[Old Business and Action Items]
SO MOVING ON TO OLD BUSINESS AND ACTION USES.DR. JACOBS, I WILL HAND IT OVER TO YOU TO START THE DISCUSSION ON THE ANNUAL PERFORMANCE UPDATE.
I THINK YOU HAVE THE POWERPOINT AND I WILL STOP SHARING.
>> WE WANT TO FIRST WELCOME SOME GUESTS.
AND I WROTE DOWN SOME OF THE NAMES, JUST MAKE SURE YOU HELP ME WITH WHO EVERYONE IS.
THE FIRST ONE HERE, I'LL STOP SHARING SO IT WILL BE EASIER TO SEE EVERYONE.
WE HAVE STEVE COUSINS, SPECIAL GUEST STEVE COUSINS.
I'M A RESIDENT OF ALEXANDRIA, VIRGINIA.
I'M ALSO 1981 GRAD TC WILLIAMS HIGH SCHOOL, BOTH OF MY SONS WERE AND HAVE GONE OFF TO COLLEGE AFTER FOUR YEARS IN THE STATE OF VIRGINIA.
I WORKED IN THE CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY MANY, MANY YEARS SO I HAVE SORT OF AN INTEREST IN CAREER TECHNICAL EDUCATION, OBVIOUSLY, AND CURRENTLY I WORK IN THAT FIELD IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF HOME BUILDERS WITH A COMPANY CALLED HOME BUILDERS INSTITUTE.
I'M HERE TO OBSERVE AS A RESIDENT WITH YOU WITH A LOOK FROM THE CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY.
>> THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME, ALLOWING ME TO SIT THROUGH THIS MEETING.
>> WE ALSO HAVE DR. GERALD MAN.
GOOD AFTERNOON, I'M THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF INSTRUCTIONAL SUPPORT.
I'M JUST HERE TO SUPPORT DR. JACOBS AND JUST THANK YOU ALL FOR CONTINUING TO SUPPORT CTE.
>> THANK YOU, DR. MAN, WELCOME.
NEXT, WE HAVE MR. SHAWN ADDISON.
SO SHAWN ADDISON, THE CREDIT FOR PRIOR LEARNING COORDINATOR FOR THE COLLEGE IN THAT ROLE, I RESEARCH CREDIT FOR PRIOR LEARNING SO LOOKING AT ADVANCED PLACEMENT, THE CLEP TEST, COLLEGE LEVEL PROGRAM, AND WORK EXPERIENCE.
I RESEARCH THOSE PROPOSALS, SEND THEM TO FACULTY AND GET THEM TRANSLATED INTO COLLEGE CREDITS FOR STUDENTS.
MY KEY ROLE IS TO PROTECT THE ACADEMIC INTEGRITY SO CTE IS VERY IMPORTANT TO ME, I'M LOOKING AT SKILLS TO SEE HOW WE CAN TRANSLATE THOSE TO COLLEGE CREDITS FOR OUR STUDENTS SO I'M HAPPY TO BE HERE.
I'M ONE OF THE ASSISTANT PRINCIPALS AT ALEXANDRIA HIGH SCHOOL AND I OVER SEE THE CTE DEPARTMENT.
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH, MR. BURCH.
I WILL HAND IT OVER FOR THE ANNUAL PERFORMANCE REPORT.
>> I WANT TO THANK ALL OF THE GUESTS FOR BEING HERE TODAY.
[00:05:08]
YOU ALL ARE A VERY IMPORTANT PART OF CAREER AND TECHNICAL EDUCATION, AND SHAWN, IT IS VERY GOOD TO FINALLY MEET YOU.WE'VE BEEN EXCHANGING E MAILS IN ALEX COOLEY' ABSENCE, AND I REALLY WANT TO THANK YOU AGAIN FOR THE HELP THAT YOU GAVE ME WITH THE COURSE DATA LAST WEEK.
AND LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING WITH YOU IN THE FUTURE.
>> SO, AT OUR LAST MEETING IN MARCH, WE TALKED A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE ANNUAL PERFORMANCE REPORT.
THIS IS PUT OUT BY THE STATE, AND IT LOOKS AT THE CTE ON DATA.
AND TO GET STARTED, WHAT I WANTED TO DO IS SHOW YOU SOME DATA TO PUT SOME THINGS IN PERSPECTIVE WITH THIS REPORT.
AS YOU CAN SEE, ENROLLMENT THIS YEAR IS DOWN A LITTLE BIT FROM LAST YEAR, HOWEVER, WITH BEING 100% VIRTUAL TO START OUT WITH, WE DID LOSE SOME STUDENTS TO HANDS ON LEARNING AND LEARNING IN CONTEXT.
I HAVE EVERY BELIEF THAT WILL GO UP NEXT YEAR.
THE DUAL ENROLLMENT WAS HEALTHY AND THAT IS LARGELY DUE TO THE WORK THAT IS DONE ONLINE WITH THAT, SO THOSE NUMBERS HAVE GONE UP.
WHEN WE LOOK AT THE CTE COMPLETERS, YOU CAN SEE THE COMPLETER LIST IS A YEAR BEHIND.
AND SO THIS WAS LAST YEAR'S DATA.
WE DON'T HAVE THIS YEAR, SO IT IS REPORTING ON LAST YEAR'S.
AND YOU CAN SEE THAT OOPS, SORRY.
WE WENT DOWN IN THE NUMBER OF SENIOR COMPLETERS.
AND, WHEN WE SAY COMPLETERS, THAT MEANS THEY'VE TAKEN A LEVEL ONE AND A LEVEL TWO CLASS OR AN INTRO AND ANOTHER CLASS THAT GOES WITH IT.
IF A STUDENT HAS MORE THAN ONE COMPLETION, WE ONLY COUNT ONE SO IT HAS TO BE UNDUPLICATED SO WE DO HAVE SOME VERY AMBITIOUS SENIORS OR STUDENTS THAT TAKE A LOT OF CTE CLASSES BUT ONLY ONE COMPLETER CAN BE COUNTED FOR EACH OF THEM.
IN OUR INDUSTRY CREDENTIAL TESTING, WE CURRENTLY ARE USING 17.
AND DR. MAN ALWAYS REINFORCES THIS WITH EVERYONE, THE FACT THERE ARE ABOUT 500 DIFFERENT RECOGNIZED CREDENTIALS IN THE COMMONWEALTH.
WE'RE USING 17, AND WE'RE LOOKING TO SPAN OUT FROM THIS BECAUSE WE'RE JUST SCRATCHING THE SURFACE WITH WHAT IS AVAILABLE TO THE STUDENTS.
FOR INSTANCE, WHERE YOU SEE THE CHECK MARKS ARE THE TESTING THAT WE HAVE DONE SO FAR THIS YEAR.
SO THE WORK PLACE READINESS SKILLS.
THE WISE, THE WORKING IN SUPPORT OF EDUCATION.
THAT IS REQUIRED FOR GRADUATION.
CRIMINAL JUSTICE, EARLY CHILDHOOD CARE, CULINARY, ELECTRICITY, NETWORK HARDWARE.
MOST OF THE CULINARY HAVE TAKEN SERVSAFE.
MICROSOFT OFFERS FOR THE COMPUTER INFORMATION TEACHERS AND THE AUTO TECH TEACHERS HAVE TAKEN THE ASE.
COSMETOLOGY WILL MAKE THE LICENSURE TESTING THIS MONTH AND THE EMT STUDENTS WILL BE READY TO TAKE THEIR TEST AFTER THE DIAGNOSTIC SKILLS TESTING PROBABLY IN AUGUST.
NURSE AIDE AND SURGICAL TECH STUDENTS HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO TEST AND WE COULD NOT REALLY FORESEE THEM TESTING AS THEY ARE SENIORS AND THEY WILL BE GRADUATING AND GOING OFF ON THEIR WAY.
MILITARY, JROTC STUDENTS HAVE BEEN TAKING THE ASVAB.
I WANT TO DO A SHOUT OUT TO MR. BURCH FOR ALL OF HIS HELP TO MAKE SURE THE TESTING IS HAPPENING AT THE HIGH SCHOOL AT A TIME WHEN THINGS ARE STILL VIRTUAL IN SOME CASES AND ALL OF THESE TESTS ARE DONE VIRTUALLY.
IF THEY ARE IN THE SCHOOL BUILDING, THEY ARE STILL TAKING IT ONLINE WHILE THEY ARE THERE.
