We are proud to announce that MJC’s Career & Technical Education programs started off with a bang for the 2011-12 year! We started with our CTE Proposal meeting in September and were able to fund an additional $180,000 on much needed proposals for CTE program improve-ment. The proposal meeting is very rewarding as deans submitting their proposals must meet all criteria: brief description; how the request addresses the Local Plan; what Core Indicators are ad-dressed; Advisory Team input; how this will assist them in meeting current programmatic needs or in new program development; what impact it will have on meeting the MJC strategic goals; antici-pated outcomes assessment plan; and feasibility of project completion. Not only do we all learn about each other’s program needs, updates, improvements and the latest technology for each ar-ea, but its quite rewarding seeing the deans support each other’s programs, even at the expense of having some of their own proposals unfunded! It’s a time where we come together and fully support all of MJC’s vocational programs and each other! Check out the website to see all the proposals granted! We are very excited to announce there is a new ‘check box’ added to our CTE student survey for Veteran’s and/or Veteran spouses (if qualified) that brings more funding to our CTE stu-dents, as Veterans are now identified as special populations! PLEASE announce this to your stu-dents and most of all, GOD BLESS OUR TROOPS! Deans and CTE Faculty, we need your help! We need you to take a moment and inform your students what the CTE survey is all about! Please let them know the information they fill out is strictly confidential! It’s entered into Datatel, sent to the State Chancellors office and destroyed! The answers to those questions are the determining factor in receiving CTE funds or not. We are receiving more and more surveys with the box checked that they’ve already filled out the survey, so they leave the questions blank; yet there is no information for them in our system, so those surveys = $0 in CTE funding. REMEMBER—each qualifying survey is approximately $150 in CTE funds for your program’s students! (cont. on back page)

Career & Technica l Educat ion 1st Quarter Report

A fire academy student is climbing a 24 foot extension ladder with a 100 foot bundle of hose( called a high raise pak). The student on the base is footing the ladder for safety.

In Knight’s Ferry,

academy students

are training for

wi ld land f i re-

fighting. They will

pull over 1000 feet

of fire hose over

the hill at least 4

times. This is one

of the 3 different

drills for that one

day!

This stu-

dent is ad-

vancing the

attack line

into one of

our 2 burn

rooms. The

student

must be

within 3 feet

of the fire to

put it out.

This student is preparing to enter the 2nd floor window. The other stu-dent that is wearing Person-nel Protective E q u i p m e n t (PPE) will be advancing a larger hose line up the ladder and into the same window.

In Child Development there is a continued and immediate demand in Stanislaus County for teachers, mid-management directors, and administrators of children‟s programs, espe-cially in the federal-funded Head Start programs, to be educated in the program plan-ning, care and nurturing of infants and toddlers. Early Head Start, the program that serves pregnant mothers and children from birth to 36 months, is growing rapidly in our area and employees are federally-mandated to have at least six (6) units in infant and toddler coursework.

The Child Development In-structional program at MJC has diligently worked to meet this need for many years. With the approval of $31,600 from CTE to support the crea-tion of an On-Campus Infant/Toddler Instructional Laborato-ry, the Modesto Junior College Child Development Depart-ment will be able to continue meeting this demand. The On-Campus Infant/Toddler In-structional Laboratory will pro-vide students with experiential learning to support their suc-cess in working with children under the age of 36 months. This project will impact child development career options

and the work experience of future infant and toddler teachers. It will also assist the community in expanding the num-ber of directors, administrators, and teachers with specialized skills, experi-ence, and knowledge to work and ad-vocate for the specific needs of children under 36 months. It will allow parents the opportunity to gain skills and knowledge about their infants or tod-dlers as well. The Interior Design program used CTE funds for student workers and an ad-ministrative technician to support the program, to assure student success.

New hospital beds for student use in the new Allied Health building.

In the Registered Nursing program, CTE funds paid for an annual fees/membership that provides updated nurse related infor-mation and for the future accred-itation process that is forthcom-ing.

In Respiratory Care, they were able to purchase supplies to begin the process of graduat-ing approximately 20 students at the end of the Fall 2011 term. They are very proud of their students that have suc-ceeded in their goals for com-pleting the 2 year program and look forward to launching them into this very important field!

In Medical Assisting, they have designated CTE funds to be used for tutoring and mentoring their medical as-sisting students.

MJC Computer Graphics students have been making

good use of the software upgrades made possible

through CTE funding. In spring of 2011, the Advanced

Photoshop students mounted an exhibition in a local

gallery called “The Digital Eye” that included 30 pieces

of work digitally composited and manipulated using

functions learned in the new software. The Computer

Graphics lab housing our new software is heavily used

by students and is an area where they can collaborate

on projects, work directly with instructors, and explore

techniques in an active, creative environment.

The MJC Computer Graphics department is actively

involved with many area high schools developing artic-

ulation relationships with their programs. Graduating

high school students can then have an opportunity to

enter MJC with a head start on their major or certifi-

cate.

Instructional aides were provided to tech-

nology labs to support the business admin-

istration and office administration lab and

the computer science and computer

graphics lab. The aides work individually

with students to assist them with class as-

signments.

A classroom copier contract was supported

through CTE money. The copier is used as

a training tool for the students in the office

administration area.

Two student workers were paid to support

instruction in the Office Administration Cen-

ter due to their losing an Instructional Assis-

tant I position for this budget year.

The new Painter

dents to use state-

twelfth week of the se-

mester depending on the

course and its require-

ments. The “open exit”

designation means that

when students complete

each course they are

finished and no longer

need continue coming to

the Center. This “finish”

date can be any time

during the course of the

semester. Students take

the courses as an office

administration or clerical

major and, also, to gain

experience in the course

topics to enhance their

other MJC coursework.

The Office Administration Center provides over 20 sections

of office administration courses in the areas of keyboarding,

software applications, and other office-related skills for MJC

students. It is an open entry/open exit system. The “open

(cont. from page 1) Over the summer, we had the opportunity to meet with Shawna Dean, District Research & Planning

Director and MIS wizard and spent quite some time educating deans and faculty on the CTE survey process; how the

data is collected and reported; important Perkins cohort definitions and methodology; and stressed the importance of

assuring our SAM Codes are correct for all classes. We pull the list of classes to survey from the SAM Code listing so if

those classes are coded wrong we could be missing many students, therefore receiving less funds than possible. Deans!

Please take the time to study your courses and correct your course SAM coding if necessary.

Wishing you all a wonderful and safe holiday season,

CTE Across Programs In Disability Services, CTE

funds were instrumental in

maintaining and strengthening

the delivery of services to stu-

dents with disabilities. The

funds were used to develop

alternative media materials for

students enrolled in CTE cours-

es, provide educational and

personal counseling, and testing

accommodations. Staff re-

viewed previous, but recent,

assessments in order to devel-

op proper Student Educational

Contracts that correlated with their Ed Plan and career interests/goals. CTE funds were crucial during the months of August and September, particularly in screening LD students, de-veloping the SECs, and providing alter-native media services.

CTE funds continued to

provide comprehensive guidance in Counseling ; provided Career Aware-ness courses which

include career assessments;

provided job placement op-

portunities; and held their

annual job faire on 9/28/11.

In the Library, CTE funds

paid for computer lab assis-

tants to assist our CTE stu-

dents doing vocational re-

search and on writing assign-

ments.
