Back to School 2013 What is happening at your campus to help CTE students be successful? CTE and Academics: Accountability Measures • Thus, CTE teachers share responsibility for the academic achievement of CTE students and take responsibility to strengthen academic integration activities, based on performance data generated by the accountability system. • School districts are required to analyze performance data, research effective integration strategies and develop a plan to improve the academic performance of its CTE students. A lot of the accountability information is based on CTE Student Indicator Codes 2 or 3 Back to School 2013 • As soon as a CTE student enrolls in a CTE course that is part of a sequence of courses, the accountability system identifies the student as a CTE student.

Big Picture! Back to School 2013 Demographics found in CTE • individuals with disabilities; • individuals from economically disadvantaged families, including foster children; • individuals preparing for non-traditional fields; • single parents, including single pregnant women; • displaced homemakers; and • individuals with limited English proficiency. Back to School 2013 Special Populations • Teach students language and strategies when they don’t know what to say. • Encourage students to speak in complete sentences. • Randomize and rotate who is called on so students of all language levels can participate. • Use response signals for students to monitor their own comprehension. • Use visuals and a focus on vocabulary to build background. • Have students participate in structured reading activities. • Have students participate in structured conversation and writing activities. Back to School 2013 LEP Students – Strategies What are Nontraditional Fields? • Nontraditional courses are defined as occupations or fields of work, including careers in computer science, technology, and other emerging high 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. • The courses were selected because, for the most part, they are occupationally specific courses in which the enrollment of one gender falls below 25 percent. • Gender enrollments in the courses are reviewed annually at the state and local levels as part of the Carl D. Perkins reporting process. • List on TEA website (2005) • A more current list in the 2013 PBMAS Manual pg. 91 • Listed by gender and include PEIMS number and course name Back to School 2013 • The federal Carl D. Perkins law requires states to measure participation in nontraditional courses. • Core Indicators on Nontraditional CTE • Participation in CTE programs preparing students for nontraditional fields • Completion of CTE programs preparing students for nontraditional fields Back to School 2013 Perkins Act Accountability • Are you a career and technical education teacher who works with special populations?
