CVTE SIMS The Student Information Management System (SIMS) is a student-level data collection system that allows the Department to collect and analyze accurate and comprehensive information, to meet federal and state reporting requirements, and to inform policy and programmatic decisions. Career/Vocational Technical Education Unit

CVTE From: Instructions for School Districts in Reporting Students Enrolled in Career/Vocational Technical Education Programs In order to be considered for Perkins funding, information on students in career/vocational technical education programs must be reported. If a school district has met one or more of the following criteria, information on secondary students in career/vocational technical education programs must be submitted to SIMS. Career/Vocational Technical Education Unit

CVTE Criteria for Reporting CVTE Data in SIMS § District has state-approved vocational technical education programs known as “Chapter 74 approved vocational technical education programs” on the secondary level) and/or § District has other career/vocational technical education programs known as non-Chapter 74 CVTE programs on the secondary level. A non-Chapter 74 CVTE program is a career/vocational technical education program that is not a Chapter 74 -approved vocational technical education program, but that does meet the Perkins Act definition of a CVTE program which is organized educational activities that: A. B. offer a sequence of courses that provides individuals with the academic and technical knowledge and skills the individuals need to prepare for further education and for careers (other than for careers requiring a baccalaureate, masters, or doctoral degree) in current or emerging employment sectors; and includes competency-based applied learning that contributes to the academic knowledge, higher-order reasoning and problem-solving skills, work attitudes, general employability skills, and occupational specific skills, of an individual. In addition, the program must be of such size, scope and quality to be effective. Career/Vocational Technical Education Unit

CVTE Clusters in the Massachusetts Frameworks Vocational Technical Education Curriculum Frameworks serve as the basis for assessing the performance of students seeking a Certificate of Occupational Proficiency. The 43 Vocational Technical Education Curriculum Frameworks are organized by 10 occupational clusters. Each Framework consists of cluster and individual program (occupational) knowledge and skills. Each framework has six stands representing each aspect of all aspects of the industry that students are preparing to enter. Career/Vocational Technical Education Unit
