Ticket Changes

Reviewing Transcripting

• Academics for students must fit like a puzzle – different pieces from different places fitting together to make the whole picture.

Do your transcripts look like this?

OCAS Code Course Name Teacher

9000 CareerTech AM Local Tech Center

9001 CareerTech PM Local Tech Center

OCAS Code Course Name Teacher

9000 Vo-Tech AM Local Tech Center

9001 Vo-Tech PM Local Tech Center

OCAS Code Course Name Teacher

4760 LTC AP Statistics Local Tech Center

8700 Pre-Eng Local Tech Center

Issues with NCAA

• NEVER add the name of your local technology center to the course name on students’ transcripts

• Core academic courses count the same regardless of the location of the student (high school or technology center)

• Can delay student participation in sport and scholarships

Instructor State PrID Codes

• 999999 – Concurrent Instructor

• 999999 – CareerTech Instructor

• This would help resolve issues with NCAA, etc.

This is how I’ve always done it…

Why that won’t work anymore…• Most data is now electronic (The WAVE)• All courses are identified by their OCAS code – no

matter where the student takes the course (CareerTech)

• A-F Report Card – Bonus point for Advanced Coursework

• Students transcripts should accurately reflect their high school coursework

• RAOs are now pulling transcripts when visiting schools

CTE Programs in High Schools

• Ag programs– Every Ag program in the state is CTE– Every student should be enrolled in an 8000+ OCAS code – none in

2000+

• FACS Ed programs– 4/5 of the FACS programs in the state are CTE– Those students should be enrolled in 8000+ courses

• Business programs– Over ½ of the business programs in the state are CTE– Those students should be enrolled in 8000+ courses

Transcripting CTE courses

• Federal and State money should follow a trail to the student

• Audits are requiring this money trail

• SDE website - then Accreditation – then scroll down to 2015-16 subject codes

http://www.ok.gov/sde/accreditation-standards-division

CTE Programs at the High School

• There are suggested class size enrollments in CTE programs

• Add those limits to your student information system to remind you

• Math and science courses taught at the technology center follow the same guidelines and Oklahoma Academic

Standards as those taught at the comprehensive school

• These teachers must be highly qualified and Oklahoma subject-certified for the academic courses they teach

Project Lead the Way (PLTW)

• PLTW is a national curriculum taught in CareerTech academies

• There are also PLTW Gateway programs taught in some middle and high schools

• PLTW teachers must be certified by attending training

• CTE often funds a program start-up and then the school has to sustain it

CTE Academic Courses Approved for Academic Credit

PLTW Pre-Engineering and PLTW Biomedical courses can count for academic credit on the ACE College Prep/Work Ready curriculum and can count for OKPromise. • March 2015 approved by State BOE• June 2015 approved by OSRHE

Working together…

• High Schools and Technology Centers MUST work together to solve transcript issues

• High schools only need to add programs offered at their local technology center to their student information system

• Everyone wants to do what’s best for all students

Transcripting

• More than one person should check transcripts – Use a check-and-balance system

Concurrent Enrollment

When a student earns college credit through concurrent enrollment, school districts shall provide academic credit for any concurrently enrolled higher education courses that are correlated with academic credit awarded by the institution of higher education. Academic credit shall only be transcripted as elective credit if there is no correlation between the concurrent enrollment higher education course and a course provided by the school district. (70 O.S. § 628.13) (Standards for Accreditation of Oklahoma Schools, p. 229)

• The student transcript should reflect the high school course, core or elective, the concurrently enrolled course is replacing. The instructional code within the student information system should be coded “college level.” It is recommended that the local district distinguishes the course as a college course.
