Exercise 9.5 Preparing for the Application of Learning

Briefly describe an educational program you recently attended.
PEIMS & CTE training at the ESC Region XI service center: the training was geared to assist CTE Directors and counselors on how to code CTE students for state funding and Achieve Texas guidelines.

Complete an individual plan, as outlined in the following chart, specifying how you will apply what you learned.


List knowledge; skills; problem-solving and finding capabilities; and/or attitudes, values, feelings learned: How to code CTE students for state funding purpose (V1, V2, V3); How to code CTE students in alignment with the Achieve Texas model (0, 1, 2, 3); Preparation for the changes with CTE that will take place in 2010-2011

Specify when, where, and how you want to apply what you have learned: Currently applying what I learned as I check every student coded and enrolled in a CTE course at the high school

Name people who could offer assistance, support: Previous CTE Director; High School Counselor; ESC Region XI CTE Specialist; Other CTE Coordinators in the area; PEIMS coordinator for the district


List other resources that might be helpful (such as books, training programs). Specify how you will know you are successfully using the new knowledge; skills; problem-finding or –solving capabilities; and/or values and attitudes: Handout provided in the training; PEIMS website; TEA website

I will know I am using the new knowledge successfully when I show the coding changes that need to be made to the PEIMS coordinator and she agrees with my suggested changes. I will also know that I am using the new knowledge successfully when I am able to catch those students who are coded incorrectly and make the necessary changes.

Specify a time frame: 2009-2010 school year