THE ANNUAL PERFORMANCE REPORT FROM 2018 19, THIS IS TWO YEARS AGO, WE DID NOT
[00:10:05]
MEET ONE IN THE NON TRADITIONAL CAREER PREPARATION, AND THAT IS NOT UNUSUAL FOR MANY SCHOOL DIVISIONS WITHIN THE COMMONWEALTH TO NOT MEET BECAUSE ABOUT FIVE YEARS AGO, THE COMMONWEALTH CHANGED SOME OF THE NON TRADITIONAL SO LIKE NON TRADITIONAL OR FEMALES IN, LET'S SAY, THE ENGINEER OR THE NON TRADITIONAL MALES IN COSMETOLOGY, THEY'VE CHANGED SOME OF THE COURSES AND MANY OF THE COURSES THAT SCHOOL DIVISIONS HAD, THEY TOOK THE NON TRADITIONAL STATUS AWAY, WHICH MEANT A LOT OF SCHOOL DIVISIONS DIDN'T MEET AND ALEXANDRIA CITY WAS ONE OF THEM.SOMETHING IN OUR FAVOR IS THE FACT THAT WE HAVE MANY MORE FEMALES TAKING ENGINEERING COURSES.
WE WILL BE STARTING THE CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT PATHWAY, WHERE THAT IS NON TRADITIONAL FEMALE ALSO, AND A LOT OF OUR HEALTH AND MEDICAL SCIENCE COURSES HAVE A NON TRADITIONAL PIECE TO IT.
NOW, THIS YEAR IS WHERE WE HAD SOME ISSUES THAT WE NEED TO ADDRESS.
FOR INSTANCE, THERE IS THAT NON TRADITIONAL PIECE WE DIDN'T MEET AGAIN, WHICH IS NO SURPRISE.
THE PART THAT IS SOMETHING TO REALLY CONCENTRATE ON IS THE 5S1A, B, C AND D, THEY HAVE TO TAKE A LICENSURE TEST.
AND THEY'RE COLLECTING DATA WIG IS PART OF THE ANNUAL REPORT WHICH DOES GO INTO FUNDING.
WHAT IS THE BASELINE TARGET DATA, AND WHERE DO WE FALL.
IF YOU LOOK AT THE RIGHT HAND SIDE, YOU WILL SEE IN C, B, D, E AND I GUESS THAT'S THE INFORMATION INDICATOR IN E, THAT WE HAVE ALWAYS MADE THEM UP UNTIL THIS YEAR.
THERE ARE SOME REASONS, IF YOU LOOK AT THE LEFT HAND SIDE, YOU CAN SEE THE 301 COMPLETERS, AND THE 200 OR SO SPECIAL POPULATIONS STUDENTS THAT WE DID NOT MAKE THE TARGET DATA AND THEY'RE ALL IN AROUND THE 80% MARK.
THERE ARE SOME REASONS WHY THIS HAPPENED.
IF YOU THINK ABOUT WHERE WE WERE AT LAST YEAR, MANY OF THE TESTING VENDORS DID NOT HAVE AN ON LINE OPTION FOR STUDENTS TO TAKE THESE TESTS ONLINE.
WE WERE STILL GETTING ORGANIZED LAST YEAR AROUND APRIL, MAY WHEN THE TESTING WAS SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN.
AND A LOT OF THE SKILLS TESTING DID NOT TAKE PLACE IN THE MONTH OF MAY BECAUSE WE WERE NOT IN PERSON SO A LOT OF THE TESTING DID NOT HAPPEN AND THAT'S WHY WE DID NOT MAKE THESE BENCHMARKS, MUCH LIKE MANY SCHOOL DISTRICTS THROUGHOUT THE COMMONWEALTH.
IT'S NOT JUST SPECIAL EDUCATION.
IT IS ALSO EL STUDENTS, MILITARY, HOMELESS, FOSTER CARE AND WE'LL LIST ALL OF THOSE OUT FOR YOU.
BUT, AGAIN, 218 AND WE DID NOT MAKE THE BENCH MARKS THERE.
SO, AS YOU CAN SEE, THERE ARE THINGS TO CONSIDER THIS INFORMATION, BECAUSE WE DIDN'T DO AS MUCH TESTING LAST YEAR BECAUSE OF COVID, THE APR DATA CAN BE AFFECTED FOR THREE YEARS BECAUSE SOME OF THOSE STUDENTS COULD HAVE COMPLETED IN 10TH GRADE AND NOT TAKEN A TEST.
NOW THEY ARE LONG GONE FROM CTE AND THEY WILL COME BACK NEXT YEAR AS 100% IN PERSON AS A SENIOR, AND WE HAVE ALREADY MISSED TESTING THEM SO IT IS IMPORTANT FOR STUDENTS TAKING A COMPLETER COURSE IN THE SAME AREA SO THEY COMPLETE.
SO A LEVEL ONE, LEVEL TWO AND INTRO AND ANOTHER COURSE.
COMPLETERS AND CREDENTIAL TESTING IS SUBMITTED, AGAIN, ONLY FOR SENIORS AND ONLY
[00:15:01]
ONE COMPLETER PER STUDENT.SO, IN THE WITH COVID, THE STATE PUT OUT AN ISSUANCE THAT CREDENTIALS WERE NOT NECESSARY TO GRADUATE FOR STANDARD AND ADVANCED DIPLOMA STUDENTS.
SO A LOT OF STUDENTS HAD THE IMPRESSION I'M NOT GOING TO NEED TO TAKE ANY TESTS BECAUSE I'M NOT GOING TO NEED IT FOR GRADUATION SO LAST YEAR'S JUNIORS AND THIS YEAR'S SENIORS HAD THE NOTION THEY DID NOT NEED TO TEST TO GRADUATE BUT WE NEEDED THE TEST FOR OUR CTE DATA COLLECTION AND ANNUAL PERFORMANCE REPORT.
WE NEEDED TO GO BACK AND THEY SHOULD BE GIVEN THE TEST AS SOON AS THEY COMPLETE THE COURSE.
IF THEY COMPLETE AGAIN IN 10TH GRADE, THEY SHOULD BE GIVEN THEIR COMPLETER TEST THEN.
IF THEY COMPLETE IN 11TH, THEN IT SHOULDN'T ALL BE ON THE SENIOR YEAR.
THERE WAS A GROUP THAT WAS PUT TOGETHER FOR CREATING AN ACTION PLAN, AND THESE ARE ALL THE STAKEHOLDERS.
AND WE STARTED WITH THE CURRENT SENIORS AND WE CHECKED EVERY STUDENT TO SEE IF THEY'VE COMPLETED FAN THEY PASSED A CREDENTIAL.
WE STARTED RETESTING SENIORS, MADE SURE IF THEY WERE A TEST COMPLETER AND A SENIOR, WE MADE SURE THAT WE HAD THAT CHECKED OFF.
INSURE THAT COMPLETER COURSES ARE CONNECTED IN THE STUDENT PH.D.MENT SYSTEM.
AS WE ADD NEW SOURCES, WE HAVE TO PUT THE CONNECTOR COURSES INTO THE STUDENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM SO THE SYSTEM CAN PULL OUT WHO THOSE COMPLETERS ARE BUT ALSO KEEP A BACK UP OF THAT DATABASE OF STUDENTS THAT COMPLETE.
MICKEY COFFMAN DID GREAT JOB OF DOING A BACK UP COPY WITH THAT.
I DID HAVE A PRESENTATION I GAVE TO THE SCHOOL COUNSELORS AND CTE TEACHERS.
THE COUNSELORS I DON'T THINK RECOGNIZED THE SIGNIFICANT STUDENTS NOT TAKING A COMPLETER COURSE.
FOR INSTANCE, WE CALLED THIS GRAZING IF THEY WERE ALL OVER THE PLACE, AND WE CALLED THEM GRAZERS AND THAT IS NOT GOING TO GET YOU A COMPLETER IN A TESTING DATA POINT SO THE SCHOOL COUNSELORS NOW UNDERSTAND THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THAT AND WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THE STUDENTS UNDERSTAND THAT CAREER PATHWAY AND THE NEED COMPLETE AND TAKE A PRUDENTIAL TEST.
I WANT TO SAY AS FAR AS WORK PLACE LEARNING EXPERIENCES, WE ARE INCREASING STEADILY.
AROUND MID YEAR WE WERE UP TO THE 1800 MARK.
WE DON'T HAVE A LOT OF THE SENIOR EXPERIENCE WORK BASED LEARNING INPUTTED HERE BUT I HAVE EVERY THOUGHT THAT WE ARE GOING TO BE AROUND THE 1900, MAYBE EVEN 2000 MARK.
