Teri BeltEMIS Specialist, MVCTC

1991◦ Ohio launched “Tech Prep”

An advanced standing CTE program that emerged out of the Federal Perkins Vocational Act

CTE Articulated credit introduced 2008-2013

◦ Perkins IV State Plan, ODE pledged to transition all high school CTE programs to Tech Prep Standards by June, 2013 CTE Bilateral Articulated credit/CTE Proficiency

credit 2014

◦ College Credit Plus established by ORC, chapter 3365 established and effective September 15, 2014

History Lesson

Developed to create high school-to-college CTE program to promote a seamless transition

◦ CTE secondary instructors and college faculty worked together to identify content taught at secondary level that

qualified as post-secondary learning

◦ Agreements were formed between partnering school entities secondary to post-secondary

◦ These agreements were the initial CTE Articulation Credit Agreements between entities

◦ No EMIS reporting elements identified

Tech Prep - 1991

2008-2013 Perkins IV The Tech Prep initiative was so successful,

ODE began the process to formally address the CTE Articulation Agreements

◦ All CTE programs were required to offer at least one opportunity for students to earn college credit while in high

school

◦ These credits became the Bilateral Articulated Credits.

◦ EMIS element on the Course Master was required to be reported

◦ The 2008-2009 Program of Study was added to the CTE-26 to identify these programs/courses that offered the college credit

opportunities

EMIS Element CN300◦ CTE College Credit Element

Indicates if a career-technical course provides an opportunity for students to earn college credit.

This element is only reported with a non-default (YES) value for Career Technical courses that meet the definition of this element and some type of formal agreement exists between the district and the college that indicates the course is eligible for college credit (e.g., dual/concurrent enrollment (now CC+), articulated credit, Career-Technical Credit Transfer (CT2)). The value in this element will be used in the calculation of one of the performance measures for CTE programs related to courses that earn both high school and college credit.

2008-2013 Perkins IV

This is part of the Prepared for Success - Dual Enrollment Component for the CTE Report Card

◦ Overall grade will be issued on the CTE Report Card ◦ Must meet definition to be reported and reflected correctly

Career-Technical Assurance Guides are postsecondary and secondary advising tools. Identifies the courses within a pathway that can transfer to any public college statewide

BY 2010, 27 CTAGS had become part of the statewide transfer guarantee

Verification Form used by students to obtain the credits for transfer◦ Completed by the secondary CTE instructor and

secondary school◦ Sent to post-secondary admissions office for review

and acceptance by the secondary school Go to your Tech Prep Consortium website to download form

CTAG (CT2) Credits

Unlike the CTAG credits that are accepted statewide◦ Bilateral agreements limit the students ability to receive

credits only to specific colleges that have entered into an agreement with the secondary CTE program

◦ Standard Forms vary by Tech Prep Consortium◦ Not required to appear on HS Transcript◦ Districts take on burden to document these credits

Bilateral Articulation Credit

Where do I start?◦ CTE-26◦ Tech Prep Transmittal Form

Create document to collect Associate College Name College Course Attempted College Credit Type Semester Hours Earned High School Course Name HS Grade Earned HS Percentage Grade Earned Student SSID

CTAG/Bilateral Articulated Credits

Clear communication between district, instructors, students, parents as to how many credits and types of credits students can have the potential to earn while in your course

Marketing for your programs Start to familiarize your districts with these terms

for future utilization of the data

Why keep track of these CTE credits?

MVCTC is developing a document to use as an internal communication tool between different partners within our district

Sample Document

New for 2015-2016 for JVSD’s to report CCP Traditionally reported for academic courses

◦ Rule of Thumb: If the course is CTE CTAG, CTE Bilateral Articulated,

or CTE Proficient, then it is not College Credit Plus. EMIS records:

◦ FS Standing◦ Courses/course sections◦ CORE Summary records

Look to your ITC for additional training/information
