Artifact 74- Analysis of disaggregated student enrollment data (3 years)
There are several ways to look and analyze disaggregated data on student enrollments: Several ways would be:
Viewing the Lee County Career and Technical Center enrollment, conclusions can be reached that school enrollment is increasing in all departments. The enrollment data provided me with an informative amount of information that as a teacher I am usually unaware of.
Based on gender, the Computer Information Program is fairly gender equal on male-female ratio. Enrollment by gender fluctuates but stays steady between 70-80 students per year with just a 10 or 12% point range between male and female. Within the business field we will always see a more equal ratio between male and female compared to other career and technical programs.
One of the Lee County Career and Technical Centers greatest weaknesses is diverse student population. We are a community that does not have a large diverse population as some other communities. You can clearly see in our enrollment data that the diverse population is not 2% of our student population. The trend in the computer information systems program and all programs shows that the White population is about 98% of enrollment. The Hispanic population fluctuates based on family situations.
Economically disadvantaged population is increasing in the Career & Technical Programs. With the current national economic issues such as budget cuts in all career areas, the population of economically disadvantaged students will be increase.
Student population with disabilities is also low. Most students who fall within the disabilities population are students who have individual educational plans (IEPSs) not students with chronic handicapping disabilities. Within the Lee County Career & Technical Center we make every effort to meet the needs of all students.
It is our goal at the Lee County Career & Technical Center to increase enrollment each year. We would like to see an increase in non-traditional enrollment and in minority students. However, our population will have a lot of impact on how the enrollment will develop.

Artifact 76 - analysis of disaggregated competency attainment data (3 years)
Reviewing and analyzing the attainment data on the competency attainment data chart for Computer Information Systems, it clearly shows that all students and completers of the program have met 80% or higher in the attainment of the Computer Information Systems competencies.
It is very important that one understand the enrollment drop in the Computer Information Systems program during the 2008-2009. I was beginning a new course “Information Technology Fundamentals” and we had an increasing enrollment that year in the new course offering. However, you can tell that once the program got up and running and other teachers were trained to teach the new course, the Computer Information Systems enrollment increased.
As the instructor for the Computer Information Systems Program, I place a great deal of importance on the goal of all students attaining at least 80% of their course competencies. I would like to see an increase in the minority and non-traditional group of students, however, in our community; I do not see a large increase in these two areas.
Artifact 77- analysis of disaggregated CTE Certification Data (3 years)
My goal as the Computer Information Systems Instructor is to provide testing options for all students and to see that all completers test and achieve their industry certification in Microsoft Office before the end of each school year.
Within the Computer Information Systems program, we offer the Microsoft Office Specialist Industry Certification. Microsoft Office Specialist (MOS) is the credential required by academia and business, recognized globally as the premier credential chosen by individuals seeking to validate their knowledge, skills and abilities relating to the Microsoft Office systems.
In academia, MOS promotes success in the class room for students and instructors, and prepares students for an increasingly competitive workforce. For business, MOS maximizes office productivity and efficiency for the organization and increases job satisfaction and heightens career achievement among employees. In workforce development, MOS prepares and places job candidates, ensuring they possess the skills employers require.
Our Business Education Department this past year purchased an unlimited testing voucher packet that allows testing an unlimited number of students and as many times a student needs to be tested to gain their industry certification. The unlimited voucher system also has given students the opportunity to obtain multiple industry certifications within the Microsoft Office Specialist Certification.
The pass rate for the Computer Information Systems Program is around 94%. This is a great accomplishment and I also see an increase in the students pass rate on their second certification. I feel that the second certification increase is due to the fact that the students are comfortable with testing and the format since they have already tested once before.
