Student Data Collection

• Those of you who may be responsible for collecting and providing data to DESE related to CVTE programs, Innovation Pathways, and Early College programs, one of the reporting area includes course information and will require specific coding to identify any courses that are being offered to supplement or meet the student's technical course requirement for Perkins, Early College or Innovation Pathway programs.
• The web-based system used to collect this data is called, The Student Course System (SCS). The coding that DESE would like you to use to identify these specific courses in the data element of SCS is SCS14. Please share this with your designated data or analytics specialist.

Entrepreneurship Program Pathway

• The committee discussed the potential of participating in a Certificate Pathway program focused on Entrepreneurship. The program will have a soft roll out in the Fall of 2023 to gage the interest from students throughout the region.
• The committee discussed concerns related to the comprehensive secondary school guidelines which mandates that 900 hours be met in the student's trade, and whether this program would be able to supplement some of that requirement.
• The proposed timeline to fully implement this program is scheduled for the Fall of 2024.

Fall Course Line-up

• EGR 141: Introduction to Environment I
• SPA 101: Elementary Spanish I
• POR 101: Elementary Portuguese

It's that time of year again, when graduation season begins and students venture off to embark on their careers or pursue higher education opportunities. Should a student be interested in matriculating into Bristol to further their skillset within their trade, I would love to connect with them and get that process started through the awarding of any applicable articulated credits.

Below, you will find the Articulated Credit Request form for your students. Students interested in obtaining transfer credits must submit a copy of their final transcript with the form to CVTE@Bristolcc.edu. If you would like me to come in to be available to answer any questions for your senior or rising juniors, I'd be happy to make myself available.

The CVTE Implementation Committee have resumed meeting in-person. Our last meeting for the academic year will be held at BMC Durfee High School. Please keep in mind that RSVPs will be required for ALL Spring meetings, as the hosting schools will need to plan for the meeting based on participant headcount. Should you have any questions regarding the upcoming meetings, please feel free to contact Nikita at Nikita.Viera@Bristolcc.edu.