THE BENCHMARK FOR WORK PLACE LEARNING IS ONLY LIKE 10% AND WE'RE UP TO 65% SO WE'RE DOING VERY WELL IN THE WORK BASED LEARNING EXPERIENCES.
AGAIN, IN THE FALL WITH THE CONSTRUCTION TRADES IN CONDUCTION MANAGEMENT PATHS, WE SHOULD BE LOOKING AT NON TRADITIONAL AREA FOR FEMALES IN THESE COURSES, AND WE SHOULD BE LOOKING AT THE COMPLETER TESTING THAT'S GOING TO BE DONE.
AND WE ARE LOOKING AT WORK PLACE READINESS SKILLS AT WELL AS THIS.
WE'RE LOOKING AT BUILD OUT OF THE FUTURE ENERGY CLUSTER IN THE COURSES OF THE CONSTRUCTION PATHWAY IN THE RENEWABLE AND SUSTAINABLE ENERGY PATH WITHIN CONSTRUCTION.
SO, ALTHOUGH THE APR DID NOT COME BACK THE WAY THAT WE WANTED IT TO LOOK, OBVIOUSLY WE WANT TO MEET THESE TARGET DATA BENCHMARKS, I THINK WE HAVE A REALLY GOOD PLAN AS TO HOW TO MOVE FORWARD AND I SEE MISS DAVIS HERE, ANOTHER ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL FROM TC, BETWEEN HER AND MR. BURCH, WE HAVE WORKED VERY HARD TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE
[00:20:08]
GETTING THE SENIORS TESTED, ESPECIALLY IF THEY COMPLETED LAST YEAR OR THIS YEAR AND WE'RE HOPING IT WILL MAKE A SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCE IN THE DATA POINTS THAT WE SEE NEXT YEAR.SO, DR. JACOBS, I DO HAVE A QUICK QUESTION.
IT IS SOMETHING THAT I'M JUST THINK NOW SO WHEN WE TALK ABOUT NOT MEETING THOSE PARTICULAR BENCH MARKS AND WANTING TO LOOK AT, MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE LOOKING MORE AT STUDENTS, COMPLETERS, MAKING SURE THEY'RE TAKING THE TESTING, TALKING TO THE TEACHERS, WORKING WITH THE ASSISTANT PRINCIPALS AS WELL AS COUNSELORS, AGAINST, WHEN WE DON'T HIT THOSE BENCHMARKS AND WE LOOK AT THE NEXT THREE YEARS OR SO WHERE WE COULD STILL BE IMPACTED, WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? WE DIDN'T HIT THE BENCHMARK, SO DOES THAT MEAN IT AFFECTS FUNDING? DOES IT AFFECT A PARTICULAR CREDIT THAT A STUDENT RECEIVES?
IT DOES NOT AFFECT FUNDING RIGHT NOW, BUT IF YOU DON'T HIT IT FOR THREE YEARS, THERE IS A STATE PLAN, AN ACTION PLAN, YOU DO HAVE TO WORK ON.
FOR INSTANCE, WITH THE NON TRADITIONAL PIECE NOT BEING MET, EVERY YEAR IN THE PERKINS PLAN, I DO HAVE TO PUT THAT WE ARE PUTTING TOGETHER PATHWAYS EVERY YEAR TO PROMOTE NON TRADITIONAL STUDENTS IN THE PATHWAY.
THAT WILL PROBABLY BE PUT IN IF WE DON'T MEET THE DATA POINTS IN THE NEXT TWO YOURS.
WE REALLY HAVE TO WORK HARD THIS YEAR AND NEXT YEAR BECAUSE WE ARE APPLYING A CATCH UP GAME, ESSENTIALLY, IF YOU THINK ABOUT IT.
THESE STUDENTS WE DIDN'T HAVE A PLATFORM FOR TESTING THEM BUT NOW THE VENDORS ARE ONLINE AND MAKING IT PRETTY EASY TO GET THEM REGISTERED AND TEST VIRTUALLY.
HOWEVER, YOU WILL SEE IN ONE OF THE NEXT PIECES ON THE AGENDA THAT SOME OF OUR FUNDING, RESERVE FUNDS, WERE PULLED BACK BECAUSE WE DID NOT UTILIZE ALL OF THE TESTING MONEY.
ONE, THE TESTING WASN'T AVAILABLE.
AND TWO YOU CAN USE TESTING MONEY TO PURCHASE COMPUTERS OR REVIEW MATERIALS HOWEVER WE COULDN'T ORDER ANY COMPUTERS.
THERE WAS A SHORTAGE OF COMPUTERS AND WE HAD A PROBLEM WITH DELIVERY TO SCHOOLS THAT WE HAD A VERY WE COULDN'T HAVE ANYTHING DELIVERED UNTIL AFTER AUGUST, AND YOU HAVE TO UTILIZE AND SPEND THE MONEY BY JUNE 30.
SO THERE WAS ABOUT $4,800 LEFT ON THE TABLE, AND THAT ACTUALLY PULLED THE RESERVE FUNDS FROM ACPS.
I JUST TALKED TO THE VIRGINIA DEPARTMENT OF ED AND THEY' SURED ME WE'RE NOT THE ONLY SCHOOL DIVISION THAT FOUND OURSELVES IN THAT PLACE.
THEY SAID WE ARE ONE OF THE FEW THAT HAD UNDER $5,000 LEFT ON THE TABLE.
MANY SCHOOL DIVISIONS HAD 10 TO $20,000 THEY COULDN'T SPEND.
SO BUT YOU HAVE TO SPEND IT ALL DOWN BY JUNE 30 IN ORDER TO GET THE RESERVE MONEY.
I HEARD THE SCHOOL COUNSELORS MENTIONED A COUPLE OF TIMES.
I'M WONDERING ABOUT THE COORDINATION BETWEEN THE CTE PROGRAM AND THE SCHOOL COUNSELORS FOR THEM TO BE AWARE OF EVERYTHING THAT IS GOING ON.
I WONDER IF THERE IS A BRIEFING GIVEN TO SCHOOL COUNSELORS AT THE START OF THE YEAR.
AND I'M WONDERING AGAIN, I APOLOGIZE FOR NOT KNOWING THIS, WHETHER THERE IS A CTE COUNSELOR IN THE SCHOOL COUNSELING OFFICE.
>> SO FUNNY YOU SHOULD SAY THAT, BECAUSE WHEN I PRESENTED TO THEM IN APRIL, DARRYL SAMSON, WHO IS THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF THE SCHOOL COUNSELORS, SAID HE WOULD LIKE TO DO THIS MORE OFTEN.
I'VE EVEN TALKED TO MELISSA ABOUT HAVING A HIGH SCHOOL COUNSELOR ON OUR CTE ADVISORY COMMITTEE.
[00:25:01]
EVEN ADDRESSING THE MIDDLE SCHOOL COUNSELORS TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE A GOOD FOUNDATION WITH STUDENTS IN THE 9TH GRADE IS REALLY IMPORTANT.SO, YES, EVERYTHING YOU'VE SAID, YES, ABSOLUTELY.
>> AND I'M GLAD YOU MENTIONED MIDDLE SCHOOL BECAUSE I JUST WANT TO GIVE A PLUG HERE IN THE COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT PLAN, IN THE POVERTY PRIORITY, THERE IS AN AREA THERE IS A CERTAIN AND PARTICULARLY A TACTIC THAT MAKING SURE IN THE MIDDLE SCHOOLS THAT CTE IS MORE WIDELY KNOWN AND INCORPORATED NATIONAL CURRICULUM AND AWARENESS ACROSS THE MIDDLE SCHOOL.
>> >> WHEN THE STUDENTS ARE TAKING THE INDUSTRY CERTIFICATION EXAMS, THESE ARE EMPLOYABLE CERTIFICATIONS? FOR EXAMPLE, ASE, TAKING THE ASE EXAM AND GETTING THE ASE CERTIFICATION AND THINGS?
>> THAT IS CORRECT, OR THEY'RE DOING LICENSURE TESTING FOR NURSE AIDE, COSMETOLOGY, EMT, IN THE FUTURE, SERV TECH.
ABSOLUTELY, THEY ARE CERTIFICATES BUT COUNTED AS THE STATE INDUSTRY CREDENTIALS.
WHERE CAN I GET A LIST OF THESE.
IF I CAN HELP YOU OFFER COLLEGE CREDIT FOR ANY OF THESE INDUSTRY CERTIFICATION EXAMS. STUDENTS CAN COME TO A CTE PROGRAM, A GREAT WAY TO GIVE IT TO HIGH SCHOOL COUNSELORS IF YOU GO THROUGH THIS YOU DECIDE TO GO TO NOVA, YOU CAN GET COLLEGE CREDIT.
