How Should Secondary Schools Report Career Tech
Data

• Identify Your Schools Career Tech Courses
• Find The Course Code From The STARS Code Set That
  Best Fits Your Career Tech Course
• Additional Information Needed
• Career Tech Program Of Study
• Programs of study are a coherent, articulated
  sequence of rigorous academic and
  career/technical courses, commencing in the ninth
  grade and leading to an associate degree,
  baccalaureate degree and beyond, an industry
  recognized certificate, and/or licensure.
• Currently STARS does not collect this articulated
  sequence. The Career Tech offices will be working
  closely with the PED IT STARS team in the next
  couple of years to enable this collection within
  the STARS system.

How Should Secondary Schools Report Career Tech
Data

• As a result of this lack of data collection
  within STARS the Career Tech administration has
  developed an online tool to track the articulated
  sequence.
• Tool Goals
• Identify articulated sequence for NM Schools
  Programs Of Study.
• Connect Grant Managers with STARS Coordinators
• Provide PED with Programs and the articulated
  sequence for these programs
• Foundation of an online Perkins Application

Career Tech Questions

Dual Credit

• What are the differences in coding a dual credit
  vs. non-dual credit course?
• There are two main differences to coding a dual
  credit course.
• In the course template use the primary instructor
  code of 9 7s (777777777)
• This will be use in most cases since we estimate
  that the majority of dual credit courses will be
  taught by a post-secondary staff member.
• In the student course enrollment template you
  will indicate a D (Dual) in the field special
  program code.

15
Dual Credit

• What location should I use to indicate a dual
  credit course?
• We have had districts tell us that in their local
  student information system it is easier to create
  a new location and track their dual credit
  students from this new location.
• We are asking that at this time you keep the
  student in their current location for all courses
  to include any dual credit.
• PED is in discussions to add location code for
  each district to incorporate any dual credit
  relationships with postsecondary schools. We are
  in the process of determining and budgetary issue
  if any that might arise due to a change in
  location for one or many dual credit students.

16
Dual Credit

• What is the difference between concurrent and
  dual credit enrollment?
• Dual credit is a subset of concurrent enrollment.
• If a student is taking a class outside of their
  primary location and they are not receiving any
  credit for this class within their primary
  location. This is concurrent enrollment.
• This type of course will be coded the same as the
  dual credit with one exception.
• In the student course enrollment template you
  will indicate a C (Concurrent) in the field
  special program code.
