| Dear Colleagues:
Understanding the Federal Carl D. Perkins Act funding process is critical to the financial support of Career Technical Education (CTE) programs. Core Indicator Performance Measures have been established for state and local agency recipients of the Perkins IV funds to determine program success and to assess needs.
A GUIDE TO FEDERAL CARL D. PERKINS ACT/CTE FUNDING has been developed by the Statewide Agriculture and Natural Resources Discipline/Industry Collaborative grant, Accountability Committee, to inform faculty statewide as to the purpose, meaning, and relevance of the CTE Core Indicator Reports and how programs are impacted and evaluated by these reports at the local level.
The Guide answers three basic questions:
- What are Core Indicators?
- Why are Core Indicators important?
- What are Special Populations?
Additionally, the Guide provides a short list of strategies for improving each of the Core Indicators and provides a list of Websites where additional strategies for serving special population students may be found.
We feel that this Guide will be an important resource to share with college faculty and administrators.
