Adopted by the New Jersey State Board of Education in November 2008, the administrative code requires provisional teachers who are holders of a career and technical education Certificate of Eligibility to complete a minimum of 200 hours of formal instruction in a state-approved career and technical education professional education program that is aligned with the Professional Standards for Teachers and that includes the essential knowledge and skills regarding the delivery of career and technical education programs The NJDOE convened a curriculum committee during the 2009-2010 school year that developed a curriculum to meet the specific educational needs of career and technical provisional teacher candidates (CTE provisional teachers). This curriculum is the basis upon which the CTEPTP pilot program was developed. Only CTE provisional teachers are enrolled in the CTEPTP pilot program, and the CTEPTP pilot program is the sole alternate route provisional teacher preparation program for CTE provisional teachers. Year 1 of the multi-year CTEPTP pilot program commenced on October 15, 2010, and ended on September 30, 2011. The final year, Year 7, will commence on October 1, 2016, and will end on September 30, 2017. In 2015, the State Board of Education adopted new regulations for alternate route teacher preparation programs to begin in the 2017-2018 School Year. Consequently, the current CTEPTP program will conclude at the end of the FY16-17 grant period. This grant opportunity is limited to Brookdale Community College (grantee), which was the successful applicant for Year 1 of this multi-year NGO. 1.1.1 MISSION AND STATE GOALS MISSION STATEMENT: It is the mission of the NJDOE, in offering this continuation NGO, to provide a quality, research-based, alternate route provisional teacher preparation program that addresses the specific needs of CTE provisional teachers in order to best prepare them for the 21st Century CTE classroom, thereby improving CTE teacher retention and, ultimately, improving CTE program performance. In support of this mission, the NJDOE developed the following five State Goals to be accomplished through Year 7 of the CTEPTP pilot program: Goal 1: Operate the CTEPTP pilot program, which addresses the unique needs of career and technical education teacher candidates (CTE teacher candidates) who have a broad range of subject matter expertise as well as diverse backgrounds in educational attainment, formal training, and employment experience. Goal 2: Evaluate CTEPTP pilot program to determine its effectiveness in preparing CTE teacher candidates to deliver CTE programs that will prepare students for college and careers. Goal 3: Increase the number of CTE provisional teachers electing to continue their postsecondary education by offering college credit options for successfully completing the CTEPTP pilot program. Goal 4: Conclude direct instruction by August 31, 2017, and conclude the CTEPTP program by September 30, 2017, including submission to the Office of Career Readiness of editable electronic (using Microsoft Office products) versions of all relevant documents and products created through the grant program. Goal 5: Measure retention rates of CTEPTP pilot program completers to determine if the retention rates meet or exceed state and national retention rates of new teachers. 1.1.2 BACKGROUND The CTEPTP pilot program was established to fulfill N.J.A.C. 6A:9-8.3(b)4 requirements for State-approved district training programs, as described in Section 1. In addition, the CTEPTP pilot program assists the NJDOE in fulfilling a goal of the Federal Carl D. Perkins Career and Technical Education Act of 2006, which requires states to establish initial teacher preparation for CTE teachers that will: Promote the integration of coherent and rigorous academic content standards and career and technical education curricula; Increase the number of teachers that meet teacher certification or licensure requirements; Increase the knowledge of academic and industry standards of CTE teachers; Encourage applied learning that contributes to the academic and career and technical knowledge of CTE students; Provide CTE teachers with the knowledge and skills needed to work with and improve instruction for special populations; and Assist CTE teachers in accessing and utilizing student data and data from assessments. In response to these requirements, the NJDOE convened a curriculum committee during the 2009-2010 school year that included district CTE alternate route teacher mentors, a math-in-CTE specialist, a language arts literacy expert, CTE teachers who completed an alternate route provisional teacher program, and college and university staff with experience in designing and delivering alternate route teacher preparation programs. The curriculum committee developed a curriculum to meet the specific educational needs of CTE provisional teachers that was approved by the NJDOE as the official curriculum for the new CTEPTP pilot program. The curriculum committee will continue its work as part of this NGO. During the 2010-2011 school year, the NJDOE issued a limited competitive NGO to establish the CTEPTP pilot program based on the new curriculum. Brookdale Community College was the successful applicant. Since the 2010-2011 grant year, the curriculum is updated annually in response to external evaluations of the CTEPTP pilot program. In addition to the curriculum committee, an advisory committee was established through the CTEPTP pilot program to provide advice to the curriculum committee, the Office of Career Readiness, and the grantee on all aspects of the CTEPTP pilot program. For the 2016-2017 grant year, all direct instruction for provisional CTE teachers enrolled in the CTEPTP pilot program must conclude no later than August 31, 2017. Therefore, the curriculum committee will be responsible for revising the curriculum to be implemented for the winter and spring cohorts to ensure completion of district instruction by August 31, 2017. All grant activities will be completed by September 30, 2017. Revisions to the interim and final report timelines reflect these changes and requirements. A final external evaluation of the CTEPTP pilot program will be conducted as part of the grant program. This evaluation will be a summative review of the CTEPTP program with recommendations for moving forward with the new two-year CTE Certificate of Eligibility Teacher Preparation Program.

