Perkins IV - Secondary Indicators

Carol Brooks

Illinois State Board of Education


Intent of Perkins IV

The Carl D. Perkins Career and Technical Education Improvement Act of 2006 makes several key changes regarding accountability and program improvement.


State and Local Accountability

Under the 1998 law, the major provisions of the Perkins accountability system applied only to states. The new law extends the accountability system to local programs as well.


Performance Indicators

Under the 2006 law, states and local programs will be required to report on separate core performance indicators for secondary and postsecondary students. Measures for each indicator must be valid and reliable.


Secondary Definitions

CTE Participant: A secondary student who has earned one (1) or more credits in any career and technical education (CTE) program area.



Program Area – Program of Study, Sequence of courses (Cluster/Pathway).

Course – One hour year long study or one semester multiple hour block or other state time standard of state designation.



CTE Concentrator: A secondary student who has earned three (3) or more credits in a single CTE program area (e.g., health care or business services), or two (2) credits in a single CTE program area, but only in those program areas where 2 credit sequences at the secondary level are recognized by the State and/or its local eligible recipients.


Secondary Indicators 1S1: Academic Attainment – Reading /

Language Arts 1S2: Academic Attainment – Mathematics 2S1: Technical Skill Attainment 3S1: Secondary School Completion 4S1: Student Graduation Rates 5S1: Secondary Placement 6S1: Nontraditional Participation 6S2: Nontraditional Completion


1S1: Academic Attainment – Reading/Language Arts Numerator: Number of CTE concentrators who have met

the proficient or advanced level on the Statewide high school reading/language arts assessment administered by the State under Section 1111(b)(3) of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) as amended by the No Child Left Behind Act based on the scores that were included in the State’s computation of adequate yearly progress (AYP) and who, in the reporting year, left secondary education.

Denominator: Number of CTE concentrators who took the ESEA assessments in reading/language arts whose scores were included in the State’s computation of AYP and who, in the reporting year, left secondary education.


1S2: Academic Attainment – Mathematics Numerator: Number of CTE concentrators who have met

the proficient or advanced level on the Statewide high school mathematics assessment administered by the State under Section 1111(b)(3) of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) as amended by the No Child Left Behind Act based on the scores that were included in the State’s computation of AYP and who, in the reporting year, left secondary education.

Denominator: Number of CTE concentrators who took the ESEA assessments in mathematics whose scores were included in the State’s computation of AYP and who, in the reporting year, left secondary education.


2S1: Technical Skill Attainment

Numerator: Number of CTE concentrators who passed technical skill assessments that are aligned with industry-recognized standards, if available and appropriate, during the reporting year.

Denominator: Number of CTE concentrators who took the assessments during the reporting year.


2S1/1P1: Technical Skill AttainmentFinal Desired ApproachGold – An external 3rd party (eg. ASE) assessment of

state/industry/postsecondary agreed upon standards (clusters/pathways)

Interim ApproachSilver – Teacher/Instructor developed assessment of

state/industry/postsecondary agreed upon standards (clusters/pathways) meeting state established validity and reliability guidelines

Bronze – No longer available after phase-in period includes other indicators of technical skill attainment such as GPA, course completion, program completion, etc.


3S1:Secondary School Completion Numerator: Number of CTE concentrators who earned a

regular secondary school diploma, earned a General Education Development (GED) credential as a State-recognized equivalent to a regular high school diploma (if offered by the State) or other State-recognized equivalent (including recognized alternative standards for individuals with disabilities), or earned a proficiency credential, certificate, or degree, in conjunction with a secondary school diploma (if offered by the State) during the reporting year.

Denominator: Number of CTE concentrators who left secondary education during the reporting year.


4S1: Student Graduation Rates Numerator: Number of CTE concentrators who,

in the reporting year, were included as graduated in the State’s computation of its graduation rate as described in Section 1111(b)(2)(C)(vi) of the ESEA.

Denominator: Number of CTE concentrators who, in the reporting year, were included in the State’s computation of its graduation rate as defined in the State’s Consolidated Accountability Plan pursuant to Section 1111(b)(2)(C)(vi) of the ESEA.


5S1: Secondary Placement Numerator: Number of CTE concentrators who

left secondary education and were placed in postsecondary education or advanced training, in the military service, or employment in the second quarter following the program year in which they left secondary education (i.e., unduplicated placement status for CTE concentrators who graduated by June 30, 2007 would be assessed between October 1, 2007 and December 31, 2007).

Denominator: Number of CTE concentrators who left secondary education during the reporting year.


6S1: Nontraditional Participation Numerator: Number of CTE participants

from underrepresented gender groups who participated in a program that leads to employment in nontraditional fields during the reporting year.

Denominator: Number of CTE participants who participated in a program that leads to employment in nontraditional fields during the reporting year.


6S2: Nontraditional Completion

Numerator: Number of CTE concentrators from underrepresented gender groups who completed a program that leads to employment in nontraditional fields during the reporting year.

Denominator: Number of CTE concentrators who completed a program that leads to employment in nontraditional fields during the reporting year.

Performance Levels

States must at minimum include objective, quantifiable, and measurable target performance levels for each of the core performance indicators.


Performance Levels

The law requires the Secretary of Education and States to negotiate performance measures for the first two program years covered by the State plan and reach agreement.


Performance Levels

These negotiations would be repeated in subsequent years, prior to the third and fifth program years covered by the State plan.


Performance Levels

Local programs must either accept the state adjusted levels of performance as the local levels of performance or negotiate with the State to reach agreement on new local adjusted levels of performance.


Performance Levels

Local performance levels must also be objective, quantifiable, and measurable.


Disaggregation of performance data The law requires State and local programs

to annually report on the performance of CTE students.

Data must be disaggregated by special populations (as defined in the Act) and subgroups as defined under the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB).