IT IS GREAT FOR STUDENTS AND A GREAT WAY TO PARTNER.
>> WE HAVE OVER 500 INDUSTRY CREDENTIALS AND ALL THE COURSES ARE ALIGNED TO THEM AND YOU HAVE TO HAVE AT LEAST 93% CORRELATION TO THE COMPETENCIES IN ORDER TO BE ADOPTED BY THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION CTE DEPARTMENT.
THE DOCUMENT IS ONLINE, VIRGINIA DEPARTMENT OF ED BUT I CAN SEND IT TO YOU PAUSE I HAVE IT DIRECT.
SO I WILL SEND THAT TO YOU SHAWN.
>> WONDERFUL, THANK YOU SO MUCH.
>> CAN I JUMP IN WITH MY QUESTION NOW?
I'M MICHELLE RIEF ON THE SCHOOL BOARD.
CAN YOU REMIND US WHAT THE CTE GRADUATION REQUIREMENT IS.
I KNOW FROM TIME TO TIME THAT CHANGES SO IF YOU COULD REMIND US OF WHAT THAT IS AND ONE COMMENT OR QUESTION, I'M CURIOUS HOW WE'RE APPROACHING THE STUDENTS ABOUT DOING THE TESTING.
I WOULD HOPE THAT WE'RE TRYING TO EXPLAIN TO THEM THE BENEFIT OF THE TESTING TO THEM, IT IS NOT ABOUT OUR DATA COLLECTION BUT IT IS A BENEFIT TO YOU BECAUSE IT CAN HELP YOU WITH YOUR CAREER PLANS OR WHAT NOT.
>> YOU MAKE A VERY GOOD POINT, AND YOU ARE CORRECT THAT FOR TODAY'S PRESENTATION I HAVE TO EXPLAIN THE DATA AND HOW IT IS CORRELATED, SO YOU ARE CORRECT IN THAT STUDENTS, IF THEY ARE IF THEY HAVE AN ADVANCED DIPLOMA WITH THE NEW REQUIREMENT, AND MICKEY, I HOPE YOU WILL HELP ME OUT WITH THIS SINCE YOU'RE COMING FROM BOTH THE DUAL ENROLLMENT AND CTE PIECE THAT STUDENTS NEED TO HAVE EITHER A AP DUAL ENROLLMENT INDUSTRIAL CREDENTIAL WORK BASED LEARNING EXPERIENCE IN ORDER TO GRADUATE, AND THAT IS WITH THE NEW GRADUATION INDEX.
MICKEY, WANT TO JUMP IN ON THAT?
>> I CAN ADD TO THAT IT REQUIRED ANY STUDENT ON THE STANDARD DIPLOMA NEEDED A CTE CERTIFICATION.
DUE COVID THERE WERE SOME EXCEPTIONS MADE.
MOVING INTO NEXT YEAR, THERE ARE NEW GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS AND THE STANDARD OR ADVANCED DIPLOMA, STUDENTS NEED HONOR COURSE, AP COURSE, DUAL ENROLLMENT COURSE OR CTE CERTIFICATION SO IF THEY HAVE ONE OF THOSE FOUR, THAT MEETS THE REQUIREMENTS.
>> I THINK WHERE THE CONFUSION CAME BACK IS WHEN THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION PUT OUT THE STATEMENT THAT INDUSTRY CREDENTIALS WERE NOT NECESSARY TO GRADUATE,
[00:30:02]
AND THEREFORE, WHAT HAPPENS IS NOW THAT AFFECTS WHERE OUR DATA IS.AND THAT'S WHAT I'VE BEEN TALKING TO MISS DAVIS AND MR. BURCH ABOUT, IT IS REALLY THE CULMINATION OF THE COURSE, THE VALUABLE, STACKABLE CERTIFICATION CREDENTIAL THAT STUDENTS CAN TAKE WITH THEM.
IT IS REINFORCED BY WHAT OUR INDUSTRY ADVISORY BOARD PARTNERS ARE SAYING IS NEEDED OUT THERE IN THE WORLD OF WORK.
AND, WHAT I'M HOPING TO DO IS MAKE SURE THAT THEY, EACH OF THE INDUSTRY ADVISORY BOARDS, HAS A LOOK AT THE COURSES AND THE INDUSTRY CREDENTIAL THAT WE ARE GOING TO PROVIDE FOR THAT COURSE AND HAVE THEM REVIEW THAT AND GIVE US SOME FEEDBACK ON THAT.
DO WE HAVE ANY MORE QUESTIONS FOR DR. JACOBS? ALL RIGHT.
[CTE Advisory Committee Membership]
SO, MOVING ON TO THE NEXT ITEM AND THAT IS WHERE WE ARE GOING TO TALK A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT THE CURRENT MEMBER ADVISORY COMMITTEE, HE THE NUMBER OF MEMBERS THAT WE HAVE ON THE COMMITTEE RIGHT NOW, AS WELL AS SOME OF THE OTHER DISCUSSION TOPICS ON MEMBERS THAT TERMS ARE THAT HAVE TERMS THAT ARE COMING UP, AND OPENINGS.SO, AS OF THE RIGHT NOW, THE MAXIMUM SEATS THAT WE CAN HAVE ON OUR ADVISORY COMMITTEE OR 17, AND WE ARE FULL.
NOT INCLUDING DR. JACOBS AND DR. REEVES SEATS AS SCHOOL BOARD MEMBER AND CTE COORDINATOR.
SO ALL TOGETHER THERE'S 19 OF US THAT REPRESENT THE CTE ADVISORY COMMITTEE.
AS OF RIGHT NOW, THERE ARE NINE OPENINGS, AND YOU WILL SEE IN THE NOTES DOWN HERE THAT TWO ARE PEOPLE THAT HAVE RESIGNED, SO ALEX COOLEY WHO WAS REPRESENTING NOVA MOVED ON.
THERE'S ALSO ANOTHER COMMITTEE MEMBER THAT'S REPRESENTING AT AS A PARENT THAT WILL ALSO NOT BE BACK NEXT YEAR.
AND THERE ARE SEVEN THAT WE ARE CALLING TERMED OUT, AS IN THEIR TERMS HAVE EXPIRED AND ONLY ONE OF THOSE SEVEN PEOPLE CAN APPLY FOR ONE MORE TWO YEAR TERM PER THE GUIDELINES OR REQUIREMENTS IN OUR BY LAWS.
SO WHAT WE'VE ALSO PROVIDED IN THIS NEXT BULLET HERE ARE THE NEW MEMBER AND SPECIAL POPULATIONS THAT WE'LL NEED ON THE COMMITTEE TO ESSENTIALLY QUALIFY FOR THE PERKINS GRANT FUNDING.
AN AUTOMOTIVE TECHNOLOGY PERSON, WE NEED SOMEONE ON THE COMMITTEE REPRESENTING AS PARENT, BUSINESS INDUSTRY PARTNERS, ECONOMICALLY DISADVANTAGED, HOMELESS, FOSTER CARE, MILITARY, SINGLE PARENT AND UNEMPLOYED PARENT.
WE COULD HAVE A COMMITTEE MEMBER REPRESENTING AS PARENT AND THEY COULD ALSO BE A SINGLE PARENT OR IN THE MILITARY.
PLEASE, IF YOU ARE NUMBER ONE, INTERESTED IN VOL IF YOU CAN, PUT IN AN APPLICATION FOR ONE MORE TERM, PLEASE DO SO.
AND IF YOU ARE TERMED OUT OR YOU AREN'T SURE, CONTACT DR. JACOBS AND I AND WE WILL LET YOU KNOW IF YOUR TERM IS UP, IF YOU NEED TO FILL OUT ANOTHER APPLICATION OR WHATEVER THAT MAY BE.
AND TALKING TO SUSAN, THERE ARE EXEMPTION WE CAN MAKE, WE'VE DONE IT IN THE PAST, IF WE CAN IDENTIFY A MEMBER THAT COULD HELP US REACH 2 3 OF THE CATEGORIES NEEDED FOR PERKINS GRANT FUNDING.
AND IF WE GET TO NEXT YEAR AND REALIZE WE STILL HAVE A NUMBER OF OPENINGS AND HAVE PEOPLE IN THAT REPRESENTATIVE POPULATION THAT WE NEED.
>> WE HAVE THE EL POPULATION REPRESENTED AND SPECIAL EDUCATION AND THESE ARE THE OTHERS.
