What do you already know about the local planning system (LPS)? I know that it is an accountability requirement. Our LPS helps to drive our CTE programs and keeps us focused on our goals. Our LPS should be directly related to our budget. Our goals and strategies should be specific. The LPS is a living document of sorts. We are constantly visiting it and revising based on the economic development needs/ job market of the community we serve. I actually like the LPS, which may be unique in CTE or it could be that I am such a Newbie that I have not had time to dread it... :>)
What do you hope to learn about the LPS? I suppose I would like to know more about the timeline associated with the LPS and the logic behind it. There are windows for revisions etc..
I know that the LPS is the CTE strategic plan and is the goal setting, plan of action, and decision model document. Like Jamie said, it is a living document. I hope to learn a lot more than what I know about the LPS. Proper word phrasing in the strategic plan language is not my strong point.
I am familiar with the manipulation and navigation within the LPS system. As others have previously stated, I understand the premise behind having and utilizing the LPS on a consistent basis. I appreciate that CTE has this accountability plan that can be shared with administrators and teachers as stakeholders in our program. I am interested in learning more about what are effective strategies. I would like to understand the approval process of the plan. I am curious as to how other districts strategically utilize this plan. For example-Do they have a LPS committee?
The LPS is used to develop strategies to meet the requirements of the Carl Perkins Act. Stakeholders are identified and strategies are developed to increase student performance through effect curriculum instruction. Like Amy, I want to know how other districts utilize the plan, do they have teacher buy-in. I feel that sometimes it is developed from the top-down and I want my teachers to have a sense of ownership.
Based on my understanding of The Local Planning System (LPS), it is a document, based on various types of data collected pertaining to the respective LEA and its region, that ensures CTE will provide students the necessary skills and training needed to be productive in today's economy. This living document will serve as a guide for instructional delivery, assessments, and implementation of specific technology that will enhance student learning.
Because my understanding of the LPS is limited, I hope to gain a better understanding of how to effectively develop this plan and how to best monitor it throughout the year.
I agree with Tena! Too often the CTE teachers are not even aware of what is in the LPS for their LEA. Though I understand why it may be created from the top down, I also believe it should be shared and understood by those meeting what is written in it. I have had limited access to assisting an LPS update at one point, but haven't had experience writing an LPS. I hope to learn how to write effective strategies that align with the needs of the students in my LEA and support the goals of my LEA and Perkins.
The Local Planning System is an accountability tool and a strategic planning instrument for the local CTE programs. I don't have any experience using the LPS from an administrative perspective and I look forward to learning more about it. I have contributed to the development of our strategic plan, but my understanding of the requirements of the plan and how it is approved is minimal at best.
I understand that the LPS is the instrument used to maintain and manage the local plan. Coming from another state that does not have an online planning system, I am impressed with the format. I am interested in learning how to make my plan a living, working document that will be used by our school district to improve CTE programs in Warren County.
I understand that the LPS is an accountability tool as well as a tool to help grow the students, LEA and benefit the community as a whole. Otherwise I am limited in my knowledge. I am looking forward to learning about this tool.
Mary FInley - I know that the LPS system is a planning tool for CTE. I have helped write strategies before but I have never had hands on experience with editing/inputting data in online. I want to know more about why it is required each year. I look forward to learning more about it and using it with the CTE staff in my district.
I know that the local planning system is a very important accountability tool within the CTE program area. I have no experience at all at this point in regard to accessing or utilizing the system but I am very eager to learn more about it and how it can be used to enhance the CTE programs in the district.
LPS is a way to identify strengths and weaknesses in the CTE program. It allows the LEA to plan strategic approaches to CTE areas that may need improvement. By breaking data into subgroups such as program areas, special populations, completers, graduates, non-traditional, etc, it goes much deeper than the most known VoCATS proficient/non-proficient shell. Therefore, allowing targets to be identified, goals to be set, and outcomes to be measured. ---- It also meets the requirements for Perkin's funding!
I hope to learn more about what defines each subgroup.
Traci Lytle--The LPS is the LEA's CTE strategic plan. It has five sections designed to allow the LEA to plan what to do to better our performance. It is tied to Perkins IV. I know what is in it because I have helped my director with some of the writing before. I am not currently a director, so that is about my limit in the development stage. I do like what someone said about it being a living document. I also agree that teachers probably don't know what's in it . . . and should. And, it's very long! Maybe our class can come up with a way to say more with less!
I hope to learn more about the entire process. I need it!
I understand the LPS to be an accountability and planning tool for each LEA. The LPS assists in identifying areas of strengths and weaknesses in the LEA's performance by subgroups and program areas. In my LEA, the CTE teachers are involved in analyzing the data and creating strategies, but my experience is limited beyond that.
I look forward to learning more about the creating and implementing the local plan.
I understand that the LPS drives the CTE program just as the CIP (Continuous Improvement Plan) guides the whole school program. As a former principal, I have worked closely with CIP teams to create the school improvement plans; however, I have little experience in writing plans for CTE. As with the CIP, I would definitely include all stakeholders in the creation of the CTE document if I expect teachers to take ownership. With time restraints and other conflicts, I realize it is "easier said than done," but I will certainly try.
It's been wonderful reading everyones thoughts about the LPS. After Eric Leazer's visit yesterday, I know that the strategies in the LPS for Richmond County are not written correctly and will require teacher input to make the document a worthwhile plan. I hope to learn strategies for writing good, quality strategies.
I know just enough about LPS to mess up trying to explain it to someone else. I really just learned last week that our LPS included 3 pages of strageties that CDC's are responsible for but never had access to the plan, until now since we have a new director. I know the LPS drives CTE and I want to be able to understand it and write strategies.
I know that the LPS is my CTE strategic plan as it pertains to my district. I have logged and read a few items. But I will definitely need to investigate in detail each component and hear more about it to be able to successful write one for my district.
I know that the LPS is the CTE strategic plan and that we have to write strategies for our areas that we do not meet our attainment goals on. Also, I know that the budject needs to align with what we include in our plan so that our needs for improvment are covered. I have been involved in writing strategies for many of the attainment areas that my school/district did not meet the attainment goal on. I would love to learn how better to write strategies and how to best make sure they align with the budget etc.
