The Time is Right for CTE
CTE can have a meaningful role to play in school reform.
•President Obama asks every American to commit to at least one year or more of higher education or career training.•NYS Commissioner John King, sent a message about CTE’s importance to NYSSBA•Beginning to establish that CTE programs and technical assessments are rigorous and of high quality.•CTE has the ability to reach more students through the program approval process•Call for college and career readiness through the Common Core State Standards

Integrated Academics
• Prepare students for success with CCSS and on application-based NGAs.
• Support learners who may be struggling in traditional content-area courses.
• Prepare students for college readiness and Accuplacer or other assessments.
• Allows for distributed credits, which can open up a student’s schedule.

Now is not the time for CTE to Circle the Wagons
• Academic teachers are realigning and redesigning curriculum.
• Demonstrate the rigor and relevance of Career and Technical Education.
• CTE relevancy, especially in times of tight budgets.
• College and Career partners asking for these kinds of skills.
• Alignment benefits the student through relevance and combining disciplines.
30
Successful Practices Network

Priorities for CTE
• Get to know the Common Core State Standards and State Learning Standards.
• Review your own curriculum.• Scan standards and your curriculum for obvious links.• Gather feedback from stakeholders.• Determine which standards fit best into your curriculum.• Create curriculum maps, crosswalks, and lesson plans.• Teach the integrated lessons.• Evaluate the lessons and revise as necessary.
31
Successful Practices Network

For CTE to FlourishCTE Leaders Must
• develop and reinforce with both rigor and relevance the academic standards that are tested on state assessments by embedding and reinforcing these skills in CTE courses
• find meaningful ways to equip students with the competencies that employment requires

Perkins Funding
• President’s budget level funds Perkins at the 2012 level. $1.1 Billion is a fine accomplishment.
• Would prefer funding back at the 2011 level – 7% more
• Other CTE related funding – Career academies $1billion; College and Career Care Fund and American Job Act $8 billion
Successful Practices Network

Administration’s CTE Blue Print
• Bridge HS, college and workplace. • Meet college and career ready programs
standards that are equivalent. • Increase work study programs - Obama has
suggested more funding.• More rigorous standards and measures. • Innovation should be built into CTE.
Successful Practices Network

Goal to Strengthen Alignment of CTE with Business and Economic Needs
No more separate allocations to secondary and post-secondary Competitive grants will fund the strongest and most proven strategies directed to workbased
learning and at risk pops create a better accountability system. Common definition for participants and performance
measures Fewer measures that align well to higher Ed act, employment programs Performance accountability data and reward programs for performance provide competitive
resources for innovation competitive discretionary funds to test new ideas what would focus on priority areas -
disconnected youth and role of CTE, new solutions and technology applications Introducing pay for success, pay someone else to pay, agree on services, reach goals then the
government reimburses the person who paid.

Work Experience Coordinators Can…..
• Talk about Perkins funding and CTE’s return on investment
• Take business and policy makers to visit programs – they want to hear about filling jobs
• Relate how CTE is having an impact on business in your communities
• Show value CTE adds to local economy