SO THE PARENT COULD EVEN BE A BUSINESS PARTNER, COULD BE A SINGLE PARENT.
ANY OF OUR CURRENT MEMBERS, IF WE CHECK THE BOX WITH THIS, AND I KNOW ALLEN, WE HAVE TALKED ABOUT THIS BEFORE, THAT YOU CHECK SEVERAL OF THESE BOXES FOR US WITH THE AGENCY THAT YOU WORK FOR.
AND SO DAVID IS ON HIS SECOND TERM SO I'M NOT SURE IF HE IS GOING TO WANT TO GO FOR, OR YOU, TOO, ALLEN, FOR A THIRD TERM WITH THAT SPECIAL EXCEPTION.
THAT WOULD BE AN EXAMPLE OF THAT.
SO, AGAIN, REACH OUT TO DR. JACOBS AND I IF YOU JUST WANT TO FIND OUT SOME MORE ABOUT YOUR SPECIFIC TERM AND IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO REAPPLY.
OR, IF YOU HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS FOR OTHER COMMITTEE MEMBERS, SO PLEASE REACH OUT TO YOUR NETWORKS IN YOUR ORGANIZATIONS IF YOU IDENTIFY SOMEONE YOU THINK
[00:35:05]
MIGHT BE A GOOD FIT FOR OUR COMPANY.SO, IN THE SAME TOPIC OF CONVERSATION, LIKE WE JUST MENTIONED, OUR BYLAWS, EVERY MEMBER HAS EACH TERM IS TWO YEARS, AND WITH A MAX OF TWO TERMS. AND I'M REACHING THE END OF MY LAST TERM HERE WITH THE COMMITTEE, SO NEXT YEAR WE WILL BE LOOKING FOR, IF DAVID DOESN'T COME BACK AND DECIDES HE DOESN'T WANT TO BE VICE CHAIR, WE WILL BE LOOKING FOR NOMINATIONS FOR VICE CHAIR FOR NEXT YEAR AND ESSENTIALLY WHAT HAPPENS IS, AFTER THAT YEAR, FOR THE YEAR 22 23, YOU WOULD BECOME CHAIR.
WE'RE ALSO LOOKING FOR NOMINATIONS FOR SECRETARY.
IF UNIVERSITY AN IDEA OR WANT TO NOMINATE YOURSELF, PLEASE SEND AN E MAIL TO DR. JACOBS AND I IF YOU'RE INTERESTED OR WOULD LIKE TO NOMINATE SOMEONE.
>> MELISSA, I THOUGHT WE HAD AN AUTOMOTIVE TECHNOLOGY PERSON ON THE CTE ALREADY.
IS THAT ONE OF THE PEOPLE THAT RESIGNED?
>> NO, PATRICK, THOSE YEARS IS UP SO HE WOULD NEED TO REAPPLY FOR THE SECOND TERM.
WE WOULD HAVE TO HAVE A PERSON ON BECAUSE OF THE LICENSURE.
IF PATRICK DOESN'T RE UP, WE HAVE TO HAVE AUTOMOTIVE.
WE HAVE CARPET TREE AND CONSTRUCTION.
ARE THERE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS?
OKAY, SO IF NO MORE QUESTIONS, WE WILL MOVE ON TO NEW BUSINESS.
[New Business]
AND FOR THIS DISCUSSION, WE WANTED TO TALK ABOUT THE 20 NEXT YEAR'S MEETING AGENDA.TRICIA, DR. JACOBS AND I PUT TOGETHER TWO DIFFERENT OPTIONS.
WE'VE SPOKEN IN PAST MEETINGS ABOUT FREQUENCY OF MEETINGS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR AS WELL AS THE TIME SLOTS.
YOU'VE SEEN OVER THE PAST YEAR THAT WE HAVE GONE OVER IN OUR TIME MORE AND MORE, THERE IS A LOT OF INFORMATION WE'RE BRINGING TO THE COMMITTEE NOW.
AND THERE IS ALSO INTEREST IN GETTING TO KNOW EVERYONE ON THE COMMITTEE, EVERYONE BEING A LITTLE BIT MORE ENGAGED, BRING FORWARD MORE INFORMATION, HAVING MORE MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE BE SPECIAL GUEST SPEAKERS TO TALK ABOUT THEIR PARTICULAR AREAS AND BRING FORTH DATA THAT WE THINK WOULD BE VALUABLE TO CTE.
SO, WITH THAT BEING SAID, WE PUT TOGETHER TWO DIFFERENT OPTIONS HERE.
[00:40:05]
THE FIRST ONE WOULD BE HAVING A MEETING EVERY OTHER MONTH, SO WE WOULD ADD TWO MEETINGS TO WHAT OUR CURRENT MODEL IS, THE LAST ONE BEING ONLY FOUR, THE ANNUAL REPORT COMMITTEE, THAN WOULD BE CHAIR, VICE CHAIR AND SECRETARY AND DR. JACOBS JUST TO GO OVER THE ANNUAL REPORT AND FINALIZE IT.AND THAT WOULD BE FROM SEPTEMBER THROUGH JUNE 7 AND THE MEETING TIME WOULD STILL BE AN HOUR, SO FROM 4:00 TO 5:00 P.M.
THE OTHER OPTION WOULD BE TO MAINTAIN THE QUARTERLY MEETING SCHEDULE, ANNUAL QUARTERLY MEETING SCHEDULE BUT THE MEETING TIME WOULD GO FROM AN HOUR TO AN HOUR AND A HALF SO WE CAN FIT IN MORE CONTENT AND ALLOW FOR MORE DISCUSSION.
SO, I GUESS WITH THAT BEING SAID, ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS, ANY CONCERNS, ANY COMMENTS ON TWO DIFFERENT OPTIONS HERE?
>> AND I ACTUALLY WOULD GO FOR OPTION 1.
I THINK THERE ARE TOO MANY THINGS GOING ON.
TUNE MEET QUARTERLY, I'M GLAD WE ARE MEETING TODAY BUT ONE OF THE THINGS WE DIDN'T TALK ABOUT IS THE SCHOOL SYSTEM IS GETTING FUNDS FROM THE AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN AND THE SURVEY IS DUE ON THE 11TH AND WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT OR AT LEAST ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO GO IN AND REPLY TO THAT SURVEY AND MAKE SURE THERE IS A CTE INFLUENCE INTO THAT SURVEY.
THERE IS A LOT OF OTHER THINGS GOING ON LIKE THAT.
PARTICULARLY IN THE RECOVERY TIME PERIOD, THAT IS HAPPENING IN THE CITY, HOPEFULLY THEY WILL BE MUCH MORE FOCUSED ON CTE'S INVOLVEMENT IN RECOVERY AND HOW THAT CAN HELP THE STUDENTS.
SHAWNELL, DO YOU HAVE SOME COMMENT?
>> I KNOW THE FREQUENCY OF MEETINGS CAN BE INTIMIDATING FOR SOME, BUT I LIKE OPTION ONE, AS WELL.
I BELIEVE SOMETIMES WE WAIT TOO LATE TO RESPOND TO WHAT OUR STUDENTS NEED FROM US.
AND I LIKE THE FACT THAT THREE OF THOSE MEETINGS ARE IN A TIME FRAME THAT ALLOWS US TO HEAR FROM CTE TEACHERS, HEAR SOMEWHAT HAPPENING WITH TESTING, HEAR WHAT THEY NEED FROM OUR COMMUNITY IN TERMS OF HELPING US WITH GETTING KIDS IN, YOU KNOW, INTO DIFFERENT PROGRAMS SO I LIKE TO DO THAT EARLIER RATHER THAN RESPONDING LATER.
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR INPUT AND THANK YOU, ALLEN, AND DAVID, AS WELL.
ARE THERE ANY OTHER COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS ON THE TWO DIFFERENT OPTIONS HERE OR DISCUSSIONS? OKAY.
SO, DR. JACOBS, I GUESS, SUSAN, DO WE HAVE TO PULL AN OFFICIAL VOTE FOR THIS ONE OR ARE WE THINK WE CAN JUST ASK FOR MORE FEEDBACK VIA E MAIL, MAYBE?
I'M WORKING AT THE SAME TIME SO I WAS ONLY HALF LISTENING SO YOU ARE VOTING ON YOU'RE ASKING TO VOTE ON THE SCHEDULE?
>> YES, WE'RE LOOKING FOR INPUT AND A VOTE, I GUESS, YES, TO MAKE A DECISION ON THE MEETING FREQUENCIES FOR NEXT YEAR.
