Extractions: Academic Excellence Through Career and Technical Education - A Resource Kit Incorporating the CTE Curriculum Matrix Career and technical education students in selected schools are equaling or outperforming college-prep students on state math, science and English tests. What these schools have done can be replicated in most CTE programs leading to similar success. The schools compared the academic standards/benchmarks in their state to what was actually on the state tests in English, math and science. Often, a relatively small portion of the standards/benchmarks made up a majority of the test questions. They then embedded this content in their CTE curricula and trained their CTE teachers to cover them. Not surprisingly, when taught these high-priority standards in an applied setting, the CTE students learned them well. Academic Excellence Through Career and Technical Education can help your CTE programs accomplish the same thing. It incorporates the Curriculum Matrix, which correlates your state standards in math, science, and English language arts to the state testing program and to a national survey of the essential skills that graduates need in their post-school lives. In this kit, the Curriculum Matrix has been expanded to show which English, math and science test priorities can be addressed in each CTE area.

Extractions: An Analysis of The Modified Census Based Special Education Program EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In May 1997, MAP recommended to the State of Wyoming a "Cost-Based Block Grant" for school finance. That recommendation has subsequently been adopted. As part of its proposal, MAP recommended that the State of Wyoming eventually move towards the adoption of a modified "census-based" funding mechanism for special education. This report attempts to initiate a discussion about how such a mechanism might be implemented. The May 1997 report noted that a specific design of a modified census-based funding mechanism for special education could not be developed until the State "implement[s] procedures that allow tracking special education specific costs to each handicapping condition. When these data are available, MAP recommends adoption of a modified, census based formula." These procedures are not yet in place, and data are not yet available by which specific historical special education costs in Wyoming can be determined. When these data are available, the Wyoming Department of Education will develop detailed proposals to implement the modified census-based recommendation. In the absence of these data, the present report makes a number of estimates and assumptions in order to illustrate what these detailed proposals might look like. The eventual proposals of the Department of Education, however, may look very different from the illustrations in this report, as they will be based on actual data.

A district staff development needs assessment was completed by certified staff in April 2002. The district staff development plan was revised and submitted to the Professional Teaching Standards Board. Curriculum and assessment teams continue to refine districtwide assessments. The database for tracking types of training for certified staff was revised to be more user friendly. District inservices were conducted to support the district and building goals in content areas such as reading, language arts and math. Certified staff was accounted for on the district database as having earned PTSB credit through a district or school site professional development activity. Kindergarten, first- and second-grade teachers began training in SALSA to prepare for teaching Spanish. Both certificated and classified employees participated in a wide range of training classes, as well as education-related professional development.
