•
better align high school standards and assessments,
postsecondary readiness measures and entrance
requirements, and the expectations of Minnesota
employers;
•
increase the rates at which students complete a
postsecondary certificate, industry license, or degree;
•
provide graduates of two-year and four-year
postsecondary institutions with the foundational skills
needed for civic engagement, ongoing employment, and
continuous learning.

Common Career Technical Core
www.careertech.org
State CTE Standards: General Findings
•
State approved CTE standards more common at secondary
than postsecondary
•
Most states describe CTE according to National Career
Clusters framework--few have adopted it in ways that
affects CTE instruction
•
Secondary CTE programs driven by Perkins monitoring;
postsecondary CTE programs are driven by accreditation
•
Nearly all states: programs of study with sequence of
courses secondary to postsecondary—few: post secondary
standards for POS.
•
Mismatch between current state CTE standards (seconday
course level) and CCTC, (end of program of study level).
Technical Skill Assessments
• “ A hand full of states have developed technical
skill assessments , aligned to the state CTE
standards…take into account relevant industry
standards…evaluate whether students have
mastered full range of knowledge and skills within
a CTE program of study…allows for
comparability… reinforces the use of CTE
standards…includes Minnesota”
State CTE Standards: Next Steps
• Fill the Postsecondary CTE Standards Gap
• Implementation of Standards with Fidelity
• Continued Progress on Programs of Study
• Implementation of the Common Career
Technical Core
State adoption/implementation
Common Career Technical Core
Formally adopt CCTC as anchor standardsrevise state standards
Adopt CCTC as new statewide CTE standards,
replace existing standards
Require CCTC as standards for state approved
Programs of Study
Require CCTC in state standards development
and revision.
http://www.careertech.org/career-technicaleducation/cctc/
State Formal Adoption:
Common Career Technical Core
• Adopt all Career Ready Practices.
• Adopt all career cluster and career pathway standards for
all career clusters and pathways used in the state.
• Establish CCTC as end of program of study standards that
bridge and impact CTE secondary and postsecondary
standards curriculum and courses.
• Address related policies impacted by the new standards
and/or to ensure implementation of the new standards.

Reporting Requirements and Issues
Required Use of Assessments
Beginning in FY15 each consortium
should be testing in at least seven
Programs of Study (including one
Rigorous POS) using a state
approved assessment instrument.
Reports and Improvement Plans
Report Required
If the TSA core indicator at secondary (2S1) or
postsecondary (1P1) does not meet the negotiated
target, but it is at or above the 90% level
Improvement Plan Required
•
If a District is testing, but secondary TSA data
are not reported
OR
•
The secondary or postsecondary core indicator is
below 90% of the negotiated target
TSA and PSEO/Dual Credit/
Concurrent Enrollment
•
•
School Districts are responsible for ensuring that
data for secondary students assessed at
postsecondary through PSEO or concurrent
enrollment are included in the secondary data
submission.
If the secondary TSA results are also part of the
data collected system-wide for postsecondary
concentrators, the data will be included in
consortia results for both 2S1 and 1P1.
