Perkins V - Equity Lab/CLNA Workshop West Region - November 15, 2023
The Ohio Career-Technical Education Equity Labs will be an in-person workshop that aims to guide secondary and post-secondary Perkins-recipients on a journey of continuous improvement through an equity lens. In the morning, teams will be guided through a case-study scenario featuring a fictional secondary comprehensive district and one high school in the district. Teams will role-play stakeholder engagement meetings and do a deep-dive into using qualitative and quantitative data in efforts to uncover the root causes of disproportionalities. Teams will be guided to make a plan for the school to continuously improve by implementing equitable supports and removing barriers for all students to access career-technical education.
After lunch, teams will choose either a secondary Quality Program Review scenario or a Comprehensive Local Needs Assessment scenario. This will be followed by a team planning session.
