What we want from our educational system
• Engagement• Achievement• Transition
Student Engagement
Getting Kids Through HS: The First Measure of Engagement
Good News
• High School Completion = 81% - Highest in 40 Years
• Racial/Ethnic gap is closing
*Graduating class of 2012
Bad News

A state look
• All students: 76.0%• American Indian/Alaska Native: 62%• Asian/Pacific Islander: 87%• Hispanic: 72%• Black (not Hispanic): 74%• White (not Hispanic): 85%

CTE’s potential contributions to engagement
On the RiseASU Morrison Institute for Public Policy
• CTE participation has a positive effect on students’ academic engagement as measured by the likelihood of dropping out and absenteeism.• Tucson Unified – 20 – 60%• Mesa – 79%
Staying Power
• Ratio of 1 academic: 2 CTE courses is optimal• 98% of AZ 2014-2015 concentrators completed high
school vs. 76% of all other AZ high school students• Nationally, 90.18% of CTE concentrators graduate as
opposed to 80.0 % of all freshmen
Discussion• Why do kids that are immersed in CTE programs come to
school regularly and graduate on time?

Transition
Only 40% of 27-year olds have earned an A.A. degree or higher
CTE’s Potential Contributions to Transition
Transition• “According to data from the National Center for Education
Statistics, the majority of CTE students in high school continue on to postsecondary education, and those who join the workforce outright or work to supplement their incomes as they pursue further education are often in a better financial situation than high school graduates who did not pursue CTE.”
Techniques Magazine, February 2014
CTE Sends Students on to Postsecondary Education
• 78% of CTE concentrators enroll in postsecondary education, full time, within two years of graduation
• About one third of all dual enrollment credits—about 600,000 in all—are eared in CTE courses
• Students in postsecondary CTE programs are more likely to be employed within five years than those in an academic field of study

THE PARADIGM IS SHIFTING
College for all?
• 68% start college• Only 40% complete college• 53% of grads are unemployed
or underemployed• Student loan debt now
exceeds auto loans, credit card balances and home-equity loan debt … $1.3 trillion
TIME Magazine
• “Millennials make less money, are more likely to live in poverty and have lower rates of employment than their parents did at their ages 20 and 30 years ago.”
Discussion• Any surprises or insights?

Work-Based Learning• Positive correlations with graduation, academic
achievement and career success.
• 26.1% of young people who could recall no contact with employers while at school went on to be come NEET(Not in Employment, Education or Training). Reduced to 4.3% for those in work-based learning. Dr. Anthony Mann, Education and Employers (2013)
CTSOs• Involvement in CTSOs
(CTE Student Organizations) increases academic achievement, career self efficacy and employability skills.
Community Involvement
• Advisory Councils• CTSO judges• Guest speakers• Mentors• CTSO team trainers
The new (and not so new) challenge:children living in poverty
The Social mobility escalator is broken
• For the first time in 50 years, a majority of U.S. public school students come from low income families.
• CTE can fix the “mobility escalator”
Facts about children in poverty
• Children living in poverty have a higher number of absenteeism or leave school all together because they are more likely to have to work or care for family members.
• Dropout rates of 16 to 24-years-old students who come from low income families are seven times more likely to drop out than those from families with higher incomes.
