Guaranteed and Viable Curriculum
Guaranteed Curriculum
…“Operationally, this means that clear guidance is given to teachers regarding the content to be addressed in specific courses and at specific grade levels.”
“Additionally, it means that individual teachers do not have the option to disregard or replace content that has been assigned to a specific course or grade level.”
Guaranteed and Viable Curriculum
Viable Curriculum
…“the content articulated in the curriculum for a given course or grade level can be adequately addressed in the time available.”
Question: Are performance standards different from QCCs?Answer:
Performance standards go into much greater depth than the content standards used in the previous curriculum. They provide clear expectations for assessment, instruction, and student work. They define the level of work that demonstrates achievement of the standards, enabling a teacher to know “how good is good enough.” The performance standards isolate and identify the skills needed to use the knowledge and skills to problem-solve reason, communicate, and make connections with other information. Performance standards also tell the teacher how to assess the extent to which the student knows the material or can manipulate and apply the information.
What do you want students to know
and be able to do?
What performance leveldo you expect?
What is acceptable evidence?
How will you assess (students
and the instruction?)

How can rigorous CTAE programs support high achievement levels
for all students?
Question: What is a career pathway?
Answer:
A career pathway is established to help students align their academic and career, technical and agricultural studies to better prepare them for graduation, post-secondary education, and career opportunities.
Question: How does a career pathway relate to the definition of a “program of study” as defined by the new Perkins IV Legislation?Answer:
Programs of study are very similar to career pathways. In Georgia, career pathways will become a program of study. A program of study, as defined by the new Perkins IV Legislation, incorporates secondary education and post-secondary education elements; includes coherent and rigorous content aligned with challenging academic standards and technical content in a coordinated, non-duplicative progression of courses that align secondary education with post-secondary education to adequately prepare students to succeed in post-secondary education. Below see an outlined schedule for career pathway implementation:
– Phase I: Development 05-06; Training 06-07; Implementation 07-08.– Phase II: Development 06-07; Training 07-08; Implementation 08-09.– Phase III: Development 07-08; Training 08-09; Implementation 09-10.
(Please see the CTAE Career Pathway Development document at http://www.georgiastandards.org/career.aspx. )
Once the Georgia State Plan has been developed, it will create benchmarks upon which career pathways will be developed for students.
Question: What is the implementation schedule for Phase I Curriculum?
Answer: Phase I of our new CTAE Georgia Performance Standards (GPS) is expected to be implemented during the upcoming school year 2007-2008. Instructors who will be teaching courses from the new Phase I curriculum will be expected to teach to performance standards. We have received many questions about Phase II Curriculum and its corresponding performance standards but urge you at this time to concern yourselves only with Phase I implementation. As referenced in an earlier answer, Phase II implementation will take place during the 2008-2009 school year. Staff members are working diligently to ensure that instructors get the necessary training beforehand to ensure a smooth transition from the Georgia Quality Core Curriculum (QCC) to the new GPS during Phase I, II, and III implementation. We encourage local systems to realize that there is capacity in place to align courses that will build career pathways for students.

Question: How does my system decide which pathways to offer?
Answer:
Consideration should be given to current program offerings, industry/community needs, and the capacity to implement pathways based on the available resources, faculty, equipment, and facilities.
How does this differ for small and large systems?

Question: As a CTAE Director, what can I do presently to prepare for Phase I Implementation?
Answer:
In preparation, your instructors in related program areas can collaboratively review the new standards to: – identify similarities to current programs; – identify differences from current programs; – identify changes/additions required in programs; – identify change/additions required in facilities and/or
equipment; – identify changes/additions required in resources; and, – generate questions.

Questions
Concerns
Question: Will course names and the corresponding course numbers change?
Answer:
Due to most of the courses being revised to the GPS, the majority of course numbers and titles will remain the same. However, any new courses that will be developed/or have been developed, will carry new course numbers. For additional information on course titles and numbers, see the CTAE Phase I Course Information Guide at http://www.georgiastandards.org/career.aspx.
Question: Will the Georgia Department of Education require an end-of-pathway assessment/certificate for every student?
Answer: Career pathways and end-of-pathway assessments are being developed to help local systems align career and academic students in a sequenced academic study to increase student achievement. The intent of the pathways is to create this alignment. Today it is not a requirement for every student to be in a career pathway. We are attempting to create a sliding scale which means that every system starting with the 2007-2008 school year should offer at least one career pathway. Larger systems should make available several pathways choices to students during the 2007-2008 school year. Since the Georgia State Plan has not been developed, it is difficult determining exactly how many pathways should be available to students based on school or system size. We are aware, though, that the new legislation “does require” pathways or programs of study. To support this, systems will be required to identify the percentage of their students that will participate in career pathways. Also, the legislation states that career pathways will determine the foundation of programs including, but not limited to, the type of equipment to be used in a particular program. It is our hope that the creation of career pathways will assist with increasing the graduation rate.

