Career and Technical Education Evaluation

 

I.                                                          Policy Overview

 

In February 2001, the New York State Board of Regents approved its policy on Career and Technical Education.  The policy was aligned with high school graduation requirements and provided an additional pathway to meet these requirements.  The policy had a two-fold purpose:

 

·        Promote and upgrade career and technical education programs; and

·        Provide greater flexibility and access in curriculum and courses for high school students who want to pursue CTE programs to meet graduation requirements.

 

The Department developed an implementation guide which outlined the approval process.  In order to promote and upgrade CTE programs, the issues of teacher certification, technical assessment, postsecondary articulation and work-skills employability profiles were focal points of the policy.  To aid in the promotion of flexibility of programming, the policy allowed for the use of integrated and specialized academic courses.  The overall effectiveness was enhanced by the inclusion of business/education representatives, community leaders, parents, union representatives as well as other stakeholders on the self-study and external review committees.

 

This policy is not a mandate, but an option for school districts and BOCES to provide quality CTE programs with flexibility in their delivery.  The CTE program approval applications are generated by school districts/BOCES boards of education using rigorous criteria and are approved by SED.  Students that complete an approved CTE program and pass an appropriate technical assessment receive a technical endorsement affixed to their high school diploma.  Students receiving this endorsement have met all applicable graduation requirements, including the passage of five required Regents examinations.

 

            In New York State, CTE programs are offered in local education agencies, BOCES, and comprehensive high schools.  Programs are available in Arts/Humanities, Business/Information Systems, Health Services, Engineering/Technologies, Human and Public Services and Natural and Agricultural Sciences.  These content areas are covered in detail in Standard 3B of the Career Development and Occupational Studies (CDOS) Learning Standards.

 

The CTE policy has been in place for the past three years.  The review of the policy includes an independent evaluation by MAGI Educational Services, Inc. and is supplemented by information on student achievement and enrollments from SED databases of Career and Technical Education Data System (CTEDS) and the System for Tracking Education Performance (STEP).

 

            The State Education Department contracted with MAGI Educational Services, Inc. to assess the extent to which the policy/program approval process fosters high quality career and technical education programs.  The MAGI evaluation report provides specific research-based information on student achievement, curriculum and instruction, and overall program quality.  The findings are from a survey of 611 approved CTE programs in the 38 BOCES and 12 local educational agencies (LEAs), as well as from 141 programs that had not applied for program approval.  In addition, focus group interviews were conducted in 14 different sites across the State along with classroom observations of approved CTE programs.  Three of the Big Five school districts (New York City, Buffalo, and Rochester) were included.  Syracuse and Yonkers are not included because they are not sufficiently along in the process for a valid assessment of results.    However, we have provided information on the Big 4 school districts based on data in our Career and Technical Education Data System (CTEDS) database.  The career and technical education program approval update shows that all BOCES Centers and about half of the LEAs with approved CTE programs were included in the survey.

 

II.                     Career and Technical Education Program Approvals

 

          As of November 29, 2004, 25 local education agencies and 38 BOCES have submitted certification forms to the Department requesting approval for career and technical education (CTE) programs.  A description of each career area is found in Appendix A.

 

CAREER AREA	Received	Approved
Arts/Humanities	65	56
Business/Information Systems	125	87
Health Services	92	75
Engineering/Technologies	323	290
Human & Public Services	160	149
Natural & Agricultural Sciences	50	48
TOTALS	815	705

 

 

III.                                                        Student Performance

 

Data for Chart 1 below is a disaggregation of data from Table 4, page 35 of the MAGI report for New York City (NYC) and rest of state (ROS).    It should be noted that Table 4 lists New York State performance levels which reflect final agreed upon minimum performance levels for Carl D. Perkins Vocational and Technical Education Act 1998 for school year 2002-2003 identified by USDOE.  The performance level for academic skill attainment has since been increased and currently is at 72.95%.

 

The majority of students who completed a registered sequence of courses in CTE have achieved technical skill proficiency, passed a technical assessment, and have been successfully placed.  The evaluation report provides specific information in academic skill attainment.

