Executive Summary

 

 

 

 

2007/2008 Plan Status: Final

 

District: Glasgow Independent

 

 

Plan Year:

2007/2008

Plan Status Date: 7-1-07


MISSION STATEMENT:

By providing superior educational opportunities, Glasgow Independent Schools, in service to and in partnership with families and the community of Glasgow, will produce graduates who are responsible citizens, prepared to excel in a dynamic global society.


COMPREHENSIVE PLANNING PROCESS:

The Comprehensive Planning Process in conjunction with our district's Strategic Planning Process consisted of involving numerous community leaders, parents, administrators, teachers, and students to assess the needs of our district and articulate their vision of where they would like our district to go in the future.


NEEDS ASSESSMENT:

The Strategic Plan/Comprehensive Plan Team analyzed state assessment data, the district facility plan, school gap reports, and school comprehensive plans to develop 7 goals.  From those goals, individual action plan teams developed action plans for each specific goal.  Action Plans were then analyzed and an initiation date determined.

PRIORITY NEED:

Activities and strategies that:

  1. Will increase the Academic Proficiency of Technical Education students.
  2. Will increase the number of Career Major Certificates, Certificates of Achievement, and Technical Concentrators.

        3.    Will increase the percentage of Technical Ed. Students who

               Participate/complete non-traditional training programs.

 

GOAL:  (A Goal address a Priority Need)

 

The academic achievement will improve at the same rate as all other students by the end of the 2007-08 school year.

II.

CAUSE(S)/CONTRIBUTING FACTORS:  (based on needs analysis)

Glasgow High School has traditionally been a primarily academic focused school.  Therefore, preparation for college has been the staff’s primary goal rather than preparing students for the work force or post-secondary technical education.

MEASURABLE OBJECTIVE(S):  (Objectives address Causes or Contributing Factors)

 

Increase the Academic Proficiency of Technical students at the same rate as all other students by the end of the 07-08 school year.

 

Increase the number of Technical classes offered to increase the number of Career Technical Concentrators by the end of the 2007-08 school year to be measured by the number of students taking the new classes.

 

Improve the participation/completion with non-traditional training programs 5% at the end of the 07-08 school year.

III.  STRATEGY/ACTIVITY [activity or sequence of activities to achieve objective(s)]

Strategy/Activity

 

 

Employ an on-site person to oversee the CTE programs at Glasgow High School and assist in the following:

 

1.  Identifying CTE students on the KCCT student response booklets.

 

 

2.  Entering all students enrolled in any CTE course in TEDS.

 

 

 

 

3.  Aligning CTE curriculum with the core content and skill standards for assessment.

 

4.  Collaborating with content area teachers to integrate academics and real world experiences.

 

5. Advising students of the criteria for obtaining a career major certificate or certificate of achievement and encouraging them to seek certification.

 

6.  Developing and maintaining a record of students who qualify for certificates and ensure that this information is entered into TEDS.

 

7.  Meeting with CTE teachers on a regular basis to review progress and promote CTE programs

 

 

 

 

 

Increase CTE student participation in Skills Standard Testing in Career Major Areas by making them aware of the benefits.

 

 

 

 

Continue “Project Lead the Way”.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Teach employability skills in CTE classes.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Continue to adapt CTE course offerings to meet students’ needs & interest.

 

 

 

 

Expected Impacts

 

 

 

 

 

 

The academic achievement of Career Technical students will increase due to correct identification.

 

Increased CTE student identification as preparatory or exploratory will assist in student direction and an increase in students who attain certificates.

 

Alignment of CTE curriculum and core content will increase the academic success of CTE students.

 

Collaboration with core content teachers will increase the academic success of CTE students.

 

Informed students will be more likely to complete a CTE program and receive a career major or achievement certificate.

 

 

Maintaining student records in TEDS will assist both the students and the CTE teachers know who qualifies for which certificate.

 

Keeping teachers up to date on the progress of their students, KOSSA testing, and pertinent information will increase the achievement of CTE programs.

 

 

 

Increased student participation in Skills Standard Testing will increase the number of completers.

 

 

 

 

 

Continuation of this program will increase the number of students participating in Technical Education classes and increase the participation/completion of non-traditional training programs.

 

 

Increased knowledge of employability skills will provide CTE graduates the opportunity to be more successful in post-secondary education, work, or the military.

 

 

 

This will help attract students to the programs that may not normally take a CTE course.
