Box 184 Johnstown, NY 12095 (518) 736‐4681 ext. 4604 acteaoffice@nycap.rr.com Welcome------------------To My Colleagues: Welcome to our annual state‐wide leadership conference. I trust the work of the Executive Committee in developing the Conference will meet your individual and collective needs and will help you advance the work back in your organization. Remember when the only thing we could think about was related to the new APPR process? Can you recall the time when the SLO approach began to dominate your work? Prior to APPR, remember when the CTE Approval Process also “took over” your work and where identifying a technical assessment was a bit more problematic then compared to now? Going further back, remember when meeting Cosmetology hours was a major issue in our work? As CTE has progressed over time, we have always grappled with the “issues of the day” by spending large amounts of time and energy to handle those situations. But have you also noticed that the issues have progressively become more difficult and onerous and situations more complex? Regardless of the time period and related complexity, the primary discussion point of our work has been to speak plainly about how Career and Technical Education programs are integral to achieving the goals related to career development and the importance of bettering the outcomes for students in this state. During many of these discussions, we have continued talk about how CTE programs across New York State and this country must provide students with high‐quality skills to prepare them for in‐demand careers and the associated post‐secondary programs that support them. These assertions need to continue as we talk about CTE regardless of the “issues of the day” that exist around us. We all know that things come and go but the core value of Career and Technical Education to students remains a constant. The next large issue for CTE is the Career Pathways regulation. What will this mean for CTE? What guidance can we expect from SED? What are the specifics that need to be known to put this new regulation “in play”? How will this impact our school districts? Will students receive the intended benefits of this new approach? Will there be unintended consequences that come with this adjustment to our k‐
12 system? The answers to these questions and many others will become clearer over time. What is clear, however, is that our individual and collective leadership make us all responsible for advancing the Career Pathways system and to actively tie this new initiative to the existing great work and promise that we currently know as CTE. Stay tuned as there will be more to come. On behalf of the Executive Committee, please enjoy the conference. 2 Conference Schedule--------Wednesday, March 25, 2015

Addressing the Skills Gap; English Language Learners Fernando Gomez, CTE Spanish Teacher, PNW BOCES Jose Proano, CTE Math Teacher, PNW BOCES Cathy Balestrieri, Director of CTE, PNW BOCES PNW BOCES Career and Technical Education Center provides program opportunities to promote success for English Language Learners. Districts have been faced with the challenge of providing an education for students who are arriving in this country between the ages of 14‐18. Many of these students will age out before they will have the opportunity to earn a high school diploma. Our Tech Center provides all day programming; the TASC in Spanish, several bilingual trades, and an English immersion program. Are You Data Wise? Dave Leavitt, Director, SREB, Technology Centers That Work Data Wise is all about working collaboratively to follow a clear process and cultivate the habits of mind that support continuous improvement. In using the Data Wise process, career centers create data teams that 1) prepare for the work by establishing a foundation for learning from student assessment results; 2) inquire—look for patterns in the data that indicate shortcomings in teaching and learning—and 3) act on what they learn by designing and implementing instructional improvements. Centers then cycle back through inquiry and further action in a process of ongoing improvement. Creative CTE Programming; CTE in District Cathy Balestrieri, Director of CTE, PNW BOCES Erik Cantamessa, Construction Trades Teacher, PNW BOCES Carlo Vidrini. Robotics Teacher, PNW BOCES For the past 3 years, the PNW BOCES Career and Technical Education Center has offered CTE programs in district to 7th‐10th graders. Currently, 4 different CTE programs are offered in district. DASA‐The Journey...Dignity for All Paula Ray, Principal, Orange‐Ulster BOCES Jennifer Quigley, Science Teacher, Orange‐Ulster BOCES Sean Donlon, ELA Teacher, Orange‐Ulster BOCES This presentation will include a discussion of Orange‐Ulster BOCES Career and Technical Education Division's implementation of the Dignity for All Students Act. It will include a description of our journey beyond the act and describe the progression to a student led effort to improve the school's culture through diversity appreciation and cultural competency training. 6 Developing and Delivering an Effective CTE Student Transcript Kathy Ritch, VP‐CTE, Alternative, Special and Adult Education, ClassLink, Inc. Maria Folts, System Administrator, Otsego Northern Catskills (ONC) BOCES Deb McMullen, Principal, Otsego Northern Catskills (ONC) BOCES Deb Theysohn, Principal of Career & Technical Education, Sullivan County BOCES Judith McCann, Principal, Delaware Chenango Madison Otsego (DCMO) BOCES Does your BOCES offer a student transcript to graduating seniors? What type of data do you typically include in the student transcript … and how do you synchronize this information with your sending districts? What are the implications of student transcript data, based on student performance information uploaded to NYSED as part of SIRS reporting requirements? Join a panel of CTE Principals as they describe how they are incorporating student course credit, grades, credentials, Regents scores, and other pertinent data into a CTE Student Transcript, using ClassMate for BOCES student information system. Panelists will also discuss how they deliver the transcripts to students, along with confirming all transcript data with their sending schools. Engage Health