This book was released on 2007 with total page 173 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The "Carl D. Perkins Vocational and Technical Education Act of 1998" requires that the Secretary provide the appropriate committees of Congress copies of annual reports received by the department from each eligible agency that receives funds under the Act. Congress has made "accountability for results" a central focus of the Perkins III legislation, setting out new performance accountability requirements for states and local programs. These requirements were established "to assess the effectiveness of the State in achieving statewide progress in vocational and technical education, and to optimize the return of investment of Federal funds in vocational and technical education activities." This is the sixth annual report to Congress by the Department of Education. It transmits data that states submitted to the department for Program Year (PY) 2004-05. Highlights include: (1) Fewer students were reported by states as having enrolled in career and technical education courses in PY 2004-05 than in the previous program year, but the rate of enrollment was still higher than in the earlier years of "Perkins III" implementation; (2) Although there have been some improvements, concerns remain regarding the accuracy of states' performance data; (3) Sixteen states met or exceeded each of their PY 2004-05 secondary performance levels; (4) Nine states and the District of Columbia met or exceeded each of their PY 2004-05 postsecondary performance levels; and (5) Twenty-three states were awarded incentive grants from the Department during PY 2004-05 for having exceeded their performance levels overall under "Perkins III," Title I of the "Workforce Investment Act" ("WIA"), and the "Adult Education and Family Literacy Act" ("AEFLA"). The following are appended: (1) Allocation of Title I Funds to Secondary and Postsecondary Career and Technical Education under "Perkins III," PY 2004-05; (2) States' Definitions of "Concentrator" in Secondary and Postsecondary Career and Technical Education, PY 2004-05; (3) States' Measurement Approaches for "Perkins III" Secondary and Postsecondary Academic Skills and Vocational Skills Attainment; and (4) Individual State Data Profiles, PY 2004-05. A glossary of terms is also included. (Contains 13 figures, 9 tables, and 22 footnotes.)

Congress has made "accountability for results" a central focus of the Perkins III legislation, setting out new performance accountability requirements for states and local programs. These requirements were established "to assess the effectiveness of the State in achieving statewide progress in vocational and technical education, and to optimize the return of investment of Federal funds in vocational and technical education activities." This is the fifth annual report to Congress by the Department of Education. It transmits data that states submitted to the department for Program Year (PY) 2003-2004. Highlights include: (1) Fewer students were reported by states as having enrolled in vocational and technical education courses in PY 2003-2004 than in the previous year, but the rate of enrollment is still higher than in the earlier years of Perkins III implementation; (2) Although there have been some improvements, concerns remain regarding states' performance data; (3) Two states met or exceeded each of their PY 2003-2004 secondary performance levels; (4) Three states met or exceeded each of their postsecondary performance levels; and (5) Nineteen states were awarded incentive grants from the department during PY 2003-2004 for having exceeded their performance levels overall under Perkins III, Title I of the Workforce Investment Act (WIA), and the Adult Education and Family Literacy Act (AEFLA). The report reveals that over all, many states have continued to make progress in building their performance accountability systems for vocational and technical education in response to Perkins III. For the most part, states continue to refine and upgrade their measurement approaches and are increasingly using their data for state and local program improvement. Attachments include: (1) Perkins State Allocations: PY 2003-2004; (2) States' Definitions of "Concentrators": PY 2003-2004; (3) States' Measurement Approaches for Academic and Technical Skill Attainment; (4) Glossary of Terms; and (5) Individual State Data Profiles: PY 2003-2004.

Perkins Vocational and Technical Education Act of 1998 requires, in Sec. 113(c)(3)(C), that the secretary provide the appropriate committees of Congress copies of annual reports received by the U.S. Department of Education from each eligible agency that receives funds under Perkins III. Sec. 113(c)(3)(A) further requires the secretary to make the information contained in such reports available to the general public. This report contains information on states' progress in achieving their adjusted performance levels —negotiated with and approved by the Department—on the core indicators of performance listed in Sec. 113(b)(2)(A) of Perkins III: Student attainment of challenging state-established academic, vocational and technical skill proficiencies, hereafter referred to as academic and skill attainment; Student attainment of a secondary school diploma or its recognized equivalent, a proficiency credential in conjunction with a secondary school diploma, or a postsecondary degree or credential, hereafter referred to as completion; Placement in, retention in, and completion of, postsecondary education or advanced training, placement in military service, or placement or retention in employment, hereafter referred to as placement and retention; and Student participation in and completion of career and technical education programs that lead to nontraditional training and employment, hereafter referred to as nontraditional programs. This is the Department's eighth annual report to Congress. This report transmits data that states submitted to the Department for program year (PY) 2006–07. State directors were required to attest to the accuracy and completeness of their data by signing their data submissions. State directors who submitted their data electronically to the Department attested to the accuracy and completeness of their data using an electronic personal identification number (PIN). Among the highlights of this report: 1) States reported a higher number of students as having enrolled in career and technical education courses in PY 2006–07 than in the previous program year. The level of enrollment is the highest in the eight years (PY 1999–2007) of Perkins III implementation. 2) Although there have been some improvements, concerns remain regarding the accuracy of states' performance data. Among the major issues are the use of varying performance measures that do not share a common standard for validity and reliability; the variety of student population definitions used by states (i.e., whom they count in their accountability system); the inability of some states to track students' transition to subsequent education and employment; and the limited availability of national or state assessments to evaluate students' technical skill attainment—an important outcome of participation in career and technical education. 3) Eleven states met or exceeded each of their PY 2006–07 secondary performance levels. These states are: Alaska, Colorado, Idaho, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Texas, Virginia, West Virginia and Wyoming. This represents a decrease of 26.7 percent from PY 2005–06 when fifteen states met or exceeded each of their secondary performance levels. 4) Three states met or exceeded each of their PY 2006–07 postsecondary performance levels. The states are: Hawaii, Mississippi, and Missouri. This represents a decrease of 40.0 percent from PY 2005–06 when five states met or exceeded each of their postsecondary performance levels. 5) Eight states were awarded incentive grants9 from the U. S. Department of Labor during PY 2006–07 for having exceeded their performance levels overall under Perkins III, Title I of the Workforce Investment Act (WIA), and the Adult Education and Family Literacy Act (AEFLA): Arizona, Connecticut, Illinois, Missouri, Montana, Ohio, South Carolina, and South Dakota. This represents an 11 percent decrease from PY 2005–06 when nine states were awarded incentive grants.
