Perkins ‘08-’1?
• Federal legislation • Governs what you CAN, MUST, & CAN’T do with CTE
programs.• http://www2.ed.gov/policy/sectech/leg/perkins/index.html
• CA State Plan for CTE 2008- 2012 available online at:o http://www.schoolsmovingup.net/cte/downloads/cteplan_122808.pdf
o Measures Accountability via: • Five Core Indicators (CI) -- Skill Attainment, Completion,
Graduation/Persistence, Placement/Employment, NT Participation & Completion
• Core Indicator data identifies GAPS & SUCCESSES in CTE Programs for all students from Special Populations
![Page 12: Completion Matters: Change is Constant! 2012-2013 Regional Workshop](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070417/5681552d550346895dc306e5/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Students from SPs are Defined as:
• Individuals with disabilities• Displaced homemakers• Individuals from economically disadvantaged
families; o inc. foster children
• Individuals with Limited English Proficiency (LEP)• Single parents;
o inc. single pregnant women & teen parents
• Individuals preparing for a career that is Nontraditional (NTO) by gender
![Page 13: Completion Matters: Change is Constant! 2012-2013 Regional Workshop](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070417/5681552d550346895dc306e5/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Perkins Act Requires
Each School/College (LEA) sets a performance goal for each Core Indicator
If the goals are not met at a minimum of 90%, the LEA will have to take corrective action and, with continued lack of goal attainment, the LEA faces
sanctions & loss of funding
Perkins funds are to improve or expand programs ONLY!
![Page 14: Completion Matters: Change is Constant! 2012-2013 Regional Workshop](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070417/5681552d550346895dc306e5/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Perkins Act: things to know & understand
• Who writes YOUR Plan?
• How can YOU get involved?
• What is YOUR local Allocation Process
• What CTE Programs are receiving funding? What Core Indicator GAP are they addressing? Is there Labor Market Indicator (LMI) data that
indicates a need to expand this program? http://www.labormarketinfo.edd.ca.gov/
![Page 15: Completion Matters: Change is Constant! 2012-2013 Regional Workshop](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070417/5681552d550346895dc306e5/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Accountability: Core Indicator Data
• Accuracy is of paramount importance!
• District data is reported annually by your LEA
• You want the PROGRAM data from YOUR program.
• You already have that data! FROM WHERE?
• Data is useless if you don’t use it! o Determine the gaps/successes! o Decide how to close the gaps and replicate the successes
![Page 16: Completion Matters: Change is Constant! 2012-2013 Regional Workshop](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070417/5681552d550346895dc306e5/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Questions to ask about Data
• Is there an equitable balance of program participants?
• Is data disaggregated?
• Does the data answer questions such as:o Does the program have a consistent effect on all students? o Where are gaps or disproportionate representation?o Do females and males perform equally?o Are some ethnic or SP groups underperforming?
Outperforming?
• Are you meeting the needs of the labor market?
![Page 17: Completion Matters: Change is Constant! 2012-2013 Regional Workshop](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070417/5681552d550346895dc306e5/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
What you need to look at:
• Over/under representation
o 75%/25% gender rule Less than 25% of one gender (in an occupation) makes a
program NT (See NT Brochure/CDE database). Even though NT status is determined by employment data,
if you enrollment is less than 25% of a single gender it my indicate a recruitment or counseling bias or other barrier(s).
o +/- 10% ethnicity rule 10% difference in program enrollment versus school
representation may indicate a recruitment or counseling bias or other barrier(s).
![Page 18: Completion Matters: Change is Constant! 2012-2013 Regional Workshop](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070417/5681552d550346895dc306e5/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

![Page 19: Completion Matters: Change is Constant! 2012-2013 Regional Workshop](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070417/5681552d550346895dc306e5/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

Image of CTE, NT and SP
• What is the image of CTE in your community - on and off campus?
• What is the image of NT students in your materials?
• How are students from special populations depicted in school materials?o Website, Program/area Brochures, Marketing
materials, etc...
![Page 23: Completion Matters: Change is Constant! 2012-2013 Regional Workshop](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070417/5681552d550346895dc306e5/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Root Causes Theory Strategies
Media (negative)
The constant and often gender stereotypical exposure of electronic media solidifies stereotyping.
• Teach critical thinking about the way in which the media portray CTE and NTOs.
• Emphasize role of education.• Monday Morning Ad
Discussion
Media (positive)
National media portrayal of individuals performing the job duties of a NTO in a positive light increases participation of the NT gender in that career.
• Provide positive NT role models through established media.
• Emphasize the role of ed.• Provide programs that build
positive body image.• Classroom visitors, posters,
web…

Micro-Message
• Small, unspoken and unconscious messages • Sent and received many times a day. • 10 to 40 micro-messages in a 10-minute time period. • These messages accumulate and have a big input in the workplace
• They affect employee productivity, morale, absenteeism, and turn over.
• Micro-inequities & Micro-affirmations
Can you name a micro message you have received? What was the impact?
• Micro Messaging: Why Great Leadership Is Beyond Words by Stephen Young

Self Efficacywww.des.emory.edu/mfp/self-efficacy.html
• Defined as judgments regarding one’s ability to organize and execute the courses of action necessary to attain a goal.
• Influences goal choice, the effort expended to reach goals, and persistence when difficulties arise.
• Found that mathematics confidence and gender stereotyping are significant predictors of mathematics performance for middle and high school students.
So what do we do about it?• Talk, explain: Ability vs. Capability• Allow students to experience SUCCESS!
o If they can’t see it, Point it out!
![Page 31: Completion Matters: Change is Constant! 2012-2013 Regional Workshop](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070417/5681552d550346895dc306e5/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Early Intervention - Career Choice
• Provide information about CTE careers at the ages at which young people are most open to considering a CTE career & prior to their excluding essential preparation to increase participation:
o Conduct career fairs for middle school students.
o Target essential preparation interventions for elementary and middle school students, especially for math & science.
o Intervene early in youth’s development. Teach about Incremental learning, visual-spacial skills Provide math camps, AP course incentives. Identify students who aspire to STEM careers but lack academic
proficiency - www.cccbsi.org (CCC Academic Senate Basic Skills Initiative) http://teachers.sduhsd.k12.ca.us/abrown/Resources/SpanishInternetList.htm Spanish

18 Ways to Warm A Chilly ClimateModified from Bernice Sandler’s document. www.bernicesandler.com
Examine Teaching Behavior
Praise as a deliberate strategy
Small groups foster collaboration, not competition
Coach all students – not just one “type”
When you ask a question: look at all
Don't group students by gender, ethnicities, abilities, etc…
Call all students by their names – on none!
Do not allow interrupting!
Intervene when students are disrespectful
Avoid stories, jokes, etc that denigrate one group
Give credit to all students equally
Judge students contributions to class by the content not the delivery
Listen attentively Don’t call on the first hand up!
Do not make helpful offers or remakes that disparage a group of students
Ask all students the same types of questions

Attribution Theory
• Women are more likely than men to attribute success to hard work or outside help and failure to their own lack of ability & Vise Versa
• Women are more likely than men to actually value hard work over competitiveness as a route to success
• 100% of female students who dropped a class because of difficulty, believed that the ability to succeed in engineering was inherent.
• In the engineering classroom, students feel pressure to demonstrate inherent ability rather than to convey their need to exert effort