Science students and Prep for Workforce Credentials Michael Collins, Director, Applied Educational Systems This presentation will provide attendees with an understanding of the HealthCenter21 system from Applied Educational Systems. This cloud‐based blended learning system integrates a standards‐based curriculum with an interactive multimedia delivery system, and easy to use instructor management tools. This curriculum prepares students for entry‐level health care employment and provides a solid foundation for further training in advanced health services occupations. Using Case Studies and examples of the actual curriculum the presenter will show how HealthCenter21 is helping students here in NY, and across the country, to prepare for health science assessments and certifications. Enhancing Instruction CTE with Authentic Projects Marty Sugerik, School Improvement Consultant, Southern Regional Education Board SREB The goal of Enhanced PBL in Career/Technical Education (E‐PBL in CTE) is for career‐technical (CT) teachers to use a sequence of authentic and rigorous workplace projects in their courses that provide students with the technical and academic skills necessary for college and career success. Participants will engage in the SREB Design Process to develop a Project Description. As a practitioner, participants connect technical, academic, and 21st Skills Century standards to develop an authentic project that mirrors expectations in Industry and Business. The Flipped Classroom Genna Suraci, Principal, Ulster BOCES Career and Technical Center Anthony Sciacca, Criminal Justice Teacher, Ulster BOCES Career and Technical Center Jason Young, Criminal Justice Teacher, Ulster BOCES Career and Technical Center Rethinking the Lecture: Make class time richer and more valuable! It's Time to Flip the Classroom! Experienced Criminal Justice teachers share the process, product and experience of Flipping their classrooms. 7 How do CTE Counselors and Administrators fit in to the College & Career Readiness Puzzle? Steven Goldberg, Director, Client Relationship Management, Centris Group As CTE administrators and counselors, you are in a unique position to significantly contribute to the often confusing puzzle of College & Career Readiness! BOCES throughout the state rely on Guidance Direct to serve their staff and students in this perplexing realm‐ the challenges are real: Keep up with your own professional development while guiding students toward the most appropriate path for their future. This workshop will highlight how Guidance Direct can be used to meet these challenges head on, without sacrificing your time and efforts. We will highlight in‐depth connections to professional development, CDOS, Classroom Guidance Lessons, and much more. Leadership Focus: Doing the Right Things, Right Now Dave Leavitt, Director, SREB, Technology Centers That Work Research supports that “practices, not programs” are the key to high student achievement. The three essential clusters of leadership practices that impact student achievement are focus, monitoring and efficacy. Strategies for each practice will be shared and participants will create a plan to implement the three practices to combat competing priorities. Leveraging Community Resources and Energizing Your School Community Marsha Iverson, NYC and Yonkers Field Associate, CTE Technical Assistance Center of NY Susan Gubing, Industry/Education Consultant, CareerSmarts Educators often express concern about accountability, limited resources, and overwhelming expectations. The role of school leadership is not only to accomplish the work but to build a positive school culture. Leadership practices that energize staff may not make the work less challenging, but it does increase commitment to student success. Expanding unique school partnerships is an effective way to add human resources and energy to your school community. These partnerships provide authentic and meaningful experiences for students and faculty. When schools and their community work together, students benefit. This session will provide practical and realistic resources and practices to "make it happen." Maximize Your Marketing! Christa McHale, Associate Director CTE, Erie 1 BOCES Michael Capuana Director CTE, Erie 1 BOCES Gone are the days of sitting back while your enrollment racks up. These days, maximizing enrollment and retention requires a systematic approach to promoting your programs. In this session, we’ll share with you our approach to enhancing our image as a leader in Career and Technical Education, spreading the word, and overcoming the stigma. Medical Pathways and Youth Career Connect Kathy Heinle, Director of CTE, Buffalo Schools Amy Franco, Supervisor, Buffalo Schools Those who attend this presentation will learn about the Buffalo Public Schools' CTE Medical Careers Pathway program and the Dept. of Labor grant that was awarded to fund this initiative. 8 Middle Level CTE Gerry Battista, School Counselor, PNW BOCES Gerry Markel, Architecture Teacher, PNW BOCES The presentation will give an overview of the program opportunities that PNW BOCES Career and Technical Education Center provides for middle school students to explore career pathways that will better inform them in their decision making as they prepare for high school, college, and career. We offer CTE summer camps for middle school children as well as CTE after school and Saturday programs for middle schoolers. In addition, we offer CTE in district to 7th and 8th graders. National Accreditation and Title IV Eligibility for CTE Secondary Programs James McCartney III, Principal/CIO, CEWW BOCES This presentation will provide attendees with the information necessary to have their secondary programs accredited nationally by COE, thereby making them eligible for Federal Title IV funding, such as TAP, Pell and NDSL. NOCTI in New York Heidi Speese, Senior Project Coordinator, NOCTI Information will be provided about the various ways in which schools utilize NOCTI credentials. New initiatives and updates will be presented. Participants will engage in discussion of NOCTI’s use with program approval, APPR, and the new options for meeting graduation requirements. Online CDOS Credential Tracking Solution Alex