2 Kentucky Department of Education-Office of Career & Technical Education College and Career Readiness for All College-Ready A college-ready student meets the benchmarks on the ACT (18 for English, 20 for Reading and 19 for Mathematics) or passed either COMPASS (74 for English, 85 for Reading and 36 for Mathematics) or KYOTE (6 for Writing, 20 for Reading, 22 for College Ready Math and 14 for College Algebra) college placement tests. Students who fail one or more measures on the ACT but pass the corresponding measure on one of the placement tests are college-ready. Career-Ready A career-ready student is preparatory (has completed two credits and is enrolled in a third credit) for a CTE career pathway (state-approved sequence of progressive, nonduplicative courses that result in earning four credits), has received either an approved industry certification or Kentucky Occupational Skill Standards Assessment (KOSSA) certificate (with a minimum score of 70) related to his or her career pathway, and has met the benchmark on ACT WorkKeys with a minimum score of 75 for each part (Applied Mathematics, Locating Information and Reading for Information) which is equivalent to a Silver Certificate or above or a minimum score of 50 on the ASVAB. College and Career Ready A college and career ready student is preparatory for a CTE career pathway, has received either an approved industry certification or KOSSA certificate related to his or her pathway and has qualified to be college-ready based on the above definition. Thank you to Jefferson County Public Schools for sharing this design concept.

3 CAREER AND TECHNICAL EDUCATION TERMINOLOGY CTE Terminology Definition In alignment with Federal Perkins Regulations, a Career Pathway will: I. incorporate secondary education and postsecondary education elements; Career Pathway II. III. IV. include coherent and rigorous content aligned with challenging academic standards and relevant career and technical content in a coordinated, nonduplicative progression of courses that align secondary education with postsecondary education to adequately prepare students to succeed in postsecondary education; may include the opportunity for secondary education students to participate in dual or concurrent enrollment programs or other ways to acquire postsecondary education credits; and lead to an industry-recognized credential or certificate at the postsecondary level, or an associate or baccalaureate degree; CIP Code Definition Completer Student Kentucky Occupational Skills Standards (KOSSA) Kentucky Valid List of Industry Certifications & KOSSA Assessments Perkins Preparatory Student TEDS Work-Based Learning (WBL) The Classification of Instruction Program (CIP) provides a taxonomic scheme (i.e. classification of fields of study) that supports the accurate tracking and reporting of fields of study and program completion activity. Secondary student who is leaving secondary education and completes four (4) or more credits in the pathway. Kentucky Occupational Skill Standards and Assessments is a career-ready technical measure for CCR state accountability and a performance indicator of technical skills attainment for federal Perkins accountability. These industry endorsed standards are developed in collaboration with business and industry partners and drive the development of assessments for career and technical education. The Kentucky Valid List of Industry Certifications & KOSSA Assessments document is updated annually and released on July 1 st of each year. Organized by CTE program areas and pathway, it serves as the official list of approved technical skill assessments for Perkins/CCR accountability. A link to this document can be found on the KOSSA homepage of the KDE website. The Carl D. Perkins Vocational and Technical Education Act was first authorized by the federal government in 1984 and reauthorized in Named for Carl D. Perkins, the act aims to increase the quality of technical education within the United States in order to help the economy. The Carl D. Perkins Career and Technical Education Act was last authorized on August 12, The new Act provides an increased focus on the academic achievement of career and technical education students, strengthens the connections between secondary and postsecondary education, and improves state and local accountability. The new law also includes requirements for programs of study (which Kentucky refers to as Career Pathways) that link academic and technical content across secondary and postsecondary education, and strengthened local accountability provisions that will ensure continuous program improvement. The Perkins Act provides almost $1.3 billion in federal support for career and technical education programs in all 50 States, including support for integrated career pathways programs. Any student who is enrolled in a preparatory program who has successfully completed two credits and has enrolled in the third credit within an approved career pathway. Com p leted two means on the transcript the student has passed and received 2 credits from valid course(s) as part of the pathway. En ro ll ed in th e third cred it means the student is scheduled to take the third credit sometime during the academic year. It is expected the student will successfully complete the credit bearing course(s) during the year. If the student withdraws or fails the third credit course(s) (must receive a credit on the student transcript), his/her status must be changed from preparatory back to exploring. All Senior Preparatory students must sit for the KOSSA/Industry Certification assigned to the career pathway he/she is enrolled in, unless the student has previously had the opportunity to take a technical skills The Technical measure. Education Database System (TEDS) is the official repository of student data for all career and technical education data in Kentucky, which includes Perkins and Career Readiness. Work-Based Learning can be experienced in multiple forms such as: cooperative education, entrepreneurial program, internship, mentoring, school-based enterprises, service learning and shadowing. Additional information related to WBL can be found via:

4 2 Co Op Placement Policy (Any Program Area) Cooperative Education is a paid educational program consisting of in-school instruction combined with program related on-the-job work experience in a business or industrial establishment. These are planned experiences supervised by the school and the employer to ensure that each phase contributes to the student's Individual Learning Plan (ILP). The fundamental purposes of cooperative education are to provide opportunities for students to learn under real-life work conditions and to develop occupational competencies (attitudes, technical skills, and knowledge) needed to be successful in their chosen career. It is imperative that all parties understand that a co-op placement is not solely to send a student to work but also to enhance what is being learned in the student s declared pathway. Prerequisites/ Requirements: 1. The student must be enrolled in a career pathway at the Harrison Co ATC and have reached preparatory status (have earned two credits and be enrolled in a third) within the current year of co-op enrollment. 2. The end result of a co-op placement should be the student having earned a minimum of 4 total credits within their declared pathway, making them a program completer. 3. A co-op student must have one hour of course work for every two hours of co-op placement. For example, a co-op student must have a course with the program teacher in addition to their co-op placement. 4. A co-op student should have met benchmarks for any part of the Career Ready status made available to them prior to and/or during the co-op year (eg. ASVAB, KOSSA, WorkKeys, Compass, appropriate Industry Certification, etc.). 5. A co-op student MUST maintain passing grades in all classes to continue their co-op assignment. Cooperative Education Application and Enrollment Process: 1. Applications for Co-op will be accepted from January through the end of February (time frame will be adjustable depending on home school scheduling sessions and deadlines). 2. From March to April- ATC instructors will review applications and contact potential employers to verify their participation in the cooperative education program. At this time, instructors will verify that the placement has enough tasks to justify a valid co-op placement. 3. In May, a mandatory meeting for approved students, employers, parents, and instructors will be held at the ATC to discuss the expectations for all stakeholders. 4. By the end of May, a final list of participating co-op students will be provided to the home school guidance counselors for scheduling. 5. If a student is placed in co-op and is terminated based on performance and/or behavior or leaves the placement of their own freewill, the student will be placed into a class with the supervising instructor for the remainder of the school year. 6. If a student is laid-off by the employer or let go by the employer for unforeseen circumstance not related to the student s performance or behavior, the student will have the option of scheduling another co-op placement. All steps above must be followed for a mid-year placement, and the students should expect a 2-4 week time lapse before the placement can be approved and started. During that time, the student will remain with the instructor during that scheduled co-op time. 7. Realizing that opportunities may arise outside of the above timeline, students may request a co-op placement mid-year, but all appropriate steps must be taken. A request may be made during the summer, but the process will not start until the first part of August. Therefore, if the placement is approved, a student will not be scheduled into the placement for 2-4 weeks after August 1.
