Welcome to NCLB for CTE • Major changes:
– Strengthened accountability– Increasing State Target Percentages– Local Core Indicator (CI) performance targets &
sanctions– USDE focus
• Third party assessments (i.e., State or Vender)• Valid & reliable assessments

Performance Targets
• Perkins III– State negotiates targets USDE
• Perkins IV– State negotiates targets USDE
• Targets for 1 year and then 2 years (3rd & 4th)• Required to set targets higher than performance (100% - 2015)
– Districts either:• Accept those targets• Negotiate local targets
– Included in Local Applications• Evaluate CI Performance against Negotiated Targets • Targets for next year

Perkins IV - Sanctions in Law
• State & Locals:– 90% of “Negotiated” Targets
– Improvement Plan
– Year 2 no improvement or <90% for 3 years for any single target• Feds or State SHALL provide technical
assistance• MAY withhold funds (all or part)

14
CCC Sanction Plan:Meeting Performance Targets
• Local Application is an Improvement Plan• Accountability Determination
– In compliance – at or above 90%• Expenditures need not be linked to the areas with the largest
performance gaps
– Focused Improvement Status - < 90%• Focused Improvement section • Year 2 – No Improvement: Diagnostic Study• Programs funded must address individual program performance gaps.
– Priority Focused Improvement – 3rd Yr < 90%• Diagnostic Study and Action Plan
Click to edit Master title style
15
Focused Improvement
Focused Improvement Status - < 90%
• Year 1– Focused Improvement section
– Funded Programs must address performance gaps.
• Year 2 – Improvement but still < 90% of target
• Same as Year 1
– No Improvement: • Add a Diagnostic Study

Standards

program– “B” level courses must have a “C” prerequisite in the same
program area
• Priority "C" – Clearly Occupational– Generally taken in the middle stage of a program, detracts
"drop-ins."

Student Accountability Model (SAM) & Taxonomy of Programs (TOP), Continued
• Priority "D" – Possibly Occupational– Taken by students in the beginning stages of their
occupational programs– Can be survey course