>> SO, I DON'T KNOW THAT YOU HAVE TO DO AN OFFICIAL VOTE IN ORDER TO IMPLEMENT ONE OF THESE, BUT IF YOU WANT TO TAKE A VOTE TO GET PEOPLE'S PERSONS, BUT THAT DOESN'T NECESSARILY HAVE TO BE BINDING EITHER.
>> AND IT WOULD BE BETTER TO DO IT IN THE MEETING HERE FOR THOSE THAT ARE PRESENT AND THEN REACH OUT TO THOSE THAT ARE NOT.
SO, YEAH, I GUESS BASED ON THAT, WE HEARD FROM THREE DIFFERENT MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE, AND I WOULD SAY I AM LEANING TOWARDS OPTION ONE, AS WELL, BETWEEN 4 5,
[00:45:02]
JUST FOR THE FREQUENCY OF IT AND BEING ABLE TO HEAR BACK FROM THE COMMUNITY LEADERSHIP, TALK MORE ABOUT WHAT IS GOING ON THROUGHOUT THE SCHOOL YEAR.IT SOUNDS LIKE OPTION ONE IS WHERE WE'RE GOING TO HEAD TOWARDS FOR THAT MEETING FREQUENCY.
DR. JACOBS, DO YOU HAVE ANY COMMENT? ARE THERE ANY INFORMAL OR OTHERWISE OBJECTIONS? DO A POLL TO SEE OPTION ONE OR TWO WITH WHO THE VOTING MEMBERS WOULD BE.
SO IF YOU ARE A GUEST, I WOULD ASK YOU TO HOLD YOUR THOUGHTS ON THAT.
BUT FOR OUR MEMBERS, I WOULD JUST GO THROUGH AND ASK, FOR INSTANCE, THE FIRST ONE, MELISSA, YOU SAID OPTION ONE.
>> NELSON? ARE YOU ABLE TO ANSWER?
I MEAN, I DON'T HAVE A PREFERENCE.
>> I DON'T THINK I SEE AMY ON.
>> MY PREFERENCE IS OPTION ONE.
>> OPTION TWO, BUT OPTION ONE IS ONE.
>> AND THEN MONICA? AND LINDA?
>> DR. RIEF, I'M INTERESTED IN WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT OPTION ONE AND TWO.
>> I AM A NON VOTING MEMBER BY ALSO FAVOR OPTION ONE.
SO BASED ON MAJORITY, IT LOOKS LIKE OPTION ONE WILL BE A PATH FORWARD FOR MEETING FREQUENCY.
YEAH, JUST TO ECHO SOME OF WHAT EVERYONE WAS SAYING, UNDERSTANDABLE THAT WE'VE DONE THE QUARTERLY MEETINGS, YOU KNOW, FOR SOME YEARS NOW AND SOMETIMES IT IS A LITTLE INTIMIDATING TO SEE, YOU KNOW, SO MANY MORE MEETINGS, OR TWO MORE MEETINGS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR, BUT THIS WILL ALSO PROVIDE US THE ABILITY TO RESPOND TO WHAT IS GOING ON IN CTE MORE QUICKLY AS WELL AS TO ADDRESS AND TALK ABOUT AND ENGAGE IN ALL OF THE CRITICAL, IMPORTANT, SIGNIFICANT THINGS WE MAYBE
[00:56:47]
DIDN'T HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO DO PREVIOUSLY.[Announcements by Members]
[01:03:04]
IF THERE AREN'T ANY MORE QUESTIONS OR DISCUSSION POINTS FOR THAT, THEN I[01:07:06]
WOULD LIKE TO MOVE ON TO THE NEXT ITEM, WHICH IS THE 2020 21 CTE ANNUAL REPORT[01:07:08]
DRAFT.SO I'M STILL SHARING THE SCREEN HERE BECAUSE, LIKE I SAID BEFORE, WE KEPT ALL OF THE NOTES AND EVERYTHING ON HERE SO EVERYONE CAN FOLLOW ALONG.
SO, WHAT WE DID, WHAT DR. JACOBS AND I DID, WAS WE TOOK THE DOCUMENT THAT WE'VE BEEN RECORDING FOR THE PAST YEAR, WHERE WE WERE TRACKING OUR SCOPE OF WORK AND ALL OF THE DIFFERENT HIGHLIGHTS THAT HELP US TO NOW TRACE BACK TO ALL OF THE OBJECTIVES AND GOALS WE WANTED TO DO THROUGHOUT THE YEAR AND WE DECIDED TO ENTER THAT INFORMATION IN HERE TO HELP US WITH THE ANNUAL REPORT.
AND, DR. JACOBS, JUST MAKE SURE I'M NOTE MISSING ANYTHING OR PASSING OVER WHAT WE TALKED ABOUT EARLIER, BUT AGAIN, SO WE TOOK THE FOLLOWING ITEMS FOR CONSIDERATION FOR THE SCOPE OF WORK, AND WE ADDED THEM HERE.
SO INCREASING THE CTE AC MEMBERSHIP TO EXPLORE SCHOLARSHIP OPPORTUNITIES, MONITOR CTE COURSE OFFERINGS, REVIEW THE CTE ANNUAL PERFORMANCE REPORT AND CERTIFICATION TESTING.
CONTINUE TO INCREASE AWARENESS OF CTE PROGRAMS AND APPROVE A NEW LOCAL PERKINS PLAN FOR THE ACADEMIC YEAR.
AND AGAIN, IT SAYS HERE, IDENTIFY THE FOLLOWING CTE PROGRAM STRENGTHS.
WE IDENTIFIES THE DIVERSE COURSE OFFERINGS, NUMEROUS COMPLETER SEQUENCES, INDUSTRY CERTIFICATION OPTIONS, CTE STUDENT ORGANIZATIONS, DUAL ENROLLMENT OPPORTUNITIES, CAREER PATHWAY DEVELOPMENT, BUSINESS INDUSTRY PARTNERSHIPS AND TEACHING WORK PLACE READINESS SKILLS.
AND DR. JACOBS, IS THIS WHERE WE IS THIS SECTION HERE WHERE WE ADDED WHAT WE PULLED FROM THE DOCUMENT PREVIOUSLY? OKAY, YES.
SO IN OUR MAJOR HIGHLIGHTS WE INCLUDED THAT DOCUMENT WE'VE BEEN REVIEWING VIA THE SCOPE OF WORK EVERY YEAR AND WE PLUG THAT IN HERE SO WE IDENTIFIED THAT MEMBERSHIP IN ENERGY AND CARPENTRY AND CONSTRUCTION, SO THE COMMITTEE MEMBERS WE ADDED THIS YEAR, IN THOSE PARTICULAR AREAS, WE TALKED ABOUT THE CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT AND TRADES PATHWAYS THAT WAS DEVELOPED WITH NOVA AND MID ATLANTIC CARPENTRY TRAINING CENTERS.
THE MID ATLANTIC CARPENTRY WEBINAR TRAINING FOR JOBS, GRADUATES, STUDENTS AND HIGH SCHOOL SENIORS.
WE TALKED ABOUT VIRTUAL WORK BASED LEARNING EXPERIENCE, NEW PARTNERSHIPS WITH TRAINING AND ROTARY CLUB SCHOLARSHIP WAS AWARDS TO A FEMALE MARKETING AND ENTREPRENEUR PATHWAY STUDENT.
WE WILL TALK A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT THAT TOWARDS THE END OF THE MEETING.
AND THEN THE PARTNERSHIP WITH THE IAB, THE MGM NATIONAL HARBOR HOSTING A WEBINAR FOR STUDENTS.
APPROVAL OF THE OVER ALL PERKINS PLAN.
RENEWAL OF THE CTE ANNUAL PERFORMANCE REPORT.
AND APPROVAL FOR THE NEW CONSTRUCTION TRADES MANAGEMENT PATHWAYS.
AND WORK BASED CONFERENCE HAPPENING JUNE 16 17.
AGAIN, THIS PARTICULAR SECTION OF MAJOR HIGHLIGHTS WAS INCLUDED FROM THAT DOCUMENT THAT WE'VE BEEN REVIEWING EVERY MEETING JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE ACTUALLY ALIGNED WITH AND ARE PARTICIPATING AND MEETING SOME OF THE GOALS THAT WE PUT IN OUR SCOPE OF WORK FOR THE PAST YEAR.
>> SO, THAT DOCUMENT THAT MELISSA IS TALKING ABOUT IS THE SCOPE OF WORK.
SO WE PUT IT IN A CHART FORM AND REMEMBER WE LOOKED AT EVERY PIECE OF THE SCOPE OF WORK AND WE LOOKED AT EACH OF THEM EVERY TIME WE MET AND WE WROTE SOMETHING IN THAT CHART.