Objectives should clearly illustrate the applicants plans to achieve the state goals. Objectives must be achievable and realistic, while identifying the who, what and when of the proposed project. Objectives must be results-oriented, and clearly identify what the project is intended to accomplish. When developing local objectives, the applicant is advised to ensure each objective is: Clearly written; Supports the selected state goal for which the objective was developed; Leads to the accomplishment of an expected outcome(s) for the selected state goal; Identifies a clear and reasonable timeline for implementing and completing the objective within the one-year grant period; Identifies the individual(s) responsible for implementing or coordinating the strategies and activities required to achieve the objective (the strategies and activities will be detailed in the applicant Activity Plans); and Identifies the level of performance expected to indicate successful achievement of the objective. The applicant must also include indicators of success for the local objectives. Each local objective must have at least one indicator that will demonstrate successful achievement of the objective. Well-constructed indicators of success will help establish a clear understanding of responsibilities and a system of accountability for the project. They will also help to determine whether or not to refine an aspect of the project to ensure overall success. When developing indicators of success, the applicant is advised to ensure each indicator: Describes the methods that will be used to evaluate progress toward achieving the local objective for which the indicator was developed; Identifies the individual(s) responsible for developing and conducting the evaluation; Identifies the measures and instruments to be used when conducting the evaluation (which will be included in the applicant Project Activity Plan section of the EWEG application); and Describes how results will be used to improve project outcomes. 2.2.4 Project Activity Plan The Project Activity Plan follows the goal(s) and objectives that were listed in the previous section. The Activity Plan is for the current grant period. Activities represent the steps that it will take to achieve each identified objective. Also, the activities that are identified in this section serve as the basis for the individual expenditures that are being proposed in the budget. Review the State Goals and Expected Outcomes when constructing the Project Activity Plan to ensure that appropriate links have been established between the goals and objectives and the activities. State the relevant objective in full in the space provided. Number the Goal 1 and each objective 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, etc. Describe all of the tasks and activities planned for the accomplishment of each goal and objective. List all the activities in chronological order. Space the activities appropriately across all report periods of the grant project. Identify the staff directly responsible for the implementation of the activity. If the individual conducting the activity is not referenced appropriately on the Project Activity Plan, it may not be possible to determine an allocation of the requested cost, and costs may be disallowed. List the documentation that tracks the progress and confirms the completion of each activity, such as agenda, minutes, curriculum, etc. In the Report Period Column on the Project Activity Plan, indicate with a checkmark the period in which the activity will be implemented. If the activity is ongoing or recurring, place a checkmark in the boxes under each period in which the activity will talk place. The Grant Year has three reporting periods that align with the interim and final reports. See Section 1.8 for reporting periods. Do not list the project director or other person with general oversight authority for the project as the person responsible for carrying out all activities 2.3 BUDGET DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS Once the local objectives have been established and the Project Activity Plan has been developed, the details of the budget should be designed to support the identified activities in the Project Activity Plan. An applicants budget must be well-considered, necessary for the implementation of the project, remain within the funding parameters contained in this NGO, and demonstrate prudent use of resources. The budget will be reviewed to ensure that costs are customary and reasonable for implementation of each project activity. The applicant must provide a direct link for each cost to the state goals, local objectives, and activities in the Project Activity Plan that provides programmatic support for the proposed cost. In addition, the applicant must provide documentation and details sufficient to support each proposed cost. Guidance on constructing a grant budget may be found in the Pre-award Manual for Discretionary Grants, which can be accessed at:  HYPERLINK "http://www.state.nj.us/education/grants/discretionary/apps/" www.state.nj.us/education/grants/discretionary/apps/ . The NJDOE will remove from consideration all ineligible costs, as well as costs not supported by the Project Activity Plan. The actual amount awarded will be contingent upon the applicants ability to provide support for its proposed budget upon application and ultimately will be determined by the NJDOE through the pre-award revision process. The applicants opportunity to make pre-award revisions will be limited by the NJDOE, which is not responsible either to provide repeated opportunities for revisions or to permit reallocation of the funds previously requested for costs that have not been approved or have been disallowed. 