IV.                                                       Enrollment Trends

 

            Enrollment data is from the Career and Technical Education Data System (CTEDS) for (1) total student enrollment in CTE programs in the Big Five school districts, BOCES, and the rest of the state including LEAs, and (2) for comparative enrollment patterns in matched program clusters.

2001-02 to 2003-2004 School Years

 

 

 

Enrollment by Program Clusters

 

            Comparative enrollment patterns in matched clusters between 2002-2003 and 2003-2004 show various shifts, some of which match job trends in New York State.  Increases in CTE enrollment, particularly in the technology and health care fields, were similar to projected job trends in the State.   These programs are leading students into careers rather than merely employment.  This is significant for economic growth and sustainable wages as they move into careers.

 

·        The greatest increase in CTE enrollment occurred in business programs (44%), followed by technology and communications (15%).  The computer technology field ranks #1 in statewide job growth projections.

 

·        The increase in health care enrollment (10%) is reflective of a pattern in the statewide health care industry: medical assistants, home care aides, and physical therapy aides are featured in the top 10 fastest growing jobs.

 

·        There were decreases in CTE enrollment in trade and industry (-1%) and child care  (-4%).

 

·        In New York City, there was a 211% increase in enrollment in the approved Business program, and a 55% increase in the three registered Technology and Communications programs. 

 

In the area of CTE enrollment by gender, race, and special education status for

selected program clusters, survey data is for the 2003-2004 school year.  A total of 328 CTE programs were surveyed. The findings indicate the following:

 

·        The greatest gender disparity in enrollment was in the Personal and Other Services cluster (1% males; 99% females), largely accounted for by females enrolled in Cosmetology programs.

 

·        The least gender difference occurred in Business programs where the ratio of males to females was 48% to 52%, respectively.

 

·        Overall, gender differences of at least 28% occurred in seven out of ten program clusters.

 

·        Racial differences existed in all program clusters.  Enrollments were dominated by White students in all but Business programs, where more African-American students (42%) were enrolled than both White (29%) and Hispanic (20%) students.

 

·        Special education students were under-represented in all CTE program clusters. The greatest disparity occurred in the Business program cluster (85% general education; 15% special education), and the least in the Agriculture and Renewable Resources cluster (66% general education; 34% special education).

 

Collectively, these data indicate that enrollment patterns in approved CTE programs reflect trends that are historically typical of career and technical programs: nontraditional enrollment (where less than 25% of the gender is employed in the occupational field) was low, as was the inclusion of students with disabilities.  Racial distribution most often was regarded as a function of the local demographics and therefore not attributable to inherent program characteristics.  

 

 

V.                                                                    Next Steps

 

Based on the independent evaluation and staff analysis, we have identified six major areas that will be the focus for future directions for CTE in New York State.

 

1.      Program Improvement/Professional Development

 

The majority of the CTE programs will continue to refine their components through professional development for staff, securing appropriate certification for staff, and postsecondary articulation with institutions of higher learning.  Given that all CTE programs have been in operation for no more than three years, program improvement will continue to be an ongoing feature.  Professional development needs to center on academic and technical content integration and the involvement of academic teachers should continue to be a priority of CTE administrators. 

 

 

2.      The Middle-Level Connection

 

For CTE programs to contribute to raising student achievement and improving knowledge and understanding of the inter-relations of good citizenship and career skills development, school districts/BOCES must pursue effective strategies for increasing awareness of the CTE pathway in the middle schools.  There was evidence in the survey findings that school districts and BOCES had not launched a credible public relations effort directed toward middle school students, their guidance counselors, and their parents.  One of the creative strategies that school districts/BOCES could employ for recruitment in the middle schools could be the use of follow-up data on CTE graduates.   

 

3.      Non-Participating Districts

 

To achieve full participation by all school districts/BOCES, additional technical assistance will be required to remove obstacles to participation by these school districts.  About 80% of the non-participating, district-based CTE programs surveyed had no plans to apply for approval.  Some of the reasons cited included, but are not limited to, perception of uncertainty as to what the benefits/added value would be and insufficiency of resources.  Other reasons cited were lack of awareness of the CTE policy, satisfaction with their current level of participation through the local BOCES centers, and difficulties in getting integrated academic credit approved by their central administration.  These are areas of further technical assistance for the Department.

