Book excerpt: As K-12 systems throughout the country work to create Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs that will provide students with post-secondary skills and competencies to succeed in the workforce, many CTE students may be inadvertently denied the opportunity to also become college ready upon graduation. Focusing on high school CTE coursework deemed to be less academically rigorous, can limit the college readiness rates for CTE concentrators both in admittance and success thereafter. Utilizing Dewey and Prosser’s historical perspectives related to vocational education, current college and career readiness research, and nascent literature on college and career ready indicators, the purpose of this explanatory qualitative case study was to try to understand how adult aged students who graduated from the CTE course of study perceived their preparation for college and career readiness. This study had a sample size of three subjects per state (California, Illinois, and Texas) for a total of nine adult participants who graduated from high school and concentrated in CTE by completing two or more courses in a career or technical education pathway. Using surveys and interviews, the design of this study captured vivid details through the words and actions of the participants to explore and explain the relationship between aspects of their scholastic experiences and their perceived readiness. The findings revealed that that where participants went to school, the quality of the CTE program, and expertise of the adults involved made the greatest differences in participant perceptions of readiness-- superseding all other factors including geography, race, age, and gender. The findings from this study may have significant academic, social, and systemic implications as the belief that college and career readiness are one in the same prevails when driven by quantitative data points. The voices from the field are telling us otherwise.
Book Synopsis Assessing the Value of Rural California High School Career Technical Education by : Coleen Louise Morehead
Download or read book Assessing the Value of Rural California High School Career Technical Education written by Coleen Louise Morehead and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While empirical studies on rural education have defined many of the socioeconomic factors associated with rural students nationally, there is a lack of definitive and comprehensive research defining the benefit or value of career technical education for rural California high school students. Consequently, this lack of research may in turn contribute to inadequate support. Perceptions associated with the value of career technical education have shifted over time both nationally and within the state of California. Rural California schools report declining CTE enrollment; furthermore, rural counties continue to report higher levels of poverty and unemployment. Given a recent change in California's public education funding model requiring local stakeholder input on funding decisions, this lack of research may in turn contribute to a lack of understanding by local educational leaders, teachers, and the general public regarding how CTE programs can be of a benefit to rural communities. CTE, however, is believed to have the potential to play a vital role in reversing negative socioeconomic trends for rural communities. This study uses a survey to examine the value of CTE programs in rural California high schools. The purpose of this study was to examine the factors impacting CTE in rural high schools. The sample of participants in this study represents a convenience sample of members of the California Association for Career and Technical Education, the California Association of Regional Occupational Centers and Programs, the California Workforce Association, and the California Future Farmers of America's Agriculture Teachers' Directory. Participants were solicited to participate in the study via both email to 1,809 unique addresses and LinkedIn group discussion board posts. Respondents completed a web-based survey including 25 survey items. A total of 175 surveys were submitted to SurveyMonkey web-based survey administration software. The analysis and synthesis of the survey led to three thematic findings: (a) need for dedicated CTE funding source, (b) reduce CTE stigma, and (c) streamlining college articulation agreements to include CTE. From the findings, three results were drawn suggesting that rural CTE programs currently offered under a regional approach pursue additional funding and/or regional partnership with local businesses, community colleges, and universities. An acknowledgement of the lingering CTE stigma was articulated by the respondents in survey question comments. This stigma is perpetuated by both a lack of understanding of the value of CTE and the college-for-all philosophy that is promoted at high schools. Thirdly, a concerted effort is needed to expand the awareness of CTE and the lack of relevant workforce skills necessary for a rural job market due to factors associated with living in a remote community.

This book was released on 2014 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: California's education system--the largest in the United States--is an essential resource for ensuring strong economic growth in the state. The Career Technical Education Pathways Initiative (the Initiative) became law in 2005 with Senate Bills 70 and 1133 and provided more than $380 million over eight years to improve career technical education (CTE) in California. The Initiative brought together community colleges, K-12 school districts, adult schools, Regional Occupational Centers and Programs (ROCP), employers, workforce investment boards, economic agencies, organized labor, and community partners to strengthen the connection between school and careers. The overarching goal of the Initiative was to better prepare California students to seek and succeed in jobs that require high-level skills and pay high wages, with a particular emphasis on meeting the needs of students in underserved groups. This report highlights the initiatives activities in the 2013-14 fiscal year. These include increasing the number and quality of career pathways and career technical education courses, increasing enrollment in career technical education programs of students in underserved groups, and engaging business and industry groups to collaborate with schools to provide internships.

