2. Who is in the room? What is your role in CTE? What questions do you have?

3. Agenda Overview of the Coalition and this Project Findings Considerations for Reauthorization A Discussion on the Blueprint, using an Equity Lens Resources

4. Project Recap The Taskforce reviewed: • State accountability data for enrollment and completion in non-traditional CTE for 2007/08; 2008/09; 2009/10; • Data for 2009/10 are presented here • Cluster/Concentrator Data for 2007/08; 2008/09; 2009/10; • Data for 2009/10 are presented here • Non-traditional $$ Allocations (data not presented) The Taskforce did not review CAR state reports.

5. Most States Meet Nontraditional Targets • Out of the 53 states/jurisdictions • 47 states came within 90% of their targets under secondary participation; • 45 did so in secondary completion; • 48 did so in post-secondary participation; and • 47 did so in post-secondary completion. • Does this surprise you? • Has that changed for your state in 2010-11?

17. High Performing States Demonstrate Potential for Women in Nontrad Programs Architecture and Construction Cluster in Post Secondary CTE Female Female Total Concentrators+ Enrollees Maryland 23.3% 202 866 Florida 21.2% 418 1974 Missouri 19.7% 267 1358 Oklahoma 17.4% 126 727 U.S. 10.0%

18. Data Indicates Inconsistent Reporting Standards and Data Quality Wisconsin and Florida report extremely unlikely rates of over 90% Secondary Nontraditional Completion. Delaware reports that 95 percent of enrollees in the Post-Secondary “Transportation, Distribution and Logistics” cluster are female, yet the next ‘best’ state enrollment for women in this cluster, Maryland is only 15.2 percent women. Inexplicably high year-to-year variation in some states. For example, South Carolina reported nearly 5,000 fewer completers between 08-09 and 09-10. What about your data?

19. The Blueprint:Through an Equity Lens What have we learned from Perkins IV about equity? What would we like to see measured in the next Perkins? How would we like to have it measured? Reactions to the proposed equity measures
