What’s New in CTE Research?
Programs of Study NRCCTE has three longitudinal studies and completed
one descriptive study examining the implications and effects of POS.
Academic Achievement Two research projects examined methods of increasing
the academic skills of secondary CTE students (Authenticity Literacy in CTE and Science in CTE).
One study collected data on programs to improve the achievement and retention of postsecondary occupational students.
ROI Return on Investment study. Hollenbeck (2011)

Return on InvestmentHollenbeck concluded: Participants in CTE programs reaped
substantial returns-positive earnings-with almost nil or negative costs for secondary CTE.
At the postsecondary level, any associated participation costs (tuition, foregone earnings) were more than outweighed, even over the short term, by the economic payoffs of participating in CTE.

Where Can I Get the Facts?
ACTE Updated Facts Sheets CTE related jobs are in high demand CTE meets individual and community
economic needs CTE engages students and lower the dropout
rate CTE increases student achievement

So, where are we?

Dropout Rate 76% of public high school students in US
earn a diploma within four years of entering the 9th grade
This is more than 1 million students per year

Our Response as a Nation The great majority of states have
increased graduation requirements Most state have adopted the college prep
default curriculum We all have high stakes exit exams

Academic Achievement The National Research Council concluded
that high school exit exams have decreased high school graduation rates in the United States by 2 percentage points without increasing achievement.

Chicago Public Schools Adopted the “default college preparatory curriculum”
in 1997 Results
Increase number of students in college-prep classes Test scores did not rise Students were no more likely to take advanced math classes
beyond Algebra 2 Students no more likely to complete advanced science
classes Grades declined Failures increased Absenteeism rose among average and higher-skilled
students No improvement in college outcomes

What do we need? We need to keep kids in school…and

Morrison Institute Study Education is one of the top three issues
along with immigration and jobs They support education but are critical of
our K-12 system—41% say it is poor or very poor
They want more “voc ed”—64% They want greater emphasis on math and
science—60%

How do we keep kids in school and Ensure Positive Outcomes? The problem: Most frequent reason for
leaving school is that classes are not interesting (The Silent Epidemic)
The solution: CTE increases attendance, raises completion rates, improves earnings and employment prospects. Holds true for international comparisons as well. (NRCCTE)

What type of education makes sense?
A place where academic skills are taught in the context of subjects in which students are interested.
A place where they can apply learning. A place where students get a chance to
spend time in the work place developing career specific skills and soft skills.
A place where they can learn social and leadership skills.
