I.                 Career and Technical Education Enrollment Trends

 

The requirements mandating public school districts to make career and technical education (CTE) instruction available to all New York State students are in both Education Law (§ 4662) and in Section 100.2 (h) (1) of the Regulations of the Commissioner of Education. They specify that public school districts must make available, and allow students to complete, both three-unit and five-unit approved sequences in CTE studies.

      Trend analysis has become increasingly difficult since 2000 as the number of schools submitting data has declined from 530 to 235. The sharpest drop occurred in the most recent data when the number of reporting schools or BOCES went from 402 in the 2003-04 school year to 235 in 2004-05. This drop may be attributable to the elimination of some local educational agency programs and/or sub-optimal data reporting. It is also important to note that CTEDS data only captures the enrollment levels of students participating in CTE sequenced programs. It does not capture the number of students who may take CTE courses as discrete electives.

Enrollment in CTE by Students with Disabilities (SWD): Until 2003-04, there was a steady increase in CTE participation by high school students with disabilities from 27.8% in 1999-2000 to 29.0% in 2002-2003. However, in 2003-04, participation declined slightly to 24.6%. Trend data for 2004-05 is based on a much smaller number of schools reporting.

Schools continue to address how to meet revised graduation requirements and encourage students to continue pursuing CTE programs. CTEDS data shows that, from 1999 to 2004, over 24% of students enrolled in CTE were students with disabilities. In addition, appropriate programming for “gray area” students is especially challenging for schools. “Gray area” students are those who are not eligible for alternate assessment, but who continue to have difficulty with the Regents requirements. CTE may be an appropriate avenue to enhance outcomes for these students.

 

Changes to CTE programs were intended to address the question of time to allow students to take integrated or specialized courses and combine academic and career/technical skills and content. These changes were designed to promote and upgrade career and technical education programs in the State. Beginning with the graduation class of June 2002, students earning a Regents or local diploma could receive a technical endorsement if they successfully completed an approved CTE program, including a technical assessment. This option will continue to be available for local diploma recipients, as long as the local diploma is offered under the safety net.

 

Many students working towards an Individualized Education Program (IEP) diploma participate in CTE courses. A CTE Skills Achievement Profile documents student accomplishments in an area of concentration within a career major. This profile enables the student with an IEP diploma to provide a potential employer and/or postsecondary program with documentation of the career and technical skills proficiency level acquired. The skills (Universal Foundation/career specific) documented are aligned with the New York State Career Development and Occupational Studies (CDOS) learning standards.

 

The New York City CTE Admission Process: New York City residents ages 16-20 may attend career and technical education programs. The application process is driven by student preference. Those applying to the specialized high schools are required to take separate entrance exams and/or audition. Applications are ranked by reviewers who do not know the student’s order of preference. Students are then matched with a school that appears highest on their list. Two other rounds of ranking exist to ensure placement of all students.

 

A prospective student wishing to enter a CTE program in a comprehensive New York City public high school may do so through the main round of the high school application process. CTE schools and programs select students either through an Educational Option or Screened Program. In the former, students list the 12 schools and programs they are interested in attending and learning.  Fifty percent of the students are chosen by school personnel and the other fifty percent are randomly selected by a computer and follow a distribution pattern based upon the applicant’s seventh grade standardized reading test scores.

III.       Approved v. Non-approved Programs

 

The CTE program approval process ensures that the elements of the Regents policy on career and technical education approved by the Board of Regents on February 6, 2001 are included in CTE programs for which Department approval is sought. Although not mandatory, schools are encouraged to pursue program approval for all of their CTE offerings. Some programs operate without submitting their programs for approval simply because they are not able to meet one of the required components (e.g., lack of an appropriate technical assessment, or articulation agreement). Programs that have not been submitted for Department approval are most accurately termed “non-approved” or “not yet submitted for approval” and are in no way construed as “disapproved” programs.

IV.      Technical Assessments

 

Technical assessments based on recognized industry and national standards are essential tools in CTE programs. The results of these assessments document student performance based on the most current industry standards and provide feedback to the school district/BOCES. Successful completion of a technical assessment is required for a student to earn a technical endorsement on the high school diploma, but is not a requirement for high school graduation.

 

          The technical assessment required of approved CTE programs is defined in Commissioner’s Regulations [100.5(d)(6)(ii)(b)] as:

 

                    …an industry-developed assessment consisting of written

 examination(s), student project(s) and student demonstration(s)

 of technical skills to measure proficiency in a specific technical

 field through the application of national standards in such

 technical field.

