Core Indicator IVA - Nontraditional Participation

• (Student Enrollment in programs that
  prepare them for careers that are nontraditional
  for their gender Core Indicator IV-A)
•  
• Measure Number students enrolled in programs
  that prepare them for careers that are
  nontraditional for their gender divided by the
  total number of students enrolled in such
  programs.
•  
• If the LEA's results are less than 9.43 an
  improvement plan is required.

SIMS

• The Student Information Management System (SIMS)
  is a student-level data collection system that
  allows the Department to collect and analyze
  accurate and comprehensive information, to meet
  federal and state reporting requirements, and to
  inform policy and programmatic decisions.

16
From Instructions for School Districts in
Reporting Students Enrolled in Career/Vocational
Technical Education Programs

• In order to be considered for Perkins funding,
  information on students in career/vocational
  technical education programs must be reported.
• If a school district has met one or more of the
  following criteria, information on secondary
  students in career/vocational technical education
  programs must be submitted to SIMS.

17
Criteria for Reporting CVTE Data in SIMS

• District has state-approved vocational technical
  education programs known as Chapter 74-approved
  vocational technical education programs on the
  secondary level) and/or
• District has other career/vocational technical
  education programs known as non-Chapter 74 CVTE
  programs on the secondary level. A non-Chapter 74
  CVTE program is a career/vocational technical
  education program that is not a Chapter
  74-approved vocational technical education
  program, but that does meet the Perkins Act
  definition of a CVTE program which is organized
  educational activities that
• A. offer a sequence of courses that provides
  individuals with the academic and technical
  knowledge and skills the individuals need to
  prepare for further education and for careers
  (other than for careers requiring a
  baccalaureate, masters, or doctoral degree) in
  current or emerging employment sectors and
• B. includes competency-based applied learning
  that contributes to the academic knowledge,
  higher-order reasoning and problem-solving
  skills, work attitudes, general employability
  skills, and occupational specific skills, of an
  individual. In addition, the program must be of
  such size, scope and quality to be effective.

18
SIMS Data Collection for CVTE (sample)
There are six data elements in SIMS that are designed specifically for collecting data on students in CVTE programs. There are also several additional SIMS data elements that are used for CVTE reporting and follow-up reporting.

Clusters in the Massachusetts Frameworks

• Vocational Technical Education Curriculum
  Frameworks serve as the basis for assessing the
  performance of students seeking a Certificate of
  Occupational Proficiency.
• The 43 Vocational Technical Education Curriculum
  Frameworks are organized by 10 occupational
  clusters. Each Framework consists of cluster and
  individual program (occupational) knowledge and
  skills.
• Each framework has six stands
  representing each aspect of all aspects of the
  industry that students are preparing to enter.
