Trade and Industrial Education
Summary Evaluation

Revised February 2011

 

School: Canadian Valley Technology Center El Reno
Date of Report: November 2012
Program: Welding
Teacher: Toby McEntire
Evaluator(s):
Careertech logo   The Oklahoma Department of Career and Technology Education uses this instrument to evaluate career and technology education according to the standards approved by the State Board of Career and Technology Education.

INTRODUCTION

The Summary Evaluation Questionnaire was developed to assist in evaluating the instructional processes of career and technology education programs.  It is designed for use by both the local teacher in conducting a comprehensive self-evaluation and by an external evaluation team.  The questionnaire is divided into 11 sections, corresponding to the 11 standards of quality program operations.  These standards or best practices have been endorsed by the State Board of Career and Technology Education.

Each standard is followed by a series of rating scale questions or quality indicators that further define the standard. Some questions are identified as State Board Rules, and these questions must be met in order to meet the standard.  The quality indicators may vary among occupational divisions due to unique considerations within those divisions.  The sum total rankings of the State Board Rules and quality indicators below each standard will serve as a ranking of the standard.  The ranking of each standard and the corresponding narrative section will be recorded and reported in the final evaluation report.

DIRECTIONS

Evaluators using this instrument should strive to rate the quality indicators for each program evaluated in relationship to the standards.  Comparing one program with another may result in distorting evaluative information and is highly discouraged.

Questionnaire Rating

To complete the questionnaire, carefully read each standard and the quality indicators that follow.  Questions related to State Board Rules are enclosed in a shaded area and are grouped at the beginning of each standard.  For each question, the evaluator should indicate if the State Board Rules are met or not met by marking the appropriate box in the column on the right.

      Met
Not Met

All other quality indicators are assessed by circling the appropriate rating in the column on the right.  The numbers on the rating scale indicate the following:

Exceeds Standard----------------------------------------

5=Outstanding

4=Above Minimum Standard

Meets Standard------------------------------------------
3=Meets Minimum Standard

Falls Below Standard-------------------------------------

2=Below Minimum Standard

1=Poor (Major Improvement needed.)

Suggested Activities for Teachers

For each standard, there is a suggested list of documents to review or activities to perform as the teacher rates the standard.  The teacher should use these suggestions as a guide but not as a limitation in reviewing the educational experiences. Mark the standard met or not met and, under the question section, rate how well the standard is being met.

Narrative Comments

In the Comments section, provide comments on how the standard is met. Provide examples of situations as evidence the standard is being met.  For low ratings, write examples of what could be done to address the deficiencies.

Suggested Activities for Evaluators

For each standard, there is a suggested list of documents to review or activities to perform as the evaluator rates the standard.  The evaluator should use these suggestions as a guide, but not as a limitation, in reviewing the program.

Narrative Comments

The Comments section of the questionnaire should be used to note specific program characteristics for which recommendations or commendations need to be made.  Items rated below standard should be accompanied by realistic statements on how they can be improved. These notes should be used to write the Commendations and Strengths section, the Specific Recommendations for Improvement section, and the General Suggestions for Improvement section at the conclusion of the evaluation (see pages following Standard 11.)

 

Scoring Totals (Evaluators Only)

To determine if a standard is met, the evaluator should:

  1. Determine if all State Board Rules are met.
  2. a.   Sum the ratings in the column on the right to find the total points.
    b.   Compare the total points to minimum points needed to meet the standard as stated at the end of the standard.
    c.    If any questions were not applicable, use the chart at the end of the standard to determine the minimum points needed to meet the standard.  (The total number of questions rated should include the questions related to State Board Rules.)
Example

Sum the ratings in the preceding columns .....................................................................................     45    Total Points

In order to meet the standard, all State Board Rules must be met and the total points must equal or exceed       36___

If any questions are not applicable, the chart below can be used to determine the total points needed to meet the standard.  (The total number of questions rated should include the questions related to State Board Rules.)

ADVISORY COMMITTEE AND COMMUNITY RELATIONS
STANDARD EIGHT
 

An effective and continuous program of community relations is necessary to maintain a close working relationship with the business and industry sector as well as other organizations and individuals and to ensure that career and technology education is relevant to the needs of students.  The purpose of a community relations effort is to inform the public of the programs operations and capabilities and to generate active participation in the development and implementation of the programs goals.

The instructor should actively strive to encourage community involvement and to promote a greater understanding of the career pathway/majors and the students needs and accomplishments. In addition, each career pathway shall have a formally organized advisory committee that is broadly representative of the school community and of the business and industry community it serves. A list of the names and occupations of the advisory committee members and the minutes of each meeting must be kept on file.

STUDENT ACCOUNTING AND REPORTS
STANDARD ELEVEN
 

Recognizing that the major objective of career and technology education is the gainful employment of the student, a systematic program of job placement and follow-up is essential.  As evidence of efforts to achieve this objective, each local educational institution shall maintain student enrollment, placement, and follow-up records on all students who have enrolled.  These records must be maintained in accordance with divisional requirements and reported as requested to the Oklahoma Department of Career and Technology Education.  Each instructor purporting to train students for gainful employment shall assist career major completers in job placement and maintain placement records.

In exploratory educational experiences where students move from one career major to another, completers should be assisted in continuing their occupational education or assisted in job placement.  Enrollment, placement, continuing education, and follow-up records should be maintained.
