Perkins Legislation
The Perkins Act of 2006, Section 113, Accountability, states that Performance Indicators must be designed to assess the effectiveness of the state and local funding recipients in achieving progress in CTE.
Perkins Legislation
These indicators must be valid and reliable. One of these indicators, 2S1 – Technical Skills Attainment, states, “Student attainment of career and technical skill proficiencies, including student achievement on technical assessments, that are aligned with industry-recognized standards..”
Which Students Must Be Assessed?
• Secondary CTE students who have at least reached concentrator status, but are as close to the end of the program as possible
• Who is a concentrator?– A student who has completed courses
with a 2.0 grade or better that covers seven or more segments
Which Students Must Be Assessed?
If concentrators are assessed, they should not be returning to the program the following school year.
When Should Students Be Assessed?
• At the end of the program or as close as possible to the end
• When students have completed coursework covering all of the program standards
• When students leave or complete the program

Certifications
Some assessments also have a certification associated with it. Students may take the certification, the assessment, or both.
Assessments/Certifications/Field Test
CertificationsIf a student takes only the certification and does not pass, then the student will be counted for Core Performance Indicator (CPI) 2S1 reporting and can become a completer.
AssessmentsIf a student should take both the certification and the assessment, and passes one but fails the other, then CTE will take the passing score and this will be used for Core Performance Indicator 2S1 reporting.
