Career and Technical Education
2013 Summer Conference Update
CTE Administrators
Perkins Blueprint
• No real movement toward
reauthorization.
• Recent movement to combine Perkins
funding with WIA funds
The Common Career
Technical Core Initiative
CCTC Next Steps
• North Carolina was one of the first
states to participate in the gap analysis
done by NASDCTEc.
• We have received a draft report of the
findings and are in the process of
reviewing the report.
• We may ask the State Board to endorse
the national CCTC.
Teacher Effectiveness and
Support for Growth
CTE and Teacher Effectiveness
• Many CTE teachers received data in
Standard 6 in 2012
• Most will have data for the 2013-2014
school year
• Status of Curriculum identifies the
means to measure teacher
effectiveness in 2013-2014
Value Add Models
• Value Add Model-predicted score
compared to achieved score
– Predictions based on data points for
students over time
– Need about 1,000 matched records to
create a model
• Pre/Post-Test Model
– Courses without sufficient data to match
for prediction model
Measures of Student Learning
• Measures of what students know and are able to
do after completing a course or grade
• Tightly linked to the instruction that a teacher
delivers
• One part of how North Carolina will evaluate the
effectiveness of its teachers
• Similar to the common summative assessments
that many districts already have in place
NC DPI Home Base System
Why is North Carolina developing Home Base?
The central focus of
READY is improving
every student’s
learning ...
…and enabling
and ensuring great
teaching is how
we get there.
One of the ways to enable great
teaching is to put powerful tools in
the hands of teachers and school
leaders.

How will Home Base be rolled out?
•
Home Base will be available to districts without costs for the
2013-14 school year.
•
Home Base will be phased in with many key functions
available at the beginning of the 2013-14 school year.
•
2013-14 year will be a kick-off year; we expect it to take
districts time to learn and apply the resources in Home Base.

Honors Revisions Background

framework for developing and implementing
Honors Level Courses

effectively address new standards and
instructional best practices
• June, 2012 - State Board of Education approved
the new Honors Level Course Rubric
What's new in the
Implementation Guide?
Teacher rationale including intentional reflection and philosophy in
each of the three buckets.
Language that specifically addresses:
Credentials
21st century skills

FAQs – Frequently Asked Questions
• Who completes the portfolio? Individual
teacher
• Who approves the portfolio? Principal, CTE
Director, Superintendent (or designee) and
NCDPI
• Will existing CTE standards and objectives
meet honors level requirements? No.
Honors levels standards and objectives must
be an extension of the current objectives.
More FAQs
• Will we be required to develop a portfolio for honors
level courses that are in field test status? Yes
• How much extra work is required to earn honors
credit? Instruction should be differentiated at a
higher level and not assign extra work. The focus
should be on extension, acceleration, and
enrichment. CTE recommends an extension of 25%
of the course content.
• Should standards be rewritten or should new
standards be added? Teachers may extend an
existing standard or add a new one. Either is fine.
More FAQs
• May we work together?
– Portions of the portfolios can be common and it is
the expectation that the LEA will provide PLC or
PD opportunities for teachers to work
collaboratively. However, individual teacher
portfolios should reflect the course
implementation in his/her classroom.
Example: Student work samples should be collected
by individual teachers for their portfolio.
More FAQs
• Do students needs to score a higher grade
on Elements post-assessment to earn
honors credit? No (And they take the same
post-assessment as regular credit)
• What if I already have an honors portfolio I
created using the old implementation
guide? A new portfolio following the new
rubric and revised implementation guide
must be developed.
