• What is a accountability?
• What is Tech Prep accountability?
• Why do we need accountability?
• How do we collect data?
• How do WE keep Tech Prep going?
• DATA!

5
Sec. 113. Accountability

• Perkins IV requires data to be collected for
  career and technical education
• Core indicators of performance at secondary and
  postsecondary level identified
• Levels of performance identified for each core
  indictor, expressed in percentage and numerical
  form

5
6
Sec. 113. Accountability

• Tech Prep is included in all section 113 language
• Tech Prep is always a subset of the Perkins
  Performance Measures
• Accountability is nothing new. . . States are
  already collecting data

Perkins IV

• Core Indicators of Performance (SEC. 113.
  Accountability)
• Collect and report data on a state and national
  level
• Consistent data collected for reporting purposes
• Reports program and student outcomes
• Identifies indicators of performance for
  accountability purposes
• Regardless if states combine funds, important
  to collect and report Tech Prep data

Why the need to collect and report Tech Prep data

• To provide relevant information to stakeholders
• To respond to the ongoing concerns and issues
  raised by stakeholders
• To respond to legislation Sec 203. Indicators of
  Performance and Accountability
• To use data to identify what is working and what
  needs improvement
• To sustain funding

15
16
In order to make your Data System work for you,
you will need

• To want to do this,
• Develop workable secondary and postsecondary
  systems to report Tech Prep data,
• Budget dollars to support data collection and
  reporting of results,
• Buy-in from all stakeholders,
• Active consortia to deliver Tech Prep,
• Investment in technology to simplify the
  collection and analysis of data,

16
17
In order to make your Data System work for you,
you will need

• A method for collecting and reporting data needed
  to adequately report to OVAE for the Consolidated
  Annual Report (CAR),
• Coordination with agencies that have employment
  and earnings data (e.g. FEDES),
• To share results of program improvement and
  success efforts with all stakeholders,
• To conduct a small ,achievable pilot project if
  no data collection system currently exists in
  your state.

Overview State Data Collection Systems Arizona

• SECONDARY
• Integrated with existing Career and Technical
  Education student reporting system
• Tech Prep data is a subset of all CTE reports and
  Performance Measures
• Long time established Tech Prep Consortia
• State Tech Prep Student definition makes it work
• Signed Articulation agreements mandatory

18
19
Overview State Data Collection Systems Arizona

• POSTSECONDARY
• Uses secondary data to develop Postsecondary Tech
  Prep student list
• Tech Prep Consortia Directors an integral part of
  data system
• Postsecondary Institutional Research people a key
• Tech Prep developed a statewide postsecondary,
  web-based system for reporting
• AZ Department of Education did all of the training

19
20
Overview State Data Collection Systems Arizona

• STEPS
• Tech Prep Directors submit to State Articulation
  reports to determine TP programs/students
• Secondary LEAs report to AZ Department of
  Education
• Programs are tagged as Tech Prep or Not Tech Prep
• Students fall into programs that are tagged
• Completers come from programs that are tagged

20
21
Overview State Data Collection Systems Arizona

• STEPS
• State completer list available to Tech Prep
  Directors
• Tech Prep directors work with Institutional
  Research people at Community College to find Tech
  Prep completers
• Students that are found are then tagged as
  Postsecondary Tech Prep students
• Postsecondary Tech Prep students then become a
  subset of the postsecondary reporting system
• Tech Prep Consortia Directors watch over the
  system

21
22
How to Approach the Data Collection of Tech Prep
Indicators of Performance

• Section 205. Report report on the effectiveness
  of tech prep programs
• Tech Prep Indicators Definitions (Numerators and
  Denominators)
• Secondary Tech Prep Student a secondary
  education student who has enrolled in 2 courses
  in the secondary education component of a tech
  prep program.

22
23
How to Approach the Data Collection of Tech Prep
Indicators of Performance

• Tech Prep Indicators Definitions (Numerators and
  Denominators)
• Postsecondary Tech Prep Student a student who
  (A) has completed the secondary education
  component of a tech prep programs and (B) has
  enrolled in the postsecondary education component
  of a tech prep program at an institution of
  higher education described in clause (i) or (ii)
  of section 203 (a)(1)(B).
