Economic Stimulus BillImprove student achievement through school improvement and

reform:

Making progress toward rigorous college- and career-ready standards and high-quality assessments

Establishing pre-K-to college and career data systems that track progress and foster continuous improvement

Making improvements in teacher effectiveness and in the equitable distribution of qualified teachers for all students, particularly students who are most in need;

Providing intensive support and effective interventions for the lowest-performing schools

Perkins Grant GoalsState goals for use of funds:• Academic and technical skills (professional technical education)

development for students in vocational programs

• “All aspects" of an industry (related to a broad understanding of world of work, i.e., marketing, finance, production, customer service, management, human resources, etc.)

• Connections between secondary and post-secondary (curriculum and assessments)

• Curriculum development, implementation and integration

• Application of technology to the teaching process and as training of students in technology related careers

http://www.pcc.edu/pavtec/perkins/default.htm




Perkins Grant Purpose

• To develop more fully the academic, vocational, and technical skills of secondary and post-secondary students who elect to enroll in vocational technical education programs, by

• Building on the efforts of States and localities to develop challenging academic standards

• Promoting the development of services and activities that integrate academic, vocational, and technical instruction, and that link secondary and post-secondary vocational programs

• Increasing State and local flexibility in providing services and activities designed to develop, implement, and improve vocational and technical education


What do we have to help?• During the current economic climate as customers struggle to find the

funds to keep their courses current, we have created the Perkins Shopping Site http://www.cengagesites.com/academic/?site=4368

Did you know…When students see the connection between

school and career opportunities: They stay in school longer

Work harder

Perform better


Where do we go from here?

Think about your courses You already have assignments – how can you change them to

incorporate more math? Cengage Learning may have just solutions you need

Think about your students We’re usually the last stop before they enter the workplace You have an opportunity to make a real difference
