Information in this PowerPoint is subject to change. Please do not rely on the information included here exclusively. There will be meetings and other information exchanged that will supplement or change items listed here.

KNOW THE DIFFERENCE

BETWEEN:

1.“Special Populations”

is unique to CTE, and specifically defined by Perkins IV. Students must be, or have been, enrolled in Career and Technical Education courses to be included in Special Populations.

2. “Special Education”, Exceptional Children, or IDEA,

provides for free appropriate public education with an IEP designed to meet the needs of a student with a disability that adversely affects their educational performance.

3. “Special Needs”

gets used often, but it does not have any legal significance.

Who Are Special Populations Individuals?

• • Those with: with disabilities – from economically disadvantaged families, including foster children • preparing for nontraditional careers • who are single parents, including single • • pregnant women • who are displaced homemakers with Limited English proficiency, and with academic disadvantages

ACCOUNTABILITY & PLANNING Perkins IV specifies that information is provided to students who are potential members of special populations, and their parents, at least one year before the students enter or are of an appropriate age for the grade level in which CTE programs are first generally available. The information needs to be provided, to the extent practicable, in a language and form that the parents and students understand.

Note: Include

Notice of Nondiscrimination

on all printed materials. Include

NONTRADITIONAL

pictures, etc. on recruitment materials.

Accountability & Planning continued…..

Set up a “calendar of work” or “plan of work”

*Refer to Guide for a list of month to month SPC responsibilities.

*If you “wear more than one hat”, this will help you to prioritize and to also let others know your job duties.

What you should be doing in August?

Meet with CTE teachers both new and experienced to review expectations and responsibilities concerning students in CTE’s

Special Populations

August Coordination with other Service Providers

After 10 days, begin the identification process. Request the following:

Exceptional Children’s lists

8th grade EOG level I and II (from guidance)

LEP lists (from authoritative source ESL)

Free and Reduced lunch lists (from Child Nutrition)

Lists of at risk students (from guidance)

Lists of students with excessive absences (from data manager)

Lists of students in foster children program

Lists of 504 students (from 504 Coordinator)

Lists of pregnant students or student parents September

From the data collected, set up a spreadsheet or database for each school to use in identification for VEIS (CTE Enrollment Reports) and information for CDPs and CDP+s

digit must end in “ zero ” (7211 0 ).

Check to make sure that all teachers receive a list of modifications and other IEP, 504, & LEP information. Some EC staff/coordinators do this for you. In some LEAs we have to do it ourselves.

September

Do you know the difference between Modifications & Accommodations?

MODIFICATION an item that changes the measurement of work in order for the student to succeed in the regular classroom setting. They may be changes in the course curriculum or in the method of testing Some include:

Grading

Abbreviated assignments

Alternative materials

Modified blueprints

Alternative Testing

ACCOMMODATION is defined as, a change in a procedure that does not change the measurement of work completed. Some include:

Dictation to a Scribe

Interpreter/Translator, Signs/Cues Test

Keyboarding Devices

Magnification Devices

Reads Test Aloud

Multiple Testing Sessions

Scheduled Extended Time

Testing in a Separate Room

English dictionary

•Accommodations will not change the curriculum that is tested or how the test is graded. •Stress to your teachers that accommodations and modifications should apply throughout the semester, not just at end of course. •This includes EC, 504, & LEP students that have legal binding documents.

Participate on the IEP Team for students enrolled in CTE courses, as needed Coordination with other Service Providers

August-September

Meet with the Special Educator and develop a yearly plan of Career Technical Education related activities.

Assist teachers with planning for and implementing classroom and testing modifications. Some SPC may meet with EC teachers to develop a plan of Career Technical Education-related activities for OCS students.

Check with teachers to be sure that they are using required modifications. The I.E.P. is the law and cannot be ignored.

September

THE VEIS REPORT

NOTE: NC WISE uses the terms VEIS and Workforce Development Education (WDE) in reference to the CTE Enrollment Reports. VEIS, which stands for the Vocational Education Information System, is the name previously used for this data collection process.

Collection of enrollment data supports the intentions of the Carl D. Perkins Career and Technical Education Improvement Act of 2006 (Perkins IV), requiring that special populations students be identified to determine if they are receiving mandated services.

CTE enrollment data are collected at the end of the third and seventh school months.

October/ November

Begin to enter information from the lists requested in August into a spreadsheet or database to be used for updating VEIS information and for CDP+ preparation.

Just a Reminder……….

Assist teachers with planning for and executing classroom and testing modifications Check with teachers to be sure that they are using required modifications. The I.E.P. is the law and cannot be ignored.

Check with teachers to get a list of students who are not succeeding so that intervention can be started.

Update CDP+s

These things will be done each month

ASSESSMENT AND PRESCRIPTION…Job duty #2 The CDP plus is one of the Most Important Elements of Special Populations

• ALL SP students should have a CDP+ on file, either electronically or paper file.

File includes such items as:

1.Interest & Ability Inventories 2.CDP

3.IEP/LEP/or 504 plan – this includes modifications 4.Copies of special brochures, handbooks, parent notes, written in a language the parent & student can understand 5.Documentation of student progress 6.News Articles of students accomplishments 7.Recruitment activities CDP+ is an ongoing process

Assessment & Prescription continues…..

Coordinate administration of Interest Inventories and Learning Styles (this could be done at another time, but it needs to be done)

Late October

Outreach & Recruitment ……..

Share the vocational assessment data with the Special Educator for use in registering and placing students with disabilities in the most appropriate and least restrictive Career Technical Education program.

November

December

Begin to make arrangements for post tests (accommodations and alternate assessments)

Make final changes before VEIS upload

November

Just another reminder

Assist teachers with planning for and executing classroom and testing modifications Check with teachers to be sure that they are using required modifications. The I.E.P. is the law and cannot be ignored.

Check with teachers to get a list of students who are not succeeding so that intervention can be started.

Update CDP+s

December

These things will be done each month

January

Post Assessment Time Make sure that alternate assessments are ready and administered correctly.

Assessment & Prescription continues…..

Arrange for the administration of posttests for students who require accommodations.

January

The second semester will be essentially a repeat of the first.

DISCRIMINATION, HARASSMENT AND BULLYING Discrimination

“Under federal and state law it is illegal to discriminate against someone because of that person's race, color, sex (including pregnancy), national origin, age (40 or older), or disability”.

“Harassment”

unwelcome verbal or physical conduct…

Bullying

is when a student is repeatedly exposed to negative actions on the part of one or more other students.

Bullying is now prohibited under state law, and by SBOE policies.

Grievance Procedures

is a school board approved policy of addressing a claim by a student or parent/guardian, or employee of an alleged violation of a specified law or policy; such as incidents of discrimination, harassment and/or bullying.

•Both harassment and bullying can have a direct impact on whether Special Populations students enroll in CTE courses and/or continue in further courses or programs.

•Make sure your LEA has a Bullying Policy and students are aware where to report bullying.
