Barry, Branch and Calhoun ISDs' Tech Prep Consortium Plan:  

2009-2010 - Region 21

 

Program Name:    Tech Prep

 

Program Dates:  July 1, 2009 - June 30, 2010

 

Funding Source:  Carl D. Perkins Vocational and Technical Education Act (federal)

 

Allocation:  $111,704

  

Tech Prep:

The consortium of local school districts, intermediate school districts, career/technology centers and Kellogg Community College has collaboratively developed a Tech Prep Long Range Plan that extends from 2008-2013. The activities in this annual plan align with and support the long range plan.

 

Required:

Tech Prep requires the alignment between eleventh and twelfth grade high school courses and community college curriculum to provide non-duplicative transition from secondary to post-secondary. A Tech Prep student has an EDP and is enrolled in an articulated program leading to a two-to-four year technical degree or certificated program. Tech Prep program curriculum focuses on the integration of technology, educational development plans (EDPs) and preparation for careers that require education and training beyond high school. The Tech Prep program builds student competence and workplace skills through applied, contextual learning and integrated instruction (authentic instruction) in a coherent sequence of courses including math, science, reading, writing, communications, economics and technologies leading to an apprenticeship, certificate, or associate or baccalaureate degree in a specific career field. According to Michigan guidelines, Tech Prep money can NOT be spent below eleventh grade, and 25 percent of the funds must be allocated to the community college partner.

 

Local Plan:

  • Kellogg Community College funding from this grant will be used to support half of a Tech Prep support position to be a contact for local school districts, facilitate the career pathway and EDP processes from the community college’s end, monitor and update KCC’s articulation agreements and articulation web page, develop materials to market EDPs and pathways, and help Tech Prep students who enroll at KCC to take advantage of the seamless transition and articulation process.  ($48,222)

 

  • The region will continue to use Tech Prep funds to provide support for staff development including state and national Tech Prep conference attendance, future counselor academies, support for developing and using articulated technical careers programs and for Tech Prep curriculum integration and contextual learning (authentic instruction).   ($20,642)

 

  • The grant also funds regional coordination of Tech Prep programs, including business and education partnership development, coordination of academic integration, professional development and administration of the grant.  (Salaries:  $32,340; Supplies:  $10,500)

 

  • Plans will be developed to address improvement in all nine performance measures.

 

  • Secondary and post-secondary will also work in collaboration to meet the minimum level for each performance measure for Tech Prep students and programs. This will require significant sharing of data, resources and information between the secondary and post-secondary partners. The performance Measures for Tech Prep are:

 

    1.  Increase the number and percent of secondary

         Tech Prep students who will enroll in post-secondary 

         education.

 

    2.  Increase the number and percent of secondary

         Tech Prep students who enroll in the same field

         or major in post-secondary education as in

         secondary education.

 

    3.  Increase the number and percent of secondary

         Tech Prep students who complete a state or

         industry recognized certification or licensure.

 

    4.  Increase the number and percent of secondary

         Tech Prep students who complete courses that

         award post-secondary credit at the secondary level.

 

    5.  Decrease the number and percent of secondary

         Tech Prep students who enroll in remedial math,

         writing or reading coursed in post-secondary

         education.

 

    6.  Increase the number and percent of post-secondary

         Tech Prep students who are placed in a related

         field of employment within 12 months after

         graduation from the Tech Prep program.

 

    7.  Increase the number and percent of post-secondary

         Tech Prep students who complete a state or

         industry recognized certification or licensure.

 

    8.  Increase the number and percent of post-secondary

         Tech Prep students who complete a 2-year degree

         or certificate program within normal time for

         completion of the program.

 

    9.  Increase the number and percent of post-secondary

         Tech Prep students who complete a baccalaureate

         degree program within normal time for completion

         of the program.
