It’s an economic issue when the unemployment rate for folks who’ve never gone to college is almost double what it is for those who have gone to college. It’s an economic issue when eight in 10 new jobs will require workforce training or a higher education by the end of this decade. It’s an economic issue when countries that out-educate us today are going to out-compete us tomorrow. – President Obama, July 2010

District Five Focus Areas

• Math • English • Special Education • AVID • English Language Learners

The Engineering programs have already demonstrated a high post-secondary educational enrollment rate as compared to all Career Technical Education programs in the district as well as in comparison to the AVID program that has been implemented district-wide. The data is repeated below in chart form to further illustrate this significant achievement.

• Our Career Technical Education Programs have effectively supported the closing of the achievement gap for all sub-groups qualifying as “at risk” or “underrepresented”. • Students in our programs have consistently improved their standardized test scores and have more than doubled the achievement rates in the State of California. • The chart below illustrates this growth and compares our programs’ students to the State of California’s data as demonstrated through the California High School Exit Exam (Cahsee):

Data

Carl D. Perkins Career and Technical Education Improvement Act of 2006

• Supplemental federal funding for career-technical education

• Nine mandatory program goals:• Integration of core academic

and CTE skills• Integration of All Aspects of

the Industry and work-based learning

• Embedded use of technology (both industry and computer) for teachers and students

• High-quality, sustained, intensive professional development for teachers, counselors, and administrators to meet program goals

• Assessment of the programs, including meeting needs of special populations students (6 types)

• Prepare special populations students for high-wage, high-skill, or high-demand occupations leading to self-sufficiency

• Initiate, improve, expand, or modernize quality CTE programs

• Provide effective CTE services of sufficient size and scope

• Create and maintain post-secondary connections

Core Indicators to Review Effectiveness of CTE Programs

• 1S1, Academic Attainment- Reading/Language Arts (proficient or above on CAHSEE): state level 23.0%

• 1S2, Academic Attainment- Mathematics (proficient or above on CAHSEE): state level 22.0%

• 2S1, Technical Skill Attainment (grade of “C” or better): state level 53%

• 3S1, Secondary School Completion (12th grade grads/certificate/GED): state level 85.5%

Core Indicators - continued

• 4S1, Student Graduation Rate: 83.20% state level

• 5S1, Secondary Placement: 78% state level• 6S1, Non-traditional Participation (under-represented genders in specific occupational areas): 23% state level

• 6S2, Non-traditional Completion: 18% state level

Carousel Activity• In groups, take a marker with you, and visit

each of the “data stations” • Write down a factual statement about one of

the following elements for each station (try to add something new to what’s already there):

• What the data “say” or mean; or • What the data don’t “tell” us; or• What additional info would you need or like to see

to analyze? or• What is the good news depicted? or• What needs improvement?

Follow-up Discussion• Return to your tables• Take a “role” card – don’t share its contents

with others at your table• With the data statements provided, go through

each of the five “framework” questions from the carousel activity, and review – does anything else need to be added?

• Be “in character” as you discuss• Choose a “reporter” for the group• Share out your group’s results with the rest of

the room (not “in character”)• What are the most important points surfaced

during your discussions?

Data Follow-up• Using Data to Improve Learning for All• Five-step data cycle:

1 - Build FoundationsShared vision, values, parameters

2 - ID Student Learning Issue

Focus for reviewData Research

3 - Verify CausesData Research4- Generate

SolutionsResearch, best prax, Logic Model

5 - ImplementMonitor

Achieve ResultsData Research

Data Research

Why Are the Data Important?• Evidence of successes• Evidence of need for

improvement – help begin collaborative inquiry, not blame

• Preparation for college and career readiness benchmarks

“We use data to move from a culture of blame to a culture of wonder. We wonder why something is – or is not – occurring rather than ascribing blame. This wonder leads us to ask better questions and attempts to get at the causes of behavior.”

• Kay McClenney

What Is Career Readiness?

• ACTE White Paper• Achieve White Paper• Jigsaw reading activity – in groups, then share out

Jigsaw Activity Framework Questions• What are 3 recommended skill sets for students to acquire in order to be career-ready?

• How do these skills differ from those required for college readiness?

• How do students benefit from being both college and career ready?

• How will you act to prepare students for both college and career readiness?

Quick-Write Write free-form for 3 minutes on your response to this prompt:

• How will the “career readiness” movement affect the day-to-day lives of my students in the coming five years? Will it prepare them for jobs of the future? Why or why not?

Looking Forward: 2010 - 2020“A huge portion of the highest paying jobs in the next 10 years will be served across the wire, with

less and less dependence on physical location.” - Brent Frei, www.xconomy.com

Jobs that are at risk by 2020…

• Store Clerks – replaced by online shopping, self-service scanners, robotic shelf-stackers

• Soldiers – replaced by unmanned combat vehicles, air and ground. But, fighter pilot job may be the first to go.

• Bank Tellers – replaced by ATM’s and online banking
