    ACTE Quality CTE Program of Study Framework® Program Self-evaluation Instrument

    Through its ongoing High-quality CTE Initiative, ACTE has developed the research-based ACTE Quality CTE Program of Study Framework® to describe the key components of a high-quality CTE program of study. The framework is designed to apply to individual, local CTE programs of study spanning secondary and postsecondary education, although it may be adapted to other units of analysis. The ACTE Quality CTE Program of Study Framework® program self-evaluation is best conducted as part of a collaborative effort among program stakeholders, and a variety of materials should be consulted in order to demonstrate performance in each of the framework elements. All criteria have equal weight.

    Please fill out the following information to help ACTE learn more about the individuals and programs of study using the self-evaluation instrument. This information and your self-evaluation results will remain confidential unless you approve a release of your data to a third party by completing the Data Release section below. ACTE cannot share your data with a third party, such as a CTE administrator, unless you complete the Data Release below.

    In addition, your anonymized evaluation results may be used in future research on high-quality CTE programs. Questions? Contact ACTE Research and Content Director Catherine Imperatore at cimperatore@acteonline.org.

  • Optional Data Release

    If you would like to share your results with a third party such as a school, district or college administrator, please read the following information and enter one email address in the "third-party recipient email address" field.

    I give permission to ACTE to share any information I submit through the Quality CTE Program of Study Framework Self-evaluation Instrument online tool as well as my self-evaluation results with the following third party. Information and data shared will include:

    • Name and contact information of the person submitting the online self-evaluation
    • Name of the program(s) of study being evaluated
    • Results, including overall score (percentage and numerical); scores for each of the 12 elements (percentage and numerical); and scores on each criterion (numerical)

EVALUATION CRITERIA

0 = Not at all achieved
No evidence of the criterion in the program of study.

1 = Minimally achieved
The criterion is minimally implemented in the program of study. For example:

  • implementation is just beginning
  • implementation is evident infrequently
  • implementation is evident in a small portion of the program of study
  • access is limited to a small segment of students

2 = Moderately achieved
The criterion is evident in the program of study, but implementation is uneven or incomplete. For example:

  • only part of the criterion is evident
  • implementation is evident part of the time, but not on a sustained and regular basis
  • implementation is evident in portions of the program of study
  • access is available to most, but not all, students

3 = Substantially achieved
The criterion has been fully implemented throughout the entire program of study. For example:

  • all parts of the criterion are evident
  • implementation is evident on a regular and sustained basis
  • implementation is evident across all portions of the program of study
  • access is available to all students
