DiscoveR10CTECTE Updates and Resources

Summer Time and the Living is CTE

Most of our LEAs have finished out their school years and have entered their Summer "break." In reality, educational institutions never rest or get a true break. All of you continue to work all Summer to help students overcome gaps, plan for the next year, seek answers to the endless questions that the new school year will bring, and analyze and desegregate data. With that, we hope that you take a breath and some time to re-charge. There are a lot of questions surrounding CTE and how it will work in the Fall. We have been asking these questions diligently and awaiting answers. We are advocating vehemently on your behalf because our living is CTE. It might be summertime, but Region 10 is still here for you to answer your questions, help where you might need it, and provide training opportunities for your faculty and staff. Reach out if we can assist you!

Endorsements

  • If more than one endorsement is listed for a Program of Study, you can choose which endorsement
  • Example: if a student does not meet the core requirements for a STEM endorsement, and Business and Industry is listed as an option, then the student could get the Business and Industry Endorsement
  • Existing endorsement rules in effect, but this will be an additional avenue; another bullet within the endorsement wording
  • See POS and Endorsement Crosswalk linked above

IBC Reimbursement Questions Answered

1. When will vendor code reporting begin for Industry Based Certifications?


  • Answer: The vendor code and cost reporting begins in summer submission 3; however, this information will not be available to submit in PEIMS until fall submission 1. Because of that, districts will have to go through a one-time process for summer submission 3 to submit the vendor code and cost. TEA plans to release this process in July.



2. Will LEAs report costs in their submissions this summer (if they want to be reimbursed) and then get reimbursed during the settle up in Spring 2021?


  • Answer: Yes – the window for reimbursement for the 2019-2020 school year is September 1, 2019-August 31, 2020 for an April 2021 settle-up. The 2020-2021 reimbursement will have an April 2022 settle-up, and so on and so forth.

IBMs Free Open P-Tech Platform

IBM recently developed a free Open P-Tech platform for schools to use for free with their students. The Open P-Tech platform has several curated learning tracks that lead to various badges that students can earn.

Many of the learning tracks are geared toward students who are interested in technology fields. For students who are not interested in technology, there is a professional skills and mindfulness learning track that I am using for some health science curriculum that I am writing.

If you know of any schools that would be interested in using this platform, IBM has offered to provide them with training. School districts can reach out to Cliff Archey carchey@us.ibm.com or Erick Espinoza erick.espinoza@ibm.com

IBM is also very invested in helping develop quality P-Tech programs as part of the corporate responsibility mission. If any schools need assistance with that, they can reach out to Sherry Wynn sherry.wynn@ibm.com
