CTE Blue Print
 Blueprint, Investing in America's Future:
Transforming Career and Technical Education, for the
reauthorization of the Carl D. Perkins Career and
Technical Education Act, last reauthorized in 2006.
CORE PRINCIPLES
 This blueprint is based on four core principles:
 ALLIGNMENT
 COLLABORATION
 AACOUNTABILITY
 INNOVATION
ALIGNMENT
 (1) Alignment. Effective alignment between high-
quality CTE programs and labor market needs to equip
students with 21st-century skills and prepare them for
in-demand occupations in high-growth industry
sectors;
ALIGNMENT
 Clear Expectations for High-quality
Programming: Provide states better guidance on
establishing high-quality programs
 A More Active Role for States: Empower states to
identify the in-demand occupations in highgrowth industry sectors on which CTE programs
should focus

Statistics Jobs Added
 60 percent went to those with at least a bachelor's
degree;
 90 percent to those with at least some college
 . Over the next decade, as many as two-thirds of all
new jobs will require education beyond high school
COLLABORATION
 2) Collaboration. Strong collaborations among
secondary and postsecondary institutions, employers,
and industry partners to improve the quality of CTE
programs;
ACCOUNTABILITY
 (3) Accountability. Meaningful accountability for
improving academic outcomes and building technical
and employability skills in CTE programs for all
students, based upon common definitions and clear
metrics for performance;
ACCOUNTABILITY
 Common Definitions to Strengthen Data Systems
and Close Equity Gaps for Participation: Use
uniform definitions for participation and
performance indicators to create high-quality
data systems that enable meaningful comparisons
and identification of equity gaps
ACCOUNTABILITY
 Incentives for High Performance: Incentivize and
reward local recipients that exceed performance
targets
INNOVATION
 (4) Innovation. Increased emphasis on innovation
supported by systemic reform of state policies and
practices to support CTE implementation of effective
practices at the local level.
INNOVATION
 On April 19th, the U.S. Department of Education, in
partnership with the U.S. Department of Labor,
announced the availability of $474.5 million to create
and expand innovative partnerships between
community colleges and businesses to educate and
train workers

TRANSFORMATION
 Alignment: Ensuring that the skills taught in CTE
programs reflect the actual needs of the labor market
so that CTE students acquire the 21st century skills
necessary for in-demand occupations within highgrowth industry sectors
TRANSFORMATION
 Collaboration: Incentivizing secondary schools,
institutions of higher education, employers, and
industry partners to work together to ensure that all
CTE programs offer students high-quality learning
opportunities
TRANSFORMATION
 Accountability: Requiring CTE programs to show,
through common definitions and related performance
measures, that they are improving academic outcomes
and enabling students to build technical and job skills.
TRANSFORMATION
 Innovation: Promoting systemic reform of state-level
policies to support effective CTE implementation and
innovation at the local level
IMPLICATIONS
 What are the implications for moving forward?

ECONOMY
Race to the Top
 States must be approved by the Education Department
to get stabilization funds from the American Recovery
and Reinvestment Act - this requirement most states
have already met.
Race to the Top
 requires that states abolish so-called 'firewall' rules,
which prohibit schools from evaluating teachers on
student performance. Many teachers' advocates claim
that these rules are crucial in schools where there are
overwhelming external factors that influence student
performance.
ILLINOIS SB7
 The law, titled SB7, makes teacher tenure and layoffs
contingent on student achievement and makes it
easier for school districts to dismiss tenured teachers
deemed ineffective based on student performance.
Kansas
 The Center for Education Reform drives the creation of
better educational opportunities for all children by
leading parents, policymakers and the media in boldly
advocating for school choice, advancing the charter
school movement, and challenging the education
establishment. The Center for Education Reform
changes laws, minds and cultures to allow good
schools to flourish
 67% of the entire state of Kansas budget for fiscal
year 2011.
Performance Pay
 Performance pay: Performance pay, or merit-based
pay, rewards teachers based on their performance in
the classroom and not just on seniority, which is
currently the norm.

MISSOURI
 The Missouri Budget Project report “Cutting to the
Chase” states, “In 2011, Missouri ranked 36th lowest
nationally in per student public funding for
elementary and secondary education, providing $9,422
in combined state and local funds per student. This is
approximately $1,400 less per student than the
national average of $10,826.” As a percent of state to
local district funding, Missouri ranks 47th lowest
Nebraska
 Statewide reform in Nebraska embodies a pioneer
spirit that includes changes in public school finance,
diversity enhancement, multicultural education,
public school choice, outcome-based education,
technology, and the Statewide Systemic Initiative
OHIO Education Reform House Bill

 Senate Bill 316 calls for "The Third Grade Reading Guarantee." It
requires:
 - a reading intervention and monitoring plan for students struggling
with reading in kindergarten through second grade
 - retention for students who participated in the plan for two years and
are still not proficient in reading at the end of third grade

MINNESOTA education Budget
 The Minnesota House has passed a $15.7 billion
funding package for K-12 education that for the first
time provides money for every school district to offer
all-day, every day kindergarten.
 The bill passed Tuesday evening by a 83-50 vote. The
budget measure would increase education spending by
$550 million over the next two years, including a 4
percent boost in the basic per pupil formula
MPRnews, May 2, 2013
Minnesota education budget Goal
 "We close the achievement gap. We make sure
everyone graduates. We make sure everyone is literate
by third grade, to make sure everyone is ready for a
successful career in college,“
 Rep. Paul Marquart, DFL Dilworth.
NEW GOAL
 The goal of CTE should be that students earn an
industry certification and postsecondary certificate or
degree - and land a job that leads to a successful
career."
President Barack Obama, February
13, 2012
 “An economy built to last demands that we keep doing
everything we can to help students learn the skills that
business are looking for.”
