Training Requirements and
Career and Technical Education (CTE) Funding Criteria for Applied Academics
2005-2006
Applied Math/OSPI
Recommendations for Initial and Continuing
Applied Math Certification
Requirements For
Applied Math Career &
Technical Funding
1. Initial Training: A teacher must have successfully completed the Initial
Training (offered each summer by the Washington Applied Math Council) and the
Fall & Spring In-services (offered during the year following participation
in the Initial Training) to be certified. The Fall and Spring in-services are
offered in collaboration with OSPI. (The certification remains solely with the
teacher and not the school or district.)
2. Fall & Spring Inservice Participation: A teacher must be given time to
attend both the Fall and Spring one day in-services provided by the Washington
Applied Math Council. (These
in-services are offered currently at the ESD 113 in Olympia for the West Side and Spokane Community College for
the East Side.) Carl Perkins and CTE state funds may be
used to pay for teacher’s expenses.
3. Continued Funding Requirements: After participation in the Initial and Spring/Fall training,
a teacher must attend either a WAMC/OSPI Summer Conference Training at least once every five years or accumulate a total of forty clock
hours by attending the Fall/Spring one day in-services over a five year period
to acquire continued certification. (Summer Training must occur within a
two-year period prior to CTE re-certification.) Additionally the teacher must meet the minimum
requirements/ expectations as determined by the Washington Applied Math Council
to meet the CTE Funding Requirements.
This will ensure that all Applied Math certified teachers are aligned
with the WASL mathematics testing, have updated curriculum that is aligned with
the EALRs, and be aware of other changes in the requirements. Carl Perkins and
CTE state funds may be used to pay for teacher’s expenses.
4. Proof of Certification: The
district must provide OSPI/WAMC with the name, current school address,
telephone number (home and work), and e-mail address for all teachers receiving
funding for Applied Math prior to the start of the school year. Districts must also provide a copy of a valid vocational teaching certificate (CTE
Certificate number). Career
& Technical Education Funding will stop unless the teacher training
requirements are up-to-date.
5. Number
of Classes Allowed: Up to three Initial Applied Math
classes and one advanced Applied Math class may receive CTE enhanced funding at
a ratio of 3 to 1 per school building. Unlimited classes may be funded with
approval
from OSPI and the WAMC State Coordinator.
(Ex.: 4 -1st
year (Initial); 1- 2nd year (Advanced); 1 – 3rd
year (Advanced).) Classes
must align with the Framework for the GLE’s for Applied Math. For a school to receive funding for Advanced Applied Math
classes the teacher must have Advanced Certification. (Obtainable by one additional Summer Conference.) (For information concerning compliance