Tech Prep and Perkins IV: Connecting the Partnership Pieces for Student Success!
Cathy Myers, State Tech Prep Coordinator
Tech Prep Transformation:A Brighter Horizon
According to David Bond, Director, NTPN, “Career Pathways,
the next step in the evolution of Tech Prep, actively promote these three R’s.” (Rigor, Relevance, Relationships)
In the State of Georgia, career pathways will be an umbrella initiative that incorporates and aligns all the necessary educational and training components to align with the Governor’s Strategic Industries and to assure that Georgia’s current and future workforce can compete in a knowledge economy. The structure will evolve through time and align educational, economic, and social entities that help students or workers obtain the skills needed in the workforce. Building Georgia’s career pathways system will be a process of adapting existing programs and service and the possibility of adding new ones that will enable all students to advance to higher levels of education and employment.
Georgia’s Career Pathways
Support of Career Pathways
• Building Leadership and Partnership Capacity– Creating a new Education and Career Partnership
Model.– Establishing new roles and responsibilities for all
partners (forthcoming). – Providing training for all partners beginning in July
2007. – Having a well-defined focus for grant funds based on
Perkins IV (Basic Grant).
That was then; this is now.

Merged Funds and Title I (Basic Grant)
• Perkins IV allows “pooled” funding• GaDOE and DTAE to use “reserve” funds (approx. 7.5%)• Formula being created by both agencies (Sec. 112)
– Rural areas;– Areas with high percentages of CTE students;– Areas with high numbers of CTE students
• Equal allocations (50/50 split) between agencies• Use of leadership funds (10%) for state positions• Commitment to fund same amount as past (approx. 3 mil),
minus carry over
How does it work?
• LEAs receive allocation as grant (like others in Local Plan).• All (secondary/postsecondary) must contribute to
partnership based on existing service area or forfeit funds.• Funds “pass through” to designated fiscal agent and must
be identified and tracked “separately.• Depending on selected fiscal agent by partnership,
accounting occurs through GOARS or People Soft and will be uniquely “coded” like other Perkins grants for identification purposes and tracking.
• Additional funding sources can be identified “outside total grant amount.”

In 1999, there were 21 “statewide” articulation agreements.
In 2006, there were 1,066 “local” articulation agreements.
It is no longer enough to simply create agreements. We must honor agreements by ensuring that students, not only are aware of the “prize” ( ) but take advantage of the “prize.”

How many of the 9,984 are coded in Banner with AC?
Capturing Articulation Data• Efforts to turn “Can’t” into “Can” at local level in gathering
student data.• 37 Coordinators being asked to complete articulation/dual
enrollment reports this year.• Promising results already (for example):
– 365 graduates (2006) of Camden County with total of 710 articulated courses with 85 grade and above per course.
– If each secondary course equaled 3 credit hours at 174.00 cost per class, this would mean a savings of $123,540.00!

• FTE “K Weight” for six instructional segments
– Replacement costs of equipment and materials 50 percent higher than those needed for a regular general education class, except for cooperative work study laboratories, pre-apprenticeship programs and apprenticeship programs.
– Students spend a minimum of 25 percent of the instructional time in ‘hands-on” activities.
– All equipment, software, materials, etc. used in the lab are in place and operational on the day of the FTE count.
– Students are enrolled in grades 9-12.
Counts Toward Hope Grant? (HB 1325)
• In summary, students may only received the HOPE Grant for a total of 95 quarter hours or 63 semester hours of attempted coursework unless his/her diploma program is designed to be more than 95 hours or 63 semester hours, but the absolute maximum for the HOPE Grant is 130 quarter hours attempted or 86 semester hours attempted or the amount required for graduation-whichever is less.
Career Development:
• Support Peach State Career Pathways: Education and Planning Tool.
• Establish structured approach to delivering education and career planning.
• Emphasize deliverables:– Individual Education and
Career Plans for students– Comprehensive Career
Development Plans in school systems.
