CE1111 – CE1126, CE1999 - If the student met technical skill attainment through Industry Certification and not listed here, use code CE1999 for other. Codes CE0002, 0003, 0004 and 0005 did not change This information will help us more accurately tell the “CTE story” and we’re pretty sure this information will be required with the pending authorization of the Perkins Act.
NSSRS – Reminders for CTE Reporting Three primary aspects for reporting secondary CTE data: 1. Programs Fact: Career Education Template
• Includes: (1) the identification and coding of the cluster area(s) the student participated and/or concentrated in, (2) the identification of the student’s highest level of participation in that cluster, and (3) if the student is a concentrator, the identification of their Technical Skill Attainment method.
NOTE: Students may have more than one Programs Fact record if participating in and/or concentrating in more than one Program Code. 2. Student Grades Template •
• When students are identified in Programs Fact in Career Education, their data in Student Grades can be extracted for review of their program participation/concentration. Be sure all student course taking is reported in student grades if the student is receiving high school credit. This is also important to ensure programs districts are offering are captured.
3. Post School Survey Template
• Provides follow-up information on the concentrators who graduated in the previous reporting year.
NSSRS – Reminders for CTE Reporting WHO? • This continues to be a question CTE is asked. To ensure the accurate identification of the level of participation, here are the most up-to-date definitions fro CTE students. • NOTE – Concentrators do NOT need to complete a Program of Study, rather, they must have completed at least 3 semesterlong courses within a single career cluster (program code). Year-long courses would count as 2 CTE courses for this reporting purpose.
NSSRS – Reminders for CTE Reporting • Data submission includes grades 7-12 in schools that offer career education courses. • Career Education Participants are determined during the program year (July 1, 2017 – June 30, 2018) only. • Career Education Concentrators are determined by evaluating the number of courses in which the student earned credit throughout the 9-12 school experience within a specific career cluster (program code). - Concentrators should be reported when they are in the 12th grade. Students may have multiple Programs Fact records if participating and/or concentrating in more than one Programs Code.