Book Synopsis Career Technical Education Enhancement Fund Report by : California Community Colleges. Chancellor's Office
Download or read book Career Technical Education Enhancement Fund Report written by California Community Colleges. Chancellor's Office and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The California Community Colleges serve more than 2.1 million students and is the largest system of higher education in the nation. The state's 112 colleges provide workforce training, teach basic math and English, and prepare students for transfer to four-year universities and colleges. Senate Bill 852 established the Career Technical Education (CTE) Enhancement Fund, which allocated $50 million in the 2014- 15 budget year to expand, enhance, and improve upon CTE programs statewide. This funding was designed to help community college CTE programs purchase equipment, align and develop curriculum, and provide professional development training to better meet the employment needs of the regional economy in each of seven macro-economic regions. The chancellor of the California Community Colleges distributed funds to the districts designated as fiscal agents according to a formula that factored in CTE full-time students, all full-time students, and the number of colleges in each region. This one-time award created opportunities for community colleges to collaborate with each other and industry representatives in seven different macro-economic regions. This collaboration allowed the community colleges to better address the ongoing challenges of providing high quality CTE programs. By providing high quality CTE education, California community colleges can help address the skills gap. More than 30 percent of jobs in the seven macro-economic regions will require a postsecondary education credential, certificate or associate degree. Likewise, students need the opportunity to earn credentials and advance their skills in order to find high-wage employment. Increased education leads to higher wages for workers and greater prosperity for the region. The full cost of CTE, however, exceeds apportionment funding. While the CTE Enhancement Fund in the 2014-15 budget went a long way toward helping community colleges by funding much-needed equipment upgrades and professional development, these additional costs are ongoing. Continuing to provide money in future state budgets for the CTE Enhancement Fund will help thousands of CTE students to achieve their academic goals and find jobs and provide new skills to incumbent workers. Moreover, the investment in regional collaboration through intensive comparison of current CTE courses and programs to labor market needs is the most effective way to address the high cost of CTE programs.

Book Synopsis College and Career Readiness for All Texas High School Graduates by :
Download or read book College and Career Readiness for All Texas High School Graduates written by and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This brief explains how Texas can implement a college-ready curriculum for all students, while preparing them for careers with advancement prospects and future academic success in two-year, four-year, and technical colleges. It shows how the state can endorse career and technical education for high school students without embracing a two-tiered diploma system that sets lower expectations for one group of students and college-ready expectations for others. To do so, it describes the educational model of Hidalgo Early College High School, a promising and potentially replicable example of how it is possible to wed the goals of college readiness with high-quality career and technical education. This school's adoption of an early college design in 2006, through the Texas High School Project, accelerated a more-than-decade-long effort by Hidalgo ISD to promote college and career readiness. JFF prepared this issue brief for the Communities Foundation of Texas, which manages the Texas High School Project's philanthropic investments. Texas High School Project executive director John Fitzpatrick testified before the Texas Senate and House committees on education regarding SB3/HB3 and submitted this brief as written testimony.
Book Synopsis Are Career and Technical Education Programs at California Community Colleges Aligned with Local Labor Markets? by : Eric Joseph Chisholm
Download or read book Are Career and Technical Education Programs at California Community Colleges Aligned with Local Labor Markets? written by Eric Joseph Chisholm and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Career and technical education offered at community colleges has taken on renewed importance as America's economy tries to recover from the recession that began in 2007. Labor market projections show that middle skill jobs will be among the fastest growing categories of employment over the next decade, and because community colleges are the primary provider of trained workers for this classification they have become critical to America and California's economic future. For California's economy and its students to receive the full possible return from career and technical education, programs must align with local labor markets so that students are able to quickly and efficiently move from the classroom to the workforce. I collected data for student awards and program offerings from the California Community College Chancellor's Office website to match against past occupational growth and occupational projections from California's Economic Development Department. In order to test how well aligned CTE and local labor markets are, the data was matched for each Metropolitan Statistical Area and analyzed using an index of dissimilarity. An index of dissimilarity is a statistical tool used to calculate the difference between two percentage distributions, in this case, between job growth and awards and offerings. The result of an index of dissimilarity is a percentage representing the misalignment between CTE and local labor markets. Data on awards and offerings were analyzed separately with both job growth from 2007-2010 and future projections, giving my study four separate questions. The average index of dissimilarity across all four questions was 50.4 percent, meaning that statewide 50.4 percent of all awards and programs were misaligned with local labor markets. The four questions show great similarity in regards to the statewide averages, with a range of only 1.7 percent. Metropolitan Statistical Areas with only a single campus, as opposed to those served by multiple community colleges, had consistently higher indexes. My thesis highlights the need for further research on community colleges and their alignment with local labor markets, and provides results that are an ideal starting point for future study.