 

4.      Technical Assistance

 

Technical assistance requests, in some cases, exceeded SED staff capacity.  Decisions on technical assistance delivery to the field was based on high need districts.  Those to whom we did not have capacity to provide technical assistance were directed to the SED website.  A complete Implementation Guide with necessary forms is also available on this site.  A team of staff members went to New York City, Buffalo and Yonkers July-September 2004 to provide on-site assistance with policy components and curriculum and to improve their participation in the CTE process.  Staff also meets quarterly with both the Association of Career and Technical Education (ACTE) and Big 5 CTE Directors to address any problems and new developments. Telephone and e-mail contacts are on-going to all approved prospective programs.  Based on SED staff discussions, site visits to approved programs and information gained through conversations with the field, we have refined our internal protocols which has in some cases been misinterpreted as policy changes on our part.  Further adjustments will be made as a result of the independent evaluation report.  Efforts will continue to increase the number of LEA CTE programs taking advantage of the flexibility allowed within this policy.  In addition, technical assistance efforts will continue with Yonkers, Buffalo and New York City.

5.      Big Five

 

In addition to ongoing technical assistance, staff will focus their attention on strategies to reverse declining enrollments that have been reported in specific schools within the Big Five districts.  Further upgrading and expanding the scope of high quality programs, through the CTE approval process, is one of the approaches currently being used to address the declining enrollment trend.

 

Information from New York City indicates that enrollment has increased in most of their CTE schools while some students are opting out of CTE schools to attend theme-based small schools.  Emphasis will be placed on working with these CTE schools to become state-of-the-art educational facilities and remain competitive both academically and technically.

 

6.      Re-Registration Process

 

The Department is developing a process to re-register programs at the end of five years.  This process, to be developed in collaboration with the approved programs, will help to maintain program quality and continuous improvement.

 

7.      Data Collection

 

This will be ongoing in the areas of student performance, technical assessments, enrollment, and placement in participating school districts/BOCES.  An effort will be made to maintain a comparative approach in all phases of data gathering for students enrolled in CTE versus those not enrolled in the program.

 

8.      Continued Analyses

 

Continued work will be done with the independent evaluator, MAGI, in the following areas:

 

·        Comparative study of CTE dropouts versus dropouts in the general school population;

·        Comparative study of performance on Regents examinations for CTE students versus those in the general school population; and

·        Tracking completion of first semester work of CTE students at postsecondary institutions compared to the general school population.

 

Information and data from any or all of these items when completed will assist staff in providing appropriate technical assistance to school districts/BOCES in program development.

Description of Career Development and Occupational Studies (CDOS)

Career Cluster Areas

 

            The Career Development and Occupational Studies (CDOS) Learning Standards include Career Development, Integrated Learning, Foundation Skills and Career Cluster Areas.  Students who choose to study in any of the career cluster areas will acquire the career-specific technical knowledge/skills necessary to progress toward gainful employment, career advancement, and success in postsecondary programs.  The six career areas are:

 

Arts/Humanities -- The Arts/Humanities career cluster area provides information and key ideas that are often applicable across several disciplines, i.e., visual arts, dance, music, theatre, etc.  Program examples include television production, dramatic arts, graphic design, etc.

 

Business/Information Systems -- The general performance indicators and performance tasks for the Business/Information Systems career cluster areas are centered on knowledge and skill requirements essential to all business enterprises.  These include basic business foundations, business-related technology, information management/communications, business systems, resource management, and interpersonal skills.  Program examples include computer networking, website design/operations, finance, etc.

 

Engineering/Technologies -- The Engineering/Technologies career cluster area is organized on the bases of student understanding of technological systems, engineering/industrial processes and attainment of skills related to specific technologies.  Program examples include automotive technology, fiber optics, heating/ventilation/air-conditioning, etc.

 

Health Services -- Occupational careers in Health Services are broadly defined as Therapeutic, Diagnostic, Information Services and General Services.  Program examples include practical nursing, medical assisting, dental assisting, etc.

