Annual Performance Report (APR)
A consortium report of data, fiscal, and continuous improvement outcomes for the prior fiscal year Perkins annual application.
Articulated College Credit
Also known as: Articulated High School to College Credit.
The process of coordinating two or more educational systems to help a student transition smoothly from secondary to postsecondary without experiencing delays, duplication of courses or loss of credit. Horizontal articulation generally refers to learner transfer of credit from one program to another within one institution or from one institution to another of the same level (e.g. college to another college). Vertical articulation refers to the transfer of credit from a lower-level institution (high school or associate degree program) to a higher-level one.
Articulation Agreement
A written, signed commitment that is agreed upon at the state level or approved annually by lead administrators of a secondary institution and a postsecondary educational institution; or a sub-baccalaureate degree granting postsecondary educational institution and a baccalaureate degree-granting postsecondary educational institution. Agreement must include a program of study that is designed to provide learners with a non-duplicative sequence of progressive achievement leading to technical skill proficiency, a credential, a certificate, or a degree; and utilizes credit transfer agreements between the institutions described above. [Perkins V]
Associate of Applied Science (AAS)
See also: CTE Awards.
Degree offered at community and technical colleges that is designed for immediate entry into the workplace and may have more limited transferability than other Associate Degrees. AAS degree programs are not designed for transfer to baccalaureate degree majors. Program examples: accounting, computer networking, or welding.
Associate of Science (AS)
See also: CTE Awards.
Community college degrees designed to transfer into a specific four-year degree major at partnering universities through articulation agreements. Examples of majors: math, biology, chemistry or physics.
Basic Grant
See also: Perkins Local Application. The amount of Perkins funding each consortium is awarded each fiscal year after submitting their Local Application. Calculations for the Basic Grant are based on specific attributes of the secondary and postsecondary constituents. Consortia may receive additional funding through reallocated funds or leadership funds.
Brokering of Services
Also known as: Continuum of Services for Learners. See also: Continuum of Service Provision (CSP). This is described as the act of a consortium collaborating with other consortia, as needed, to assist learners in locating Programs of Study that meet their career interests and aspirations. Also, actions taken to assist learners in locating appropriate preparatory courses or learning activities not available locally to prepare for a Program of Study
Career and College Readiness
For purposes of statewide accountability, career and college readiness means a high school graduate has the knowledge, skills, and competencies to successfully pursue a career pathway, including postsecondary credit leading to a degree, diploma, certificate, or industry-recognized credential and employment. Students who are career and college ready are able to successfully complete credit-bearing coursework at a two- or four-year college or university or other credit- bearing postsecondary program without need for remediation. [Minnesota Statute 120B.30, subdivision 1(p)].
(B) include competency-based, work-based, or other applied learning that supports the development of academic knowledge, higher-order reasoning and problem-solving skills, work attitudes, employability skills, technical skills, and occupation-specific skills, and knowledge of all aspects of an industry, including entrepreneurship, of an individual;
(C) to the extent practicable, coordinate between secondary and postsecondary education programs through programs of study, which may include coordination through articulation agreements, early college high school programs, dual or concurrent enrollment program opportunities, or other credit transfer agreements that provide postsecondary credit or advanced standing; and
(D) may include career exploration at the high school level or as early as the middle grades (as such term is defined in section 8108 of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965). [Perkins V]
Career and Technical Student Organization (CTSO)
A high school or college student leadership organization, recognized under M.S. 124D.355 or Minnesota State Board Policy as a CTSO, and considered co-curricular in nature, that engages in activities integral to student success in Career and Technical Education programs.
Career Clusters
See also: Career Cluster Framework; Career Fields; Career Pathways. A grouping of occupations and broad industries into a national classification of 17 clusters that are based upon common knowledge and skills. Career clusters include hundreds of occupations that may be grouped into pathways around which secondary and postsecondary educational Programs of Study can be built.
Career Exploration
Activities designed to provide individuals exposure to career options. May include reviewing career opportunities in particular fields or pathways, identifying specific careers to potentially prepare for and pursue, writing individual/ personalized learning plans that align with career areas or programs of study offered at the middle and high school level, using local labor market information to make short- and longterm career plans, and work-based learning.
Career Fields
See also: Career Clusters; Career Cluster Framework; Career Pathways. Six broad groupings of occupations that can be subdivided into 17 career clusters and numerous career pathways as part of the Minnesota Career Fields, Clusters, and Pathways framework.
Cooperative Education
A method of education for individuals who, through written arrangements between a school and employers, receive instruction, including required rigorous academic courses and related Career and Technical Education instruction. The arrangement allows for alternation of study in school with a job in a related occupational field. Alternation:
Coordination
Activities conducted by CTE consortium leadership to carry out the goals for the purposes of staffing or directing local consortium activities associated with the application. Coordination may include organization and operation of professional development experiences, leadership and operation of activities associated with program development and expansion, development and implementation of Programs of Study, activities associated with coordinating work supported by Perkins funds with activities supported by other (state or local) resources, and activities associated with developing and sustaining the consortium. In Minnesota, coordination activities are not included among those activities held to the 5 percent administrative cap, but should be included in the application narrative where appropriate. This definition does not apply to coordination of student activities as a teacher/faculty/coordinator or student organization advisor.
Core Competencies
See also: Employability Skills. Areas of personal capability that enable an individual to successfully perform standard tasks or prove understanding of a subject area. Competencies can be knowledge, skills, attitudes, values, or personal characteristics deemed necessary in that subject matter or career cluster. (Source: CAREERwise)

Opportunities to demonstrate college and university-level learning gained in non-credit or experiential settings. Experiences are evaluated by faculty or vetted third-party to determine relevance and equivalencies to academic credit.
CTE Articulated High School to College Credit
See also: Articulated College Credit; Concurrent Enrollment. Credit that is a part of a course articulation agreement between high schools, colleges, or universities, and provides credit for college-level course work completed in high school.
