registered with the DOE under s.

Data Reporting Cycle 2011-12
Survey
Survey 2, October
2011
Report students enrolled in career and professional
academies
Career and Professional Academy Identifier
Survey 3, February
2012
Report students enrolled in career and professional
academies
Career and Professional Academy Identifier
Survey 5, August
2012 to February

Report students enrolled in career and professional
academies (Two formats: Federal/State Indicator & CTE
Student Course)
Career and Professional Academy Identifier
Report industry certifications earned and attempted
Industry Certification Identifier
Industry Certification Outcome
Middle School
Academies begin
reporting
* Typically the CAPE report and the calculation of school grades is based
on data reported on Survey 5 as of October 2012 .
24
Issue 1: Reporting Students Enrolled in
Career and Professional Academies (Surveys
2, 3, and 5)

Data on students in a registered career and
professional academy is reported on the
Federal/State Indicator Status format for
Surveys 2, 3, and 5 and CTE Course Schedule
Format for Survey 5 for students attempting an
industry certification, using the Career and
Professional Academy Identifier element.
◦ However, the primary source for enrollment data is
the Federal State Indicator Status format.
◦ For industry certifications, districts will have until the
final close date for Survey 5 to update these records.
For example, in the 2010-11 reporting cycle, Survey 5
was closed on February 29, 2012. The survey period
dates are approved and published by the Department
on an annual basis.
25
Issue 2: Reporting Academy Students
Attempting to Earn Industry Certifications
(Survey 5)




Data on industry certifications is reported
on the Career and Technical Education
(CTE) Student Course Schedule format,
Survey 5
Districts must report on all industry
certifications taken, including those which a
student did not successfully complete.
Elements that must be reported:
◦ Career and Professional Academy Identifier
◦ Industry Certification Identifier
◦ Industry Certification Outcome
The academy identifier is only reported if
the students attempted an industry
certification.
26
Issue 2: Reporting Academy Students
Attempting to Earn Industry Certifications
(Survey 5)
Up to two certifications can be reported
linked to a single course.
 For dually enrolled students, certification can
be reported by linking to a postsecondary
course number.
 Career and Professional Academy Identifier
must be reported on the CTE Student
Course Format for students earning industry
certifications in an academy

27
Issue 3: Reporting Students Attempting to
Earn Industry Certifications in CareerThemed Courses (Survey 5)
Districts will provide a list of career-themed
courses (CTC) to the Department on an annual
basis.
 Any course for secondary students can be a
CTC (even if it is not a career education
course).
 If a student attempts an industry certification in
a course designated by a district as meeting the
statutory requirements for a career-themed
course, then the identifier and outcome should
be reported on the CTE Students Course
Schedule format, Survey 5.

28
Issue 3: Reporting Students Attempting to
Earn Industry Certifications in CareerThemed Courses (Survey 5)

If the CTC in which the certification was
earned is not part of a career education
program, then:
◦ Certifications should be reported using all zeros
for the Program Code field.
◦ No matching CTE Teacher Course record
required.
29
Issue 4: Reporting certifications for students
who are not participating in career
education or CAPE (not in an academy or
career-themed course, and not in a career
education course)




The secondary course number should be reported
for these students
These certifications should be reported using all
zeros for the Program Code field
No matching CTE Teacher Course record is
required
These certifications will not be included in the
funding calculation in 1011.62(1)(o), F.S., but may
count for school grades
◦ All certifications reported may count for the high school
grades calculation.
◦ See technical assistance on the school grades calculation
here: http://schoolgrades.fldoe.org/
30
Issue 5: Reporting industry certifications
during the year in which the student took
the coursework


In most cases, the industry certification must
be reported in the year in which the student
took the coursework that lead to the
industry certification.
For calculation of funding under s.
1011.62(1)(o), the Department will check all
standard diploma graduates against a multiyear file of students earning industry
certifications while in an academy.
31
Issue 6: Prior year reporting in limited
circumstances


Districts may report certifications earned during
the prior reporting year, in cases where the
certification could not have been earned by the end
of the update period.
◦ Example: Student had to be 18 to earn the
certification and the18th birthday fell after the
standard update period.
◦ This method cannot be used to correct data
reporting errors.
District may report prior year by using the
following elements:
◦ School Year – Record Submission element equals
current reporting year.
◦ School Year – Course Taken element equals the
prior year.
32
Other Reporting Issues
Certifications should be reported in the year that they
were earned.
 Students should not be reported with the same industry
certification identifier more than once in the survey. The
outcome reported should be the final outcome for the
reporting year.
 For a student earning an industry certification in a prior
year (value of “P” on industry certification outcome), the
student may not be reported with that same industry
certification identifier in a subsequent reporting year.

◦ For example, ADOBE012 - This certification often has software
updates and new version of the software and subsequent exams are
released. If a student earned the ADOBE012 certification in 201112, the student may not be reported as attempting or earning that
industry certification in any following year.
33
Other Reporting Issues

For certifications or assessments with work
experience requirements, an industry certification
identifier may be reported as an attempt when all
exams have been taken and any requirements
other than work experience are satisfied (i.e.,
report valid identifier on Industry Certification
Identifier element and outcome of "F" on the
Industry Certification Outcome element).
◦ Students may not be reported with an “F” for two
consecutive years if the only certification requirement
outstanding is the work experience.
