functions of the Department; (2) will 

this information be processed and used 

in a timely manner; (3) is the estimate

Abstract: The 2011 National 

Assessment of