 

The Department does not approve, endorse, or certify any technical assessment. Students in the approved CTE program must pass an industry-approved technical assessment, and the five Regents examinations to earn a technical endorsement on their diploma.

V.       Business and Industry Support for CTE Programs

 

Structural: The Regents policy emphasizes the willingness of business and industry to participate in program development. CTE program approval requires the availability of work-based learning opportunities, preparation for industry-based assessments and training in the most current business/industry-based technologies. Since this is the case, close partnerships with business and industry are required for program design and implementation. Each partnership represents a structural linkage of a CTE program to a supporting business and industry such as:

         

·       The New York State Society of Certified Public Accountants has provided high school seniors with a new accounting curriculum that provides them with skills and competencies needed to succeed in a college level accounting program.

·       The New York Credit Union Foundation is a State sponsor of a national competition, “Life Smarts,” which helps students acquire skills in personal finance, consumer rights and responsibilities, workplace protections and other financial literacy topics.

 

Experiential: Industry assists schools by providing work-based learning experience for students. Through this activity, students integrate their school-based learning with general workplace competencies as well as the skills and knowledge required for specific jobs. For example:

 

·       Hundreds of employers provide real-world work experiences and mentoring opportunities at work-based learning sites external to the school setting.

·       Accessible work-based learning experiences are provided for students with disabilities.

·       Healthcare agencies provide clinical experiences for all students enrolled in health occupations programs. The New York State Area Health Education Center System has collaborated with schools across the State to provide summer internships, camps and guest speakers for students enrolled in health occupation programs.

 

Direct:  High levels of tangible support are found in many CTE programs and donations of equipment are common. Examples include:

 

·       Washington-Saratoga-Warren-Hamilton-Essex BOCES received a donation of airport screening equipment.

·       The New York Credit Union Foundation has partnered with CTE staff in the Department to create a program that provides free subscriptions to a financial literacy publication geared to high school students.

·       A food science program in Hudson High School has received food donations from Ginsberg’s Inc., a food wholesaler.

 

Business and Industry Support of CTE Programs in New York City: At last count, there are more than 106 schools that have established partnerships with 37 postsecondary institutions and 452 business-industry and governmental agencies. Examples include partnerships in the following areas:

 

·       Construction: There are 12 New York City Department of Education (NYCDOE) schools connected to the construction industry (see Attachment C, Table C-1). In a recent survey conducted by Construction Skills 2000 (CS2K), it was found that 300 of the 352 apprentices (including NYCDOE high school graduates) placed in CS2K from January 2001 through early 2004 remained actively employed in the industry as apprentices or journey persons.

·       Virtual Enterprise (VE): VE is a simulated business that is established and managed by students under the guidance of a teacher-facilitator and a business partner. The Virtual Enterprise industry partnerships provide guidance to VE students on their CTE career portfolio plans, job shadowing, staff professional development, internships and mentorships for teachers and students. Involved participants are shown in Tables C-2 and C-3 in Attachment C.

·       Finance and Hospitality/Tourism: The Academies of Finance (AOF) and Hospitality and Tourism (AOHT) represent a partnership between the public and private sectors working to bring academic learning and real-world applications together. In 2005, 95% of Academy graduates went on to postsecondary learning.The National Endowment for Financial Education (NEFE) provided students with interactive textbooks (at no cost) on financial literacy and students received certificates upon completion of the course from NEFE. The New York State Society of Certified Public Accountants (NYSSCPAs) provided a five-day training seminar in accounting at a postsecondary institution where students stayed overnight in dormitories and visited related courses. AOF and AOHT business partnerships are shown in Tables C-4 to C-7 in Attachment C.

·       Information Technology: Programs such as Cisco Networking Academy (CNAP), Academy of Information Technology (AOIT), and the Oracle Academy (OA) are comprehensive e-learning programs that provide students with Internet technology skills essential in an information economy.  AOIT students are required to attend annual events such as career days, interview workshops, training sessions, as well as participate in a summer paid internship in companies such as Oracle, Accenture, Avanade, MOUSE, Citigroup, NYCDOE and Ziff Davis Media.

·       Practical nursing: Programs within the NYCDOE provide health care career internships in partnership with various hospitals, medical centers and nursing homes (see Table C-8 in Attachment C). Upon completion of these programs, students become eligible to receive certification and/or licensure needed for entry level nursing and other health care employment.

·       Aviation: Federal Express donated a retired 727-100 jet to Aviation High School creating an opportunity for students in the airframe and powerplant program to enhance their hands-on experience in aircraft maintenance technology. These students are also given a discount on their written and practical certification examinations. The number of students receiving this discount has increased by 22% since 2004.

·       Automotive: Mercedes Benz and Toyota donated cars and engine parts to Automotive High School. Other support includes curriculum design assistance for the Welding and Auto Body Repair program from Knights Wrecking and Collision Company.

·       Cosmetology: The hair and styling business Tendrills provided training to four CTE instructors in Natural Hair Styling where they were the first in New York State to receive certifications in this area.  

 

 

VI.      Economic/Job Market Needs

 

Alignment with industry standards begins early in the CTE program approval process. All approved programs have documented how course content is aligned with academic learning standards and business/industry standards through a structured process that relies on business participation in the self-study and external review processes. Partner agencies are encouraged to include representatives from businesses, industries and unions from the program area and the Local Workforce Investment Board/Youth Council in early planning.

 

Self-Study: The self-study activity is required for all existing programs and new programs seeking approval as a CTE program. Its purpose is to bring together partners to review the CTE program, propose relevant modifications, and evaluate the degree to which the program meets both the State learning standards, current industry standards and job market needs.

 

The curriculum review is often referred to as a curriculum “crosswalk.” For many school districts/BOCES, it is the first step in the CTE program approval process. The development of the crosswalk gives rise to an outline that will be reviewed by an external committee. The outline must clearly show how the overall CTE program content:

 

·       is directly related to work-based learning experience options available to students;

·       will target business and industry skill standards that students will attain through program completion; and

·       will prepare students for successful completion of a technical assessment, and placement in postsecondary education, employment, training, and/or the military.

 

External Review: Business guidance in the development of CTE curricula and provision of work-based learning opportunities is most clearly present in this step of the process. Membership on the external review committee will vary according to the type of program and other needs of the school district/BOCES. Membership includes representatives from business and industry of the career area under review. Labor representatives also serve as committee members and are often from organized labor unions. This close alliance promotes refinement of curriculum design so that it can accommodate current labor market demands.

 

Continuous Program Improvement: In order to ensure coursework continuity with field expectations, teacher training opportunities are provided by industry training facilities or by mentors working in the field.  A successful learning experience requires an effective collaboration among schools, employers, organized labor and community representatives to ensure that students are able to develop academic, job and self-management skills in the classroom and workplace.

 

         Alignment of Student Career Plans with Labor Market Realities:  In July 1996, the Board of Regents approved the three Career Development and Occupational Studies (CDOS) Learning Standards as part of the 28 learning standards for New York State students. One of the performance indicators for the CDOS Learning Standard 1, career development, provides that students will begin a career plan process at the elementary level and continue its development throughout their education experience. There has been a steady increase in students with and without disabilities developing individualized career plans (indicated in Table 12). The career planning process gives students an opportunity to use their experiences in the classroom and the community to help determine their career options and gain perspective on the kinds of experience, skills, education and training they will need to be successful in high school, college, and the workplace. The Department has collaborated with the Department of Labor to develop a web-based career planning tool known as CareerZone (http://www.nycareerzone.org/). The CareerZone provides an electronic version of the Education Department’s Career Plan whereby students explore educational and personal accomplishments. This planning tool orients career exploration toward labor market projections. As of January 2006, there were 335,585 student portfolios created by students on the CareerZone site. The site received 145,124 hits in January 2006.

VII.     Next Steps

 

Data Collection

 

·       SED is moving forward to improve data collection. A letter has been sent to District Superintendents requesting assistance in gathering data from BOCES sites and local educational agencies.

·       The Career and Technical Resource Center (CTERC) has been charged with working with school districts to enhance data collection.

 

CTE Assessment Review

 

          The national state directors for CTE were surveyed and, of those states which responded, none reported allowing a CTE assessment to replace a required core academic assessment. However, Virginia requires six assessments for graduation.  Five are in core academic areas and the sixth may be either another academic subject or a CTE assessment.

 

          Georgia is currently adjusting its graduation requirements for the 2011 cohort to require at least two courses in one of the sixteen “career pathways.” State planners are developing pathway assessments that would evaluate both technical and workplace readiness skills. The assessments would be created jointly by business representatives and teachers.

 

          Staff is investigating both the Virginia and Georgia models in greater detail.  The career pathways are of particular interest because the sixteen pathways include a wider range of careers and occupations than the traditional CTE subject areas.  Additional material will be provided to the Board upon the completion of this review.
