  1. Career and Technical Education 2013 Summer Conference Update CTE Administrators

  2. Perkins Blueprint • No real movement toward reauthorization. • Recent movement to combine Perkins funding with WIA funds

  3. The Common Career Technical Core Initiative

  4. CCTC Next Steps • North Carolina was one of the first states to participate in the gap analysis done by NASDCTEc. • We have received a draft report of the findings and are in the process of reviewing the report. • We may ask the State Board to endorse the national CCTC.

  5. Teacher Effectiveness and Support for Growth

  6. CTE and Teacher Effectiveness • Many CTE teachers received data in Standard 6 in 2012 • Most will have data for the 2013-2014 school year • Status of Curriculum identifies the means to measure teacher effectiveness in 2013-2014

  7. Value Add Models • Value Add Model-predicted score compared to achieved score • Predictions based on data points for students over time • Need about 1,000 matched records to create a model • Pre/Post-Test Model • Courses without sufficient data to match for prediction model

  8. Measures of Student Learning • Measures of what students know and are able to do after completing a course or grade • Tightly linked to the instruction that a teacher delivers • One part of how North Carolina will evaluate the effectiveness of its teachers • Similar to the common summative assessments that many districts already have in place

  9. NC DPI Home Base System

  10. Why is North Carolina developing Home Base? The central focus of READY is improving every student’s learning ... …and enabling and ensuring great teaching is how we get there. One of the ways to enable great teaching is to put powerful tools in the hands of teachers and school leaders.

  13. How will Home Base be rolled out? • Home Base will be available to districts without costs for the 2013-14 school year. • Home Base will be phased in with many key functions available at the beginning of the 2013-14 school year. • 2013-14 year will be a kick-off year; we expect it to take districts time to learn and apply the resources in Home Base.

  19. Honors Revisions Background • 2004 - State Board of Education approved a framework for developing and implementing Honors Level Courses • 2012 - NCDPI began revising the 2004 Honors Implementation Guide and Rubric to more effectively address new standards and instructional best practices • June, 2012 - State Board of Education approved the new Honors Level Course Rubric

  20. What's new in the Implementation Guide? Teacher rationale including intentional reflection and philosophy in each of the three buckets. Language that specifically addresses: Credentials 21st century skills Common Core State Standards Formative and summative assessment Post-secondary alignment Electronic submission to the state level for review. Either met or not met. Peer evaluators with state level coordination. Recommendations if not met.

  22. FAQs – Frequently Asked Questions • Who completes the portfolio? Individual teacher • Who approves the portfolio? Principal, CTE Director, Superintendent (or designee) and NCDPI • Will existing CTE standards and objectives meet honors level requirements? No. Honors levels standards and objectives must be an extension of the current objectives.

  23. More FAQs • Will we be required to develop a portfolio for honors level courses that are in field test status? Yes • How much extra work is required to earn honors credit? Instruction should be differentiated at a higher level and not assign extra work. The focus should be on extension, acceleration, and enrichment. CTE recommends an extension of 25% of the course content. • Should standards be rewritten or should new standards be added? Teachers may extend an existing standard or add a new one. Either is fine.

  24. More FAQs • May we work together? • Portions of the portfolios can be common and it is the expectation that the LEA will provide PLC or PD opportunities for teachers to work collaboratively. However, individual teacher portfolios should reflect the course implementation in his/her classroom. Example: Student work samples should be collected by individual teachers for their portfolio.

  25. More FAQs • Do students needs to score a higher grade on Elements post-assessment to earn honors credit? No (And they take the same post-assessment as regular credit) • What if I already have an honors portfolio I created using the old implementation guide? A new portfolio following the new rubric and revised implementation guide must be developed.

  26. Portfolio Review Timeline 2012-13 - Transition Year 2013-14 - Fall/Winter: Portfolio review process for First Cohort Spring: Notification of Second Cohort 2014-15 - Second Cohort will be reviewed 2015-16 - Third and Final Cohort will be reviewed

  29. 40-Hour Induction Modules DPI Staff have used feedback from surveys completed last year to revise the induction process. • One less session • Fewer days out of the classroom for teachers • Blended learning • Cost savings

  30. Induction Schedule • 2013-14 will follow the new blueprint • Final dates for 2013-14 have not been set • Notice the transition plan in your packet • Completion of the induction within the three year window should be a priority for teachers