 

Human and Public Service -- Careers in Human and Public Service are classified within the general areas of ethical/legal responsibilities, communications, sanitation, human growth and development, interpersonal dynamics, safety, personal resource management, and human wellness.  Program examples include police science, child development/care, travel and tourism, etc.

 

Natural and Agricultural Sciences -- Educational experiences in the Natural and Agricultural Sciences career cluster area are classified within general areas such as basic agricultural foundations, agricultural-related technology, agricultural information and business management, and agricultural systems.  Program examples include horticulture, veterinary assistant, forestry, etc.

Information Submitted by New York City Department of Education

 

1.      Enrollment trends in CTE programs over last 5 years

Within our 18 CTE schools, there were 3,046 students that comprised the 1998 Cohort (class of 2002). Enrollment has steadily increased in most schools.

2.      Effect of the small school movement in NYC on CTE programs -performance of CTE students on Regents exams and for high school graduation

·        The small school movement in New York City provides students with additional choices and may result in alleviating overcrowding in larger CTE schools. Those small schools that are theme-based and offer students career education programs will provide students that attend these schools an opportunity to achieve academic success and to develop their career goals. As the numbers of small schools increase and students are provided with additional choices, we may find that this will lead to a decrease in the number of students selecting CTE schools as their school of choice. This may result in lower registration at these schools if they do not continually reinvent themselves to remain competitive. Thus far the effect has been minimal given the fact high school seats are at a premium in the city. 

 

·        Seven of our larger CTE high schools have adopted the Smaller Learning Community reform model in an effort to provide more personalized, academically rigorous, and relevant Career and Technical Education programs. These schools offer students the opportunity to participate in sequenced programs that are New York State approved, lead to advanced certifications and an endorsed Regents Diploma.  It is our hope that the reorganization of larger CTE high schools will result in students selecting a theme-based Smaller Learning Community and will enable them to achieve higher academic standards.

3.      Role of alternative high schools in CTE

·        Alternative high schools that have adopted the principles of Career and Technical Education, such as School of Co-op Technical Education, provide students with the opportunity to complete their academic course requirements and receive instruction in advanced technology programs. Students attend their zoned school for academic instruction and travel to the School of Co-op Technical Education and other schools like it to obtain technical training leading to industry certifications and enter high needs areas of employment as well as transition to post-secondary education.

 

·        Some alternative high schools provide courses in computer applications, culinary arts, and business education. It is our vision to promote sequenced Career and Technical Education programs in these schools to ensure SED certification.

 

·        Students attending alternative high schools where there are no CTE programs can attend CTE high schools in a shared instructional model to fulfill their CTE goals.

 

4.      Evaluations of CTE programs conducted by NYC 

Evaluations have led to changes, including the current movement to create smaller learning communities in many of the city’s CTE schools.

 

Smaller Learning Communities (SLC) and CTE

 

·        Create an opportunity for schools to re-invent themselves as smaller and more personal learning communities.

 

·        Our CTE programs overlap the SLC values of autonomy, identity, personalization, and instructional focus. These guide the SLC’s school’s plan for restructuring. Similar to SLC programs that provide for common staff development and programming, our CTE industry certification programs assist all teachers in developing new and effective teaching strategies.  Professional development workshops support teachers and administrators in providing learning environments that improve student achievement.

 

5. Career and Technical Education Approval Process

 

The program approval process is in and of itself a great tool for evaluation of CTE programs.  To make students eligible for this option, school districts and BOCES must engage in a program approval process following State Education Department criteria. The career and technical education program approval application is first approved by school district/BOCES boards of education and is then eligible for final approval by the State Education Department. Department approval provides program flexibility and permits a Regents diploma with a technical endorsement for students completing the approved CTE program.

Criteria for the career and technical education program approval process require applicants to have evidence of:

-          quality technical and academic curriculum, including integrated English language arts, mathematics, science, economics, and government and technical instruction;

-          faculty with State certification in appropriate academic and/or technical fields;

-          technical assessments that certify students meet current industry standards;

-          postsecondary articulation agreements;

-          work-based learning experiences for students;

-          work skills employability profiles for students; and

-          data on student progress and performance to evaluate their success on Regents examinations or alternatives approved by the State Assessment panel, technical assessments and placement in employment, military, or higher education.
