2. Welcome

3. Moving from
Programs of Study
to
Rigorous Programs of Study
in Oklahoma

4. A Program of Study is a
comprehensive, structured
approach for delivering
academic and CTE to prepare
students for postsecondary
education and career success

5. Technology Centers That Work
High Schools That Work
Pathways to Prosperity
Reflect, Transform, Lead: A New Vision
for Career Technical Education

8. Include academic and CTE
content in a coordinated, non-
duplicative progression of
courses

9. Offer the opportunity, where
appropriate, for secondary
students to acquire
postsecondary credits, and

10. Lead to an industry-recognized
credential or certificate at the
postsecondary level, or an
associate or baccalaureate
degree

17. Rigorous Programs of Study

19. LEGISLATION AND POLICIES
Federal, state, and local legislation or
administrative policies promote POS
development and implementation.

20. PARTNERSHIPS
Ongoing relationships among
education, business, and other
community stakeholders are central to
POS design, implementation, and
maintenance.

21. PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT
Sustained, intensive, and focused
opportunities for administrators,
teachers, and faculty foster POS
design, implementation, and
maintenance.

22. ACCOUNTABILITY AND EVALUATION
SYSTEMS
Systems and strategies to gather
quantitative and qualitative data on
both POS components and student
outcomes are crucial for ongoing
efforts to development and
implement POS.

23. COLLEGE AND CAREER READINESS
STANDARDS
Content standards that define what
students are expected to know and be
able to do to enter and advance in
college and/or their careers comprise
the foundation of a POS.

24. COURSE SEQUENCES
Non-duplicative sequences of
secondary and postsecondary courses
within a POS ensure that students
transition to postsecondary education
without duplicating classes or
requiring remedial coursework.
(Individual Career Plan)

25. CREDIT TRANSFER AGREEMENTS
Credit transfer agreements provide
opportunities for secondary students
to be awarded transcripted
postsecondary credit, supported with
formal agreements among secondary
and postsecondary education systems.
(Cooperative Alliance Program)

26. GUIDANCE COUNSELING AND
ACADEMIC ADVISEMENT
Guidance counseling and academic
advisement help students to make
informed decisions about which POS
to pursue.

27. TEACHING AND LEARNING STRATEGIES
Innovative and creative instructional
approaches enable teachers to
integrate academic and technical
instruction and students to apply
academic and technical learning in
their POS coursework.

28. TECHNICAL SKILLS ASSESSMENTS
National, state, and/or local assessments
provide ongoing information on the
extent to which students are attaining
the necessary knowledge and skills for
entry into and advancement in
postsecondary education and careers in
their chosen POS.

32. CTE and the A-F Report Card

34. A-F Report Card
Is comprised of three (3) main sections each
worth one-third of the overall grade:
– Student Achievement - counts one-third or
33%
– Student Growth - counts one-third or 34%
• Overall student growth (math & reading) – 17%
• Bottom 25% student growth – 17%
– Whole School Performance - counts one-third
or 33%
3.75-4.0 = A
2.75-3.74 = B
1.75-2.74 = C
0.75-1.74 = D
Below 0.75 = F

36. Graduation Rate
Graduation Rate
– Counts 79% of 33% (or 26% of total) 90-100% = A
80-89% = B
CALCULATION: 70-79% = C
# of students who graduated in 4 60-69% = D
Below 60% = F
years or less
÷
Total # of graduates in current year
+ # of GED’s in current year
+ 12th grade dropouts in current year
+ 11th grade dropouts last year
+ 10th grade dropouts for 2 years ago
+ 9th grade dropouts for 3 years ago

37. Participation in Advanced Coursework
Participation in advanced coursework (i.e.
AP, IB, AICE, concurrent enrollment, industry certification
courses and Cooperative Alliance courses)
– Student must earn passing grade to count for participation
(A, B, C, or D)
– Tech Centers & CTE HS instructors will provide data to high
schools
– Can be taken at high school, technology center or regional
site of OSSM
– Grades 9-12
– Counts 3% of 33% (or 1% of total)

38. PARTICIPATION points are calculated at
the STUDENT LEVEL
No matter how many advanced courses
students are taking, they ONLY COUNT
ONCE per year.
(example: industry certification course
and AP course taken by the student in
the same year)

39. Participation in Advanced Coursework
CALCULATION:
# accelerated coursework participants in
grades 9-12
÷
# of all students enrolled in grades 11-12
on the Accreditation Report
75-100% = A
65-74% = B
50-64% = C
30-49% = D
Below 30% = F

40. Performance on AP or IB Exams
Performance on AP or IB exams
– AP - score 3 or higher
– IB - score 4 or higher 75-100% = A
– Counts 3% of 33% (or 1% of total) 65-74% = B
50-64% = C
CALCULATION: 30-49% = D
# test takers passing the exam Below 30% = F
÷
# of test takers
Schools with students enrolled in AP or IB courses
that do not attempt the exam will be given an “F”
(if entire class does not attempt)

41. Performance in Advanced Courses
Performance in concurrent
enrollment, AICE, industry certification
course and Cooperative Alliance course
– Course must be a credit bearing course, not a
remedial course
– Student must earn credit in the course, earning a
"C" or higher grade
– Industry certification course: Student must pass
certification exam (last year “C” or higher counted)
– Counts 3% of 33% (or 1% of total)

42. Also…
– The industry certification test must represent
60 hours of instruction to count for a
performance point.
– Industry certification exam: Tech Centers & CTE
HS programs will provide data on which
students pass exams to ODCTE on Follow-up
Report. ODCTE will provide this data to SDE

43. Performance in Advanced Courses
CALCULATION:
# of students enrolled who meet criteria
÷
# of all students who took an accelerated
course or subject area examination
during the academic year 90-100% = A
80-89% = B
70-79% = C
60-69% = D
Below 60% = F

44. Industry Certification Exams
List of eligible exams/certifications to
count for A-F Report Card and to be
recorded on high school transcripts
www.okcttc.com

45. For additional exams to be added to
the approved list

be April 1st to be counted for that year on
the A-F Report Card
– Certification Approval Committee will meet
quarterly to approve additions to this list

times it only counts once in student's career
– A student can be counted once for ACT and
once for SAT
– Counts 3% of 33% (or 1% of total)
– For the next few years counts 4.5% because data
from #7 and #8 not available

47. College Entrance Exam Participation
CALCULATION:
# 12th graders ever taking an exam
÷
# 12th graders on the Accreditation Report
75-100% = A
65-74% = B
50-64% = C
30-49% = D
Below 30% = F

48. College Entrance Exam Performance
College entrance exam performance
– ACT = 20 or higher
– SAT = 1410 or higher

49. College Entrance Exam Performance
CALCULATION:
# 12th graders scoring 20 or higher on ACT
or 1410 or higher on SAT
÷
# 12th graders who took the ACT and SAT
The 12th graders are tracked as a 75-100% = A
65-74% = B
cohort. If a student takes the exam 50-64% = C
once as a 9th grader, the exam will 30-49% = D
count on the report card when the Below 30% = F
student is a 12th grader

images, projects, videos, stories and more for
future lesson plans
2) Organize ideas: create topic specific resource
boards for other counselors, teachers, and
students
3) Collaborate: connect with other
counselors, teachers, students from other
classes and schools
4) Involve students: use community boards for
group projects