AND WHAT WE DID IS WE ACTUALLY JUST COPIED IT FROM THAT CHART AND THOSE HAVE NOW BECOME THE HIGHLIGHTS FOR THE SCOPE OF WORK.
LAST YEAR WE SAT HERE AND KEPT GOING BACK AND FORTH, WHAT SHOULD WE WRITE IN THERE, WE'VE TAKEN IT FROM THE SCOPE OF WORK DOCUMENT WE'VE MAINTAINED AT EVERY QUARTERLY MEETING.
>>ALLEN, DID YOU HAVE A QUESTION?
ONE THING I THINK WE NEED TO ALSO INCLUDE IN HERE IS THE BRIEFING AND INPUT WE PROVIDED TO THE HIGH SCHOOL PROJECT.
WE PARTICULARLY WITH PUSHED FOR MORE CTE INFLUENCE IN THE REDESIGN OF THE CAMPUS, ET CETERA.
I THOUGHT THAT WAS A PRETTY IMPORTANT HIGHLIGHT FOR US.
>> SO THE EDUCATIONAL SPECIFICATIONS FOR THE LABS.
SO THE NEXT ITEM IS TO GO OVER THE PROPOSED DRAFT THAT DR. JACOBS AND I PUT TOGETHER FOR NEXT YEAR FOR THE SCOPE OF WORK.
AND, WE HIGHLIGHTED WHAT THE CHANGES WHAT CHANGES OR UPDATES WERE INCLUDED JUST SO CONCERN VERY QUICKLY TAKE A LOOK AT IT AND QUICKLY IDENTIFY WHAT WAS CHANGED SO FOR THE FIRST BULLET THERE, WE ADDED THIS HIGHLIGHTS VERSION.
SO WE JUST WE ADDED MORE INFORMATION TO IT.
WE WANTED TO INCLUDE REPRESENTATIVES FROM THE ADDITIONAL PROGRAM AREAS THAT ARE LISTED VERSUS WHAT WE HAD BEFORE, WHICH WAS JUST TO INCLUDE REPRESENTATIVES FROM ENERGY AND CARPENTRY AND CONSTRUCTION.
THE NEXT ONE, WE CHANGED THE GRAMMAR A LITTLE BIT.
WE WANTED TO MONITOR THE CTE COURSES.
>> BECAUSE THAT COMPREHENSIVE LOCAL NEEDS ASSESSMENT FOR THE PERKINS GRANT WILL NEED TO BE UPDATED FOR NEXT YEAR'S PERKINS SO THIS COMMITTEE IS GOING TO BE A VERY IMPORTANT COMMITTEE TO EXPLORE THE COURSE OFFERINGS, WHAT'S NEEDED, WHAT STUDENTS WANT, WHAT TEACHERS FEEL IS NEEDED AND COUNSELORS WILL BE BROUGHT IN SO ALL STAKEHOLDERS WILL BE A PART OF THAT LOCAL NEEDS ASSESSMENT.
AND, THEN, THE OTHER MAJOR CHANGE HERE, IF YOU WILL, IS FOR THIS BULLET WHERE WE TALKED ABOUT REVIEWING THAT CTE ANNUAL PERFORMANCE REPORT.
WE ADDED THE NOTE THAT WE WANTED TO EVALUATE AND MONITOR THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE CTE PROGRAM COMPLETERS, SPECIFICALLY FOR SENIORS.
AND THAT GOES BACK TO THE DISCUSSION THAT WE HAD IN THE BEGINNING OF THE MEETING WHERE WE MISSED SOME OF OUR MARKERS FOR THOSE COMPLETERS.
WE JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE WE'RE PUTTING IN A LITTLE BIT MORE EFFORT AND ENGAGING MORE AS IT PERTAINS TO MONITORING.
YOU KNOW, WHAT THE SENIORS ARE DOING, WHAT THE CTE STUDENTS ARE DOING AS IT PERTAINS TO TESTING AND MAKING SURE TO THAT THE REPRESENTATIVE STAKEHOLDERS,
[01:10:01]
LIKE THE TEACHERS AND ALL OF US, ARE MORE ENGAGED IN MAKING SURE WE ARE SPECIFICALLY LOOKING AT THE SENIORS AND THEIR PARTICIPATION IN CTE COURSES.AND, AGAIN, THE LAST CHANGE THERE IS FOR THE APPROPRIATE ACADEMIC CAREER FOR NEXT YEAR SO 22 23.
>> ONE LAST FINE CONSIDER, ALLEN, THIS IS WHAT YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT WITH WORKING WITH THE EDUCATION DESIGN TEAM AND THE EDUCATIONAL SCOPE FOR THE LAB, IT SHOULD BE CENTERED AROUND THE COLLABORATION WITH THE EDUCATION DESIGN TEAM TO MAKE SURE THE LABS ARE MOVING FORWARD.
NOT ONLY WILL WE PUT THAT IN AS A HIGHLIGHT, WE WILL ALSO ADD IT AS A WORK PLAN, SCOPE OF WORK.
>> LET ME ADD, THEY'RE MAKING SURE THE SPECIFICATIONS FOR THE LAB ARE MOVING FORWARD BECAUSE THE EDT IS NOT NECESSARILY MAKING THAT DETERMINATION.
>> I WAS THINKING IT WOULD ENCOMPASS THE COLLABORATIVE WORK WITH THE SPEED EDT.
DR. MAN? INCLUDE THE FACILITIES AND OPERATIONS THERE, SOMEONE ELSE READING IT MIGHT THINK THE EDT HAS A LOT MORE POWER THAN THEY HAVE IN A LOT OF THOSE THINGS.
IT MAY COME DOWN TO A TECHNICAL THING THE ARCHITECTS AND ENGINEERS END UP DECIDING.
ARE THERE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS ON THE SCOPE OF WORK.
>> WHEN WE SAY MONITOR, I'M ASSUMING THAT IN NEXT YEAR, WE WILL HAVE DIFFERENT CHECK THROUGHOUT THIS SCHOOL YEAR RATHER THAN NOT AT THE END.
YOU KNOW, EVERY COUPLE OF MONTHS TO SAY HOW IS THE PROGRESS GOING ON? IS THAT OUR PLAN?
BECAUSE THAT IS IN THE WORK, THAT IS PART OF THE CTE ADVISORY COMMITTEE REPORTING OUT.
WE WILL BRING BACK THAT DOCUMENT, THAT TABLE IF YOU WILL, WITH ALL OF THE LINE ITEMS FOR THE SCOPE OF WORK, ALLEN.
AND WE WILL GO THROUGH THEM EVERY MEETING, LIKE WE HAVE.
THIS TIME WITH MORE FREQUENCY, WE WILL BE ABLE TO HAVE OUR CHECKS, IF YOU WILL, JUST TO MAKE SURE WE'RE CONTINUING TO MONITOR PROGRESS.
AND IT IS 5:03, SO I WANT TO MAKE SURE I AM RESPECTFUL OF EVERYONE'S TIME.
MOVING ON TO THE ANNOUNCEMENT BY MEMBERS, SO LYNDSEY SCHUWOLF WAS AWARDED ONE OF THE ROTARY CLUB'S $2,500 SCHOLARSHIPS.
WE WANT TO MAKE SURE WE'RE TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THE SCHOLARSHIPS SO A SHOUT OUT TO THE CTE STUDENT THERE WITH THAT ANNOUNCEMENT.
>> HI, THIS IS >> SO SORRY, KEEP GOING.
I WAS INTERRUPTING BUT I WANT TO SAY SOMETHING BEFORE YOU ADJOURN.
>> I JUST WANTED TO MENTION, WOULD THIS BE THE TO TIME MENTION THE STUDENTS WHO RECEIVED HCOF SCHOLARSHIPS IN THE HEALTH SCIENCES, THERE ARE A TOTAL OF SEVEN STUDENTS.
AS A MATTER OF FACT, I'M LOOKING AT THE NEWSLETTER THAT WILL BE GOING OUT AND IT IS ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR, FIVE, SIX, SEVEN, EIGHT.
NANA IN MEDICAL LABORATORY SCIENCES.
CAREER OPPORTUNITIES PROGRAM, WHICH IS A FEDERALLY FUNDED GRANT PROGRAM FROM THE HEALTH RESOURCES PROGRAM, WHICH AIMS TO GUIDE INDIVIDUALS WITH DISADVANTAGED BACKGROUNDS WITH PIPELINES TO HEALTH PROFESSIONS.
