3 Vision Statement Contribute to a vibrant workforce by partnering with the business community to equip students for success within their chosen career paths. Guiding Principles To guide the work of RISD s Career and Technical Education (CTE) department, the following principles were developed to guide current and future work: Relevance Highly qualified instructors deliver relevant instruction using technology/equipment that mirrors the workplace. Open Access Every student can participate, including those who are college-bound. Advisors are the CTE Pathway Experts Focusing on Program of Studies, academic and experiential skills, and making pathway/postsecondary connections. Driven by Needs of the Local Economy The local economy drives program offerings through active partnerships. Data-Driven Performance is measured, including student engagement, persistence, achievement, and post-secondary transitions. CTE Task Force Leadership Team Sandra Hayes, RISD Assistant Superintendent, Technology Danny Stotts, RISD Director, Career and Technical Education Kim Caston, RISD Board of Trustees Kris Oliver, RISD Board of Trustees Katie Patterson, Texas Schools Project and Community Member 2
4 Executive Summary Richardson ISD has a vibrant and robust Career and Technical Education Program. CTE is a sequence of courses taken by students as a means to increase their awareness of career paths, provide student engagement opportunities with partnered connections to local businesses and enhance their preparation for post-secondary. Texas state statistics show that students in a CTE program have a higher graduation rate than those who do not follow a CTE sequence. RISD recognizes that now is the time to expand CTE opportunities for students in our high schools to prepare students for life after high school. With the passing of HB 5 in the 2013 Texas Legislature, industry endorsements have become a key player in the success of students entering the workforce or post-secondary. RISD has formed a CTE Task Force whose assignment is to create a five year strategic plan to move the district forward with enhanced, relevant opportunities for students in CTE courses. This task force has a five-member leadership team comprised of district administrators, board of trustee members, and a community member. From that group, a steering committee comprised of local post-secondary leaders, business leaders, city leaders, chamber of commerce leaders and senior district leaders began the challenge. (Steering committee members listed in Appendix A.) The final piece was the creation of a task force composed of the two previously mentioned groups plus additional business leaders from the four priority industries identified for expansion in RISD, as well as campus teaching staff and administrators. (Task force members listed in Appendix B.) The task force agreed that it was of great benefit to students and the local economy for RISD to increase the number of students learning about career paths and completing a sequence of courses, resulting in industry certifications and clear connections to post-secondary or local job opportunities. 3
5 Section 1: CTE in RISD CTE has evolved over the years, as depicted in the time line above. In the 1970 s, CTE focused on vocational education. After the paramount study, A Nation at Risk, was published in 1983, CTE evolved to a more technical focus, incorporating greater computer usage. The Perkins Act (1984) also enhanced CTE, providing federal funds to increase the quality of CTE with a focus on improving the economy. CTE in RISD gained greater focus in the 1990 s, as magnet programs were launched at Richardson High School. Facility-based programs included culinary arts, health, and robotics. By 2006, CTE programs in the district expanded to six program areas and then to all 16 in 2007 when the 16 federal clusters were created. With the implementation of HB 5 and an increased number of RISD graduates not pursuing college, a CTE task force was convened in 2013 to develop a strategic plan for the future. 4
6 The Importance of CTE Research conducted by the leadership team uncovered that 87% of Dallas County residents work in Dallas County. Therefore, after analyzing Dallas County labor data, the leadership team was able to identify four priority industry/cluster sets that represented the largest job growth over the next ten years in the county. Along with this data, the leadership team also included in the parameters the need for students to earn a living wage, which was determined to be a minimum of $30,000 annually. From the data analysis, four priority industry/cluster sets were determined to be the drivers of the initial change in the CTE program. These four industry/cluster sets are: Education & Training, Business/Marketing/Finance, Health Science and Information Technology (IT)/Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM).

8 Why CTE? Why Now? RISD has emphasized CTE to varying degrees in the past and currently delivers a CTE program, largely dependent on federal funding, which offers a wide spectrum of courses. With changes to graduation requirements and the increasing needs of RISD graduates to be college and career ready, there are a number of opportunities for CTE improvements and community-wide benefits. One opportunity for improvement is CTE s flexibility to provide multiple pathways for all students. Regardless of post-secondary path, CTE can play a role in a student s chosen path: 1. Provide students with experiential learning or to determine interest in subject matter/career. 2. Provide students with no plans for post-secondary training or education with a career pathway. 3. Provide students with plans for post-secondary training/education a career pathway. 4. Provide students with plans to pursue bachelor s degree a career pathway. 7
9 CTE is of vital importance to all of RISD s stakeholders: To Students: CTE plays a critical role in College and Career Readiness. Provides RISD students with an awareness of career path options. Provides needed technical skills and certifications for the 25% of RISD graduates who are not going to 4 or 2-year colleges. Offers highest level of relevant workforce training to RISD students before graduation. Leads to higher post-secondary persistence: 70% of CTE students persist in postsecondary education compared to an average state target of 58%. Identifies knowledge/skill gaps to be filled in post-secondary education. To Employers: Cultivates a skilled workforce. Connects students to local businesses during secondary schooling to increase likelihood they will return to the area after college graduation. To City/Local Economy: Provides opportunities for graduates to become contributors to the community because twenty-five percent remain in the area. Attracts new businesses to area through the availability of skilled workforce. 8
10 Workforce Projections A central outcome of student success for CTE is the student s ability to obtain living-wage employment after they have completed their schooling, at whatever level is appropriate for their chosen career path. To ensure students have the best opportunity to obtain such employment in our area, we first analyzed workforce projections for Dallas County. InterLink, a well-regarded nonprofit whose mission is to bridge the gap between business, education and government to develop a quality work force with a globally competitive advantage, publishes a series of reports on workforce projections in a 16 county area of North Texas. These reports, in addition to Texas Workforce Commission data, were used to analyze the current and future state of workforce opportunity for RISD students. Below are findings that highly influenced the committee s work: 87% of Dallas county residents work in Dallas County $30,000 is acknowledged as a living wage Methodology Focusing on occupations whose entry wage was $30,000 or greater, the committee determined natural breaks in occupational growth, focusing on occupations projecting an increase of 750 or more new jobs in Dallas County between (Engineer occupations were combined for the analysis.) Based on federal guidelines, all occupations are assigned to an industry cluster. Below is a list of the top 20 occupations, based on the projected increase in new jobs. The table and pie chart below assign the identified occupations to their particular industry cluster. (The count for each cluster is the projected number of jobs added for that cluster in Dallas County from ) 9