McCombie, Database Administrator and Interface Designer, Center for Instruction, Technology and Innovation Tracy Fleming, Executive Director of Technology and Data Management Center for Instruction, Technology and Innovation David Arntsen, Director of Career, Madison Oneida BOCES Like every other BOCES and district, the Center for Instruction, Technology & Innovation was challenged with meeting the Career Development and Occupational Studies (CDOS) Credential reporting requirements set forth by New York State. We provide a system that allows multiple staff members a collaborative platform to support all aspects of documentation for the credential. While there are numerous partial solutions available, we wanted to provide a single system to handle all the requirements plus more. Join us for an overview of CiTi's online solution and an engaging discussion about tracking the credential through the lens of Career and Technical Education. Promotional Material Roundtable Robert Van Brunt, Program Administrator, Eastern Suffolk BOCES CTE programs across the State prepare promotional material each year. This would give these programs an opportunity to share and discuss the material they develop. Participants should bring 25 copies of all materials to share. Program Approval: Where do we Stand? Edward Shafer, Senior Consultant, Career and Technical Education Technical Assistance Center of NY During the first four years of the CTE Technical Assistance Center of NY over 55 Approved Programs have been submitted to external review using established criteria. The programs chosen for review were selected at random and represent a cross section of program types, geographic location and district designations. This session will focus on the strengths of the programs across the state, areas where improvement can be made and suggested modifications in the approval process. 9 Reconnecting Disenfranchised Workers; what to do after the annual performance review Timothy Richards, Principal, Southwest Technical Center, St. Lawrence Lewis BOCES A 2012 Gallup Survey revealed that 70% of K‐12 teachers did not feel engaged in their work. The data itself is troubling enough, comprehending what this research actually tells us is even more disturbing. When teachers are not engaged, students do not receive the education they desire. Our students’ futures demand they receive an education that is based on authentic learning activities, carried out in a well‐designed learning environment, from teachers that inspire and engage them. A disengaged teacher may struggle to achieve one of the needed attributes for a successful education yet alone combine all of the ingredients into a cohesive framework that their students can build the rest of their lives upon. In this presentation, we will discuss some of the reasons behind disengagement in the work force, recognizing the symptoms and warning signs of disengagement, what we can do to prevent disengagement and what can be done to assist in reconnecting the employee. The discussion material is documented by research from: The Canadian Education Association, The Center for Research for Teacher Education and Development, University of Alberta, Michael Fullan and Andy Hargreaves and work from Author Adam Fletcher. Anecdotal evidence as well as data driven research will be used to demonstrate strategies used to effectively reduce the effects of disengagement. Restructuring the Health Careers Academy for College/Career Readiness! Kim Bell, Principal, Rockland BOCES CTEC Tania Mendez, Teacher, Medical Careers Academy, Rockland BOCES Eric Kurz, Assistant Principal, Rockland BOCES CTEC For the 2014‐15 school year, Rockland BOCES Career & Technical Education Center has partnered with SUNY Rockland Community College to restructure their existing Health Careers Academy. New components include college placement test remediation (Accuplacer), extended clinical and internship experiences, and the opportunity to earn up to 11.5 college credits. Students also receive industry certification for Patient Care Technician, Nurse Assisting, and CPR/AED. Courses exist within the academy that meet the needs of students at all ability levels. Two Teachers, One Plan: Exploring the Practice and Potential of Integrated Academics Alison Miller, ELA Instructor/Academic Team Leader, Orange‐Ulster BOCES Todd Boniface, Automotive Technology Instructor, Orange‐Ulster BOCES/CTEC This presentation will include a discussion of the integration of English and Math into CTE programs. Presenters will share “best practices” for integrating academics into CTE courses, with a focus on teacher collaboration throughout the instructional process. Consideration will also be given to how integrated academics programs might create a basis and blueprint for partnering with area colleges to explore the potential for greater college and career preparedness. Lead presenter has 18 years of experience teaching integrated academics in a CTE setting. General Overview: 1. History of Integrated Academics at Orange‐Ulster BOCES/CTEC 2. Current Practices a. Co‐planning b. Co‐teaching c. Co‐grading 3. Successes 4. Looking to the Future 10 Untapped Resources: Using your Teacher Leaders from the Statewide Assessment Project Katie Jones Lead Coordinator, School Improvement, WSWHE BOCES This session will share the training and experiences CTE teachers who were selected to participate in the Statewide CTE project had and how those experiences and training can assist a CTE program in moving forward better practices regarding program and assessment. Particularly you will hear from teachers who participated and their perspective on how the activities have led them into different practices and conversations in their classrooms and with their peers. Come with questions! Using the Common Career Technical Core‐‐explore the possibilities Carol Zygo, Field Team Associate, Central and Northern NY, CTE Technical Assistance Center of NY Whether you are developing a new program or updating an existing program, the resources of the National Association of State Directors of CTE, including the Common Career Technical Core, provide meaningful resources for administrators, teachers and school counselors. 11 Sidney Platt ACTEA Medallion