THERE WERE SEVEN RISING SENIORS, OR I SHOULD SAY EIGHT RISING SENIORS WHO ACTUALLY RECEIVED THAT SCHOLARSHIP.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS ANNOUNCEMENT.
YOU SAID THIS IS PUBLISHED IN A NEWSLETTER.
>> IT IS BEING PUBLISHED IN A NEWSLETTER NEXT WEEK.
THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY THROUGH GEORGE WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY THROUGH THE GOVERNOR'S HEALTH SCIENCES ACADEMY, AND THESE STUDENTS QUALIFY NOT ONLY FOR THE HCOP AMBASSADORS PROGRAM WHICH WILL START THIS SUMMER WITH A STIPEND BUT THEY QUALIFY, AUTOMATICALLY QUALIFY FOR SCHOLARSHIP TO ATTEND WHICHEVER SCHOOL THEY CHOOSE TO PURSUE UPON GRADUATION, SO IT IS MULTI LEVELED GIVEN OPPORTUNITY HERE.
>> AS A MATTER OF FACT, WE WILL MAKE SURE THAT, MICKEY, I'LL WORK WITH YOU TO MAKE SURE ALL THE MEMBERS OF THE CTE COMMITTEE, WE HAVE THEIR E MAIL SO THEY CAN RECEIVE A COPY OF THE NEWSLETTER FOR TAKEOVER SEES THESE ANNOUNCEMENTS REGARDS THE HEALTH SCIENCES ACADEMY.
>> YES, THAT WOULD BE PERFECT.
I JUST WANT TO LET YOU KNOW, IF YOU ARE GOING TO REAPPLY THAT OUR LAST AGENDA FOR JUNE IS NEXT WEEK, SO IF YOU CAN APPLY BEFORE THURSDAY, AND THAT WAY I CAN SEND IT BY THE CHAIR AND THE DR. JACOBS, BECAUSE THEY REVIEW ALL APPLICATIONS PRIOR US TO PUTTING IT ON AN AGENDA.
ANOTHER WAS, YOU CAN STILL APPLY, JUST THEY WILL GO ON A LATER AGENDA.
WE WILL HAVE ONE IN THE SUMMER AND PROBABLY THE NEXT ONE WILL BE WE HAVE OPPORTUNITIES WHENEVER THERE IS A SPECIAL CALLED MEETING TO APPROVE APPLICATIONS.
BUT IF YOU WANT TO GET YOURS IN EARLY, DO IT NOW.
I WILL SEND THE LINK TO DR. JACOBS, WHO CAN FORWARD IT TO THE COMMITTEE.
>> SORRY, MELISSA IT WOULD BE HELPFUL IF WE RECEIVED NOTIFICATION IF OUR TERM IS UP FROM ACPS.
I THINK THAT MIGHT BE A LITTLE BIT MORE USEFUL.
>> SO WE HAVE MANY COMMITTEES.
I WOULD LIKE TO SAY YES, THAT WOULD BE IDEAL FOR US TO SEND NOTIFICATIONS.
USUALLY WHAT HAPPENS, WHEN YOUR TERM IS UP, I DON'T DO IT BY JUNE BECAUSE IT IS TOO BUSY.
DO YOU IN THE SUMMER CHECK IN WITH THE CHAIR AND LET PEOPLE KNOW THEIR TERM IS UP AND ARE THEY INTERESTED IN REAPPLYING, BECAUSE THAT HELPS US, AS WELL.
IT IS NOT FOR LACK OF WANTING TO, IT IS HARD FOR US SOMETIMES MONITOR THE ADVISORY COMMITTEES AS WELL AS SOME OF OUR OTHER WORK, AS FAR AS MEMBERSHIP GOES.
SO WE WOULD WORK TOWARDS THAT.
I WON'T SAY IT WILL NEVER HAPPEN BUT WE JUST HAVE TO DO IT IN A DIFFERENT WAY.
BUT YES, THANK YOU, I APPRECIATE THAT.
I HAVE ONE MORE ANNOUNCEMENT LISTED HERE.
TC WILLIAMS HIGH SCHOOL WAS AWARDED 7TH PLACE FOR THE FINANCIAL WISE LITERACY TEST, THAT WAS ANOTHER REWARD RECEIVED BY TC WILLIAMS WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE WE ANNOUNCED AND SHOUT OUT TO YOU ALL.
>> I WAS ALSO GOING TO ASK TO MAKE AN ANNOUNCEMENT.
>> ALONG THE LINES OF THE CONVERSATION WE WERE JUST HAVING I WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW THE SCHOOL BOARD HAS CREATED AN AD HOC COMMITTEE TO LOOK AT OUR ADVISORY COMMITTEES AND HOW WE CAN HAVE MORE ENGAGEMENT BETWEEN THE SCHOOL BOARD AND THE ADVISORY COMMITTEES.
SO I WILL PLANT THAT SEED, SOMEBODY WILL REACH OUT FOR THAT.
AND THE SCHOOL BOARD DID VOTE ON A DESIGN CONCEPT FOR THE PROJECT, CALLED THE PIN WHEEL DESIGN.
FOR ANYONE WHO IS ESPECIALLY NEW TODAY, WE ARE REBUILDING OUR HOWARD CAMPUS, 9TH GRADE SCHOOL BUILDING, AND WE WILL BASICALLY HAVE ONE HIGH SCHOOL WITH TWO BUILDINGS THAT WILL SERVE 9 12 GRADE ONCE THAT BUILDING OPENS IN A COUPLE YEARS.
IF YOU'RE INTERESTED IN LEARNING MORE ABOUT IT, THERE IS A COMMUNITY MEETING HAPPENING JUNE 21.
YOU CAN GO TO, FROM 6:00 TO 7:00 P.M., IT IS A VIRTUAL MEETING.
IF YOU GO TO THE ACPS WEBSITE AND LOOK UP HIGH SCHOOL PROJECTS OR SEARCH FOR HIGH SCHOOL PROJECT, YOU CAN FIND ALL OF INFORMATION ABOUT THAT.
I WANT TO PUT ONE LAST THING IN, BECAUSE I KNOW ALLEN LOMAX IS ON HERE AND HE IS INVOLVED WITH THE CHILDREN AND YOUTH MASTER PLAN.
ONE THING WE ARE TALKING ABOUT RIGHT NOW IS TRYING TO ADD A POOL, A SWIMMING POOL, AT THE HOWARD CAMPUS BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE A REGULATION SIZED SWIMMING POOL FOR OUR STUDENTS, PARTICULARLY OR COMPETITIVE SWIMMERS.
SO OUR CITY COUNCIL WILL BE CONSIDERING THIS BECAUSE IT IS AN ADDITIONAL FUNDING REQUEST, SO THEY WILL BE CONSIDERING IT AT THEIR CITY COUNCIL MEETING TOMORROW EVENING.
SO IF ANYBODY IS INTERESTED OR HAS THOUGHTS ON THAT, I ENCOURAGE TO YOU REACH OUT TO COUNCIL AND LET THEM KNOW.
ARE THERE ANY OTHER ANNOUNCEMENTS BY MEMBERS? OKAY.
I WOULD LIKE TO MOTION TO OH, YES.
WITH THE WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT CENTER, OUR SUMMER YOUTH EMPLOYMENT PROGRAM IS SCHEDULED FOR AUGUST 12 EXCUSE ME, JULY 12 AUGUST 20 THIS YEAR.
WE WILL HAVE SOME STUDENTS THAT ARE GOING TO BE WORKING DURING THE SUMMER PHYSICALLY AT A WORK SITE AND THERE WILL BE A VIRTUAL COMPONENT.
I'M REACHING OUT BECAUSE, IN OUR VIRTUAL COMPONENT, I THINK IT IS A GOOD SPACE FOR INDIVIDUALS TO PRESENT THESE TYPES OF THINGS TO OUR YOUNG PEOPLE.
I HEARD TWO NAMES THAT WERE IN OUR PROGRAM LAST YEAR THAT JUST WERE AWARDED THOSE SCHOLARSHIPS, AND MADE ME SMILE A LITTLE BIT.
I THINK THIS IS A GOOD SPACE FOR US TO MAYBE TOUCH BASE WITH OUR KIDS, THEY'RE 14 21 YEAR OLDS SO MIDDLE SCHOOLERS AND HIGH SCHOOLERS THAT COULD BE INTERESTED IN THE CTE PROGRAM.
I WILL REACH OUT TO SEE IF ANYONE IS INTERESTED IN POSSIBLY PRESENTING.
I WOULD LIKE TO MOVE TO ADJOURN THE MEETING.
>> BYE.
