February is CTE Month in Alaska!

2/12/2016

Governor Bill Walker has proclaimed February as CTE Month in Alaska!  Thanks go out to the Alaska Association for Career & Technical Education (Alaska ACTE)  for requesting this proclamation.

Click here or on the image for a PDF copy of the proclamation, or to read the full text on the state website, please visit the Press Room on the Governor's web page.

To celebrate, we thought we'd share an article from the U.S. Department of Education entitled "Let's Commit to Giving CTE Students the Opportunity They Demand and Deserve." It's a rousing call to action that cites great examples of how organizations are already working together toward the common goal of career readiness.

Let us know how you are contributing to the success of CTE  this month, and for more information about CTE and CTE Month in Alaska, visit our Get Involved! webpage.

State of Alaska Education & Early Development Title IIB Math & Science Partnership Professional Development Grant RFP Now Available

2/11/2016

 
A new grant opportunity for Alaskan educators is available via the State of Alaska Department of Education & Early Development Title IIB Math & Science Partnership.  This grant is for teacher/administrator professional development only, and will focus on the interface between Math, Science, and Career and Technical Education.  Projects will prepare Alaskan teachers and building administrators to develop strategies, units, and ways of thinking that incorporate CTE principles into STEM coursework, and STEM principles into CTE classes to further Career and College Readiness. 

Only eligible partnerships may apply for this grant.  An eligible partnership includes:
  • A high-needs Local Education  Agency (LEA) as defined on page 4 of the RFP document; full list of qualifying LEAs in Appendix A, page 11
  • A post-secondary institution (representative of the department of math and/or science)
  • May also include non-high-needs LEAs, post-secondary departments of education, non-profits, or businesses; however, these are not required. 
Total funding for the program is $700,000 for FY17.  EED expects to make 2-3 grant awards of $200,000 to $250,000 each.  Grants are funded for one year (FY17), with the possibility of a second-year of no-cost extension should a grant have carryover funds (FY18).  Continued funding of the grant for further years may be possible pending the availability of federal funding.  Awards will be made solely on merit and the responsiveness of the proposed activities to grant objectives. The fiscal agent for the grant must be an LEA in the state of Alaska.  (This may be either the high-needs LEA or a non-high-needs LEA partner.) All projects must include an evaluation and accountability system designed to measure participant knowledge and skill acquisition via standardized pre-/post-tests.  

An informational webinar about the RFP will be hosted via WebEx on March 8th from 3:00-4:00 PM.  To download the RFP, visit the State of Alaska Department of Education & Early Development's website. For questions or more information, please contact Bjorn Wolter, program administrator.
