To help CTE educators and administrators develop and improve the quality of their CTE programs of study, an evidence-based framework defining high-quality CTE across 12 elements has been developed the 12 Elements Quality CTE Program of Study:
Perkins V will develop strategies, case studies, professional development models and toolkits to help CTE educators and administrator develop and support success within each element.
High-quality CTE programs use performance data for program evaluation. Credential data may be used as one of several measures of program improvement to evaluate the effectiveness of the program of study. Effective programs of study prepare students for further education and careers and will meet the needs of current and future workforce demands.
Local CTE programs prepare students to earn Credential(s) of Value that are informed by program advisory committee input and aligned with labor market priorities. Districts may also use credential attainment data, such as the number of students who earn the credential in comparison to the number of students who attempt the credential, to evaluate how well the curriculum and instruction are preparing students to earn the credential. This information can be used to adjust instruction as needed. Credential attainment is a good program quality indicator but should not be used for teacher evaluation.
