Career and Technical Education (cte) System
Eleven Elements of High Quality CTE Whereas the standard sets may slightly vary in different schools, the following are the requirements expected of the applicants:
The advances witnessed in information and technology sectors have increased global competition as well as alter the nature of the works. Nowadays, employers are interested in employees with high-tech knowledge and elevated technical skills. Learning and work experience, therefore, stand out as an integral pipeline of producing such a workforce. Career and Technical Education is a system that offers both the technical and academic knowledge that guarantee students a smooth transition to life after school. In this study, I provide a brief summary of an interview conducted with a Mr. Gerald Brown, an administrator at California State Office of Education, regarding Career and Technical Education System. I sought to establish the main source of funding for the program, credentialing requirements for CTE teachers, whether they utilize the eleven rating tool when evaluating the programs, and his thought regarding the tool.
Funding
Quiz: What is the main source of funding for the CTE programs at the school?
Answer: Carl D. Perkins federal grant forms the main source of funding for schools. This fund is a federal appropriation for vocational and technical education. It is offered to all Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs that are approved. Evidently, the federal government is keen on developing Career and Technical Education. It fosters the prospects of academically and technically empowered workforce to meet skills demanded in the technologically advanced global economy. In addition, Perkins grant has set aside an extra fund that equals to 6% of the total funding that goes into the establishment of new CTE programs as well as improves the existing ones.
The funding procedure for a CTE is conducted based on the regular Weighted Pupil Unit (WPU), which encompasses incentives given to all districts to offer Career and Technical Education. This funding is used to meet requirements such as teachers' salaries, training equipment, teacher training, Guidance and counseling activities, Work-Based Learning, CTE courses offered in high schools, and providing accountability feedback regarding the program. In addition to the Perkins Funding, local funding in the school districts also plays a significant role in supporting the CTE programs.
i. A work experience of three years that is directly linked to each of the industry sector that has been mentioned on the credential. Here, one year is equivalent to a minimum threshold of 1000 clock hours in any given calendar year.
ii. At least one year of work experience must fall within the last five years of the ten years that herald the preliminary issuance of the credential.
iii. One must have successfully completed the 48 semester units offered in the postsecondary vocational training. The training must also be directly related to the industry sector that has been mentioned on the credential. The verification of the course work is done using official transcript.
Concerning the three-year work experience that is a necessity, the following may be used as substitutes for the one-year work experience:
a) Possession of a higher-level industry certificate directly related to the industry sector mentioned on the preliminary credential
b) One year of full-time experience providing instructional services in preschool or grades K-12 earned in a public or private school of equivalent status
c) High school diploma or diploma based on passage of the GED test or foreign equivalent of a high diploma. Graduation from an accredited college or university is also accepted.
Other requirements worth mentioning include a duly filled application form for OCDE, CT, and processing fees for OCDE and CTC. Money orders are preferable to cash.
The school is greatly committed to using the eleven elements rating tool when evaluating the program. Although its application has not been fully realized, there is a progressive quest to roll out the tool fully in monitoring the school performance. For instance, several governing bodies have been set up to ensure effective checks and balances at the management level of the programs. The bodies are headed by a team of administrators that are highly skilled, goal-oriented, and are fully aware of…
Pedagogic Model for Teaching of Technology to Special Education Students Almost thirty years ago, the American federal government passed an act mandating the availability of a free and appropriate public education for all handicapped children. In 1990, this act was updated and reformed as the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, which itself was reformed in 1997. At each step, the goal was to make education more equitable and more accessible to
Next, the researcher will conduct a query of the computer awareness of education administrators, teachers, parents, and students in the New Orleans school district, then evaluation of documented data will provide a research base of the required elements needed to consider while developing a framework that can be used as a guide by educational leaders and parents for the protection of children at school and at home. Research areas
Size/Cooperative Learning & it's effects on participation Action Research Question Will cooperative learning have a significantly positive impact on smaller or larger classes? The purpose of this study was to investigate if cooperative learning will have a significantly positive impact on smaller or larger classes. In order to have valid results, I used both my largest and smallest classes as my sampling. I also incorporated a variety of teaching styles with cooperative
Thus, we assume that children gifted in the arts are every bit as intellectually endowed as those with academic gifts. The relationships among giftedness, talent development, and creativity are challenging areas of research. Because researchers lack consensus about what constitutes creativity itself, progress in developing operational definitions of "creativity" has been slow (Clark & Zimmerman, 1992-page 344; Csikzentmihalyi, 1996; Hunsaker & Callahan, 1995-page 2). Although some scholars agree that creative
(Stasz, and Bodilly, 2004) In the press release by Mike Bowler and David Thomas (2005), High School Students Using Dual Enrollment Programs to Earn College Credits, New Reports Say. According to this report, the federal budget proposes to increase access to "dual enrollment" programs for at-risk students. Out of the approximately 2,050 institutions with dual enrollment programs, almost 110 institutions, or 5% (about 2% of all institutions) offered dual enrollment
After the Columbine media coverage, the nation became terrified that our schools were no longer safe, even though the facts show they are safer than ever" (2003, p. 14). This point is also made by Kondrasuk et al. (2005), who note, "More recently the violent events have garnered increased media coverage due to the dramatic nature of the crimes. In this age of instant communications and open dialogue, the media