2.3.1 Budget Requirements Budget requests should be linked to local objectives and project activities in support of the State Goals and Expected Outcomes of the CTEPTP pilot program. The provisions of N.J.A.C. 6A:23A-7 contain additional requirements concerning prior approvals, as well as expenditures related to travel. It is strongly recommended that the applicant works with the colleges business administrator when constructing the budget. The NJDOE applies these restrictions uniformly to all funded agencies. Unless otherwise specified, the following restrictions apply to all grant programs: No reimbursement for in-state overnight travel (meals and/or lodging) No reimbursement for meals on in-state travel Mileage reimbursement is capped at $0.31/mile 2.3.1.1 Mandatory Costs: The following costs must be included in the applicants proposed budget: Salary and Fringe Benefits of Project Director: The grantee must assign an employee of the grantee to serve as a project director to coordinate all aspects of implementing the grant program. The percentage of time spent coordinating grant activities is to be established by the applicant. Salary and Fringe Benefits of Project Coordinator: The grantee must a hire project coordinator to coordinate all aspects of implementing the grant program. Salary and Fringe Benefits of Support Staff: The grantee may assign support staff to support the project director and/or the project coordinator in implementing the grant program. Associated salary and fringe benefits for the time spent on the grant only may be charged to the grant. Curriculum Committee Costs: The curriculum committee will meet a minimum of twice yearly and may be required to meet more frequently to revise the curriculum to accommodate the last two cohorts who will complete their instruction over the summer of 2017. The grantee will provide stipends to committee members for committee-related activities occurring during out-of-contract hours. The grantee will reimburse substitute teacher costs for school district employees serving on the committee who will participate in committee activities during the school day, as needed. Travel costs must be included as part of the stipend. Identify the stipend to be offered to committee members. External Evaluator: Costs for the grantee to hire an external evaluator to conduct the annual external evaluation and develop reports as described in Section 1.9. Online Course Management Technical Support: Costs associated with providing ongoing technical support to instructors and CTE provisional teachers on using the system. Academic Support: Costs associated with providing academic support to CTE provisional teachers, i.e., online writing support. CTEPTP pilot program website/webpage: Costs associated with updating and managing the CTEPTP pilot program webpage. Eligible Costs: The following costs may be included in the applicants proposed budget: Administrative Costs: A maximum of 10% of the total grant award may be used for administrative costs to support the grant program, including the project director and the grantees fiscal offices activities in operating the grant program. (Note: If the project director will conduct grant-related activities that are programmatic in nature, those costs will not be considered administrative.) Textbooks and Classroom Materials: Review copies of the required textbooks and classroom materials may be purchased for the project staff and curriculum committee. Consultant Costs: Consultants may be hired to support aspects of the Project Activity Plan (other than the external evaluations of the grant program, which is addressed separately). Consult the Discretionary Grant Application (DGA) document for cost limitations. Supplies: Supplies may be purchased to support the ongoing implementation of the grant program. Travel: Travel reimbursements for grant-funded staff will be $0.31/mile plus tolls and parking. Out-of-state travel requests must be submitted to the NJDOE for approval. Other: Any costs not identified above must be supported by the goals and local objectives of this NGO and approved by the NJDOE. Ineligible Costs: Costs that would normally be covered by tuition for a provisional teacher program may not be charged to the grant, including, but not limited to: Salary and benefits of CTEPTP pilot program instructors. Textbooks and other curriculum materials for the CTE provisional teachers. Classroom supplies. In-classroom rental fees. College/university fees, including normal student fees for access to the online course management system. In-state meals and overnight lodging. Other Ineligible Costs: Ineligible costs include, but are not limited to: Indirect costs. Entertainment. In reviewing this grant program application, the NJDOE may determine that certain proposed costs, though not specifically identified as ineligible, are not reasonable or appropriate under this grant program and, therefore, are not allowable. In such a case, the applicant may be asked to transfer grant funds between and among existing line items during the pre-contract revision process 2.3.2 Program Income Program income is the gross income earned by the grantee that is generated directly by a grant-supported activity or earned as a result of the grant. It includes, but is not limited to: income from fees for services performed, the use or rental of real or personal property acquired under the grant, the sale of commodities or items developed or fabricated under the grant. The grantee will generate program income as a result of implementing this grant program. Program income will be generated from tuition and fees associated with enrolling CTE provisional teacher candidates into the CTEPTP pilot program as well as offering the college credit options. The grantee must keep a separate accounting of program income generated as a result of this grant program. It is expected that such income will be used by the grantee to support the delivery of instruction during the CTEPTP pilot program.
