Documentation of being a part of Hayfield's Secondary School Improvement Plan is available back to 2002-03. During that time frame, I was teaching Family and Consumer Science courses; in 2005-2006 my roles changed to Education for Employment instructor, Cooperative Education coordinator, and CTE department chair.  It is interesting to analyze the involvement of Career and Technical Education in the school improvement process based on administrators.  During the 2002-2003 school improvement review, Family and Consumer Sciences was included as a part of the core subjects' work plan.  For example: The objectives were stated as follows:  "Student Achievement in English, Science, Math, and Social Studies will improve."  Family and Consumer Sciences teachers were responsible for reinforcing the Standards of Learning in the core subjects and included in the total plan.  Likewise Family and Consumer Sciences and Professional Technical Studies (both middle and high school) disciplines were asked to submit a work plan for Target 10 stating "Through research-based alternatives to student suspension, staff training in methods of classroom management, and the provision of intervention measures that foster and promote civility within a classroom, there will be a reduction in suspensions and reduction in the rate of recidivism for suspensions due to acts of violence. In essence the objective is that student behavior will improve. Education for Employment was specifically mentioned as a Special Program and offered through the FACS department.  Description of EFE program documented in the first page of SIP 2002-03 attachment.

In the 2004-2005 School Improvement Plan, our new and current administrator was Dr. William Oehrlein.  The emphasis from that point to the current one is on Target 7 Objective: "To increase the number of professional/technical and Early Childhood Careers students passing the corresponding industry certification tests by 5 percent." Areas of Focus in this plan included Auto Tech license, Business Certification, Cosmetology State Boards, Technology Education CAD 2005 Certification, Marketing Certification, and Early Childhood Careers NOCTI Exam.  At this point in time, Education for Employment students had not been introduced to the OSHA  CareerSafe Credentialing, Customer Service, or Sales Certifications. See School Improvement Plan 2004-2005 attached.

During this 2005-2006 School Improvement Plan, I assumed the role of EFE instructor and CTE department chair and was included on the School Improvement Committee along with the CTE administrator.  The emphasis remained the same Target 7 Objective:  "To increase the number of professional technical and Early Childhood Careers students passing the corresponding industry certifications tests by 5 percent." As one can observe from the notes on the scanned page, the CTE department chair would present the results and corresponding work plans for improvement to the administrators.  See attached documentation and work plan for School Improvement Plan 2005-2006.

The most current School Improvement Plan published has been the 2006-2008 plan.  Dr. Bill Oerhlein is still the current school administrator and the CTE department chair and CTE administrator are included on the School Improvement Committee.  Target 7 Objective remains the same except that the pass rate was increased to 100%.  The 2006-2008 School Improvement documentation and work plan is attached below.