14 Section 2: Strategies to Improve CTE in Richardson ISD 13
15 From the four subcommittees a list of commonalities emerged. Below is a model representing these commonalities aligned to the six strategies. Build Pipeline of Connections Personnel Pathways with Higher Education Student Internships Teacher Professional Development Guest Lecturers Adjunct Professors Company Grants CTE Advisors subject matter experts & student guides CTE Qualified/Certified Teachers Adjunct Professors RISD Career & Technical Education Commonalities across all Four Priority Industries Collaboration with DCCD / UTD / & 4-year colleges to facilitate student pathways for post-secondary tracks Increased Dual Credit for upper level CTE courses Expanded Certificates Certifications/Licenses CTE Curriculum Facilities K-12 Student Engagement 21 st Century Soft Skills (Communication/Critical Thinking/ Leadership) Real world experiences in curriculum Course Sequencing Curriculum review to ensure relevance to workforce requirements 21 st Century Learning Environments RISD facilities mirroring the workplace Student/ program capacity (square footage) expansion Equipment relevant for the required skills Increased student enrollment in CTE courses K-6 exposure to CTE courses & experiences Increased opportunities for student CTE extra & cocurricular activities CTE Summer Camp experiences 14
16 To ensure RISD students receive the highest level of CTE education, allowing them to successfully pursue their chosen career path, the following strategies and actions were developed to support this initiative. Each strategy includes both short-term and long-term actions that will guide achievement of each strategy: Strategy 1: Create Sustainable Relationships with Partners in Priority Clusters Short term actions ( ) o Expand work based learning experiences including industry relevant student internships or work study placement programs. o Enhance teacher professional development by incorporating real world experiences and including industry subject matter experts in the planning and delivery of the training. o Hire two CTE Advisors o Incorporate guest lecturers from industry into curriculum/classroom. o Redefine how partnership opportunities are handled in RISD. o Roles and responsibilities of district and foundation personnel o Structure of partnership program (levels, branding, etc.) o Create Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to define relationship with business/industry partners o Research policies and partnerships that allow industry experts to teach or co-teach CTE courses. o Identify the needs for the priority industries/cluster sets in terms of relationship, resources and contacts. Long term actions (2 5 years) o Implement MOUs with partners for priority industries/cluster sets; should cover grants and provision of instructors/facilities. o Create an adjunct CTE model that allows industry experts that are not certified teachers to jointly instruct CTE courses alongside a certified CTE classroom teacher. o Manage and cultivate the relationships with partners. o Add two additional CTE advisors for a total of four 15

Long term actions (2 5 years) o Maximize students in upper level courses/completion of course sequence. 20
22 Section 3: Moving forward: Implementing the Strategic Plan Implementation of this strategic plan will be managed by RISD s CTE Department: Danny Stotts, CTE Director Yvonne Flowers, CTE Specialist Beth Brown, CTE Advisor Janie McGinty, CTE Advisor Progress reports will be provided to Sandra Hayes, Assistant Superintendent, Technology, with a year-end summary provided to the board of trustees. The addition of two more CTE Advisors for will allow each high school campus to have one CTE Advisor to work with students, cultivate relationships with partner businesses, monitor student and program progress, and communicate information to the CTE Department. Because this strategic plan is a multi-year plan, the leadership team will convene on a bi-annual basis to assess progress, discuss challenges and make adjustments to the plan, as needed. 21
23 Measurement of Success One of the guiding principles of this plan is that it is data-driven. Various performance areas will be measured, including student engagement, persistence, achievement, and post-secondary transitions. Outputs Number of students enrolled in a CTE course (by grade level, campus, cluster, number of years in CTE sequence) Number of courses offered (by campus, cluster) Number of allocations scheduled for CTE courses (by campus, cluster) Number of dual credit and articulation courses offered (by campus, cluster) Number of students participating in internships and work study (by grade level, campus, cluster) Number of students completing a CTE sequence (by campus, cluster) Number of students receiving certifications (by type, grade level, campus, cluster) Number of students matriculating to post-secondary (by campus, cluster) Number of CTE teachers trained in PBL model (by campus, cluster) Number of CTE teachers receiving enhanced professional development (by campus, cluster) Outcomes Percent of students taking one CTE course (by grade level [7-12], campus, cluster) Percent of students completing a CTE sequence (by campus, cluster) Percent of students receiving certifications (by type, grade level, campus, cluster) Percent of students participating in extra/co-curricular activities (by type, grade level [7-12], campus, cluster) Percent of CTE teachers trained in PBL model (by campus, cluster) Percent of CTE teachers receiving enhanced professional development (by campus, cluster) Percent of elementary campuses offering enrichment clusters focusing on four priority clusters Percent of students to identify possible career paths of interest (by grade level [6-12], campus, cluster) Percent of students matriculating to post-secondary (by campus, cluster) 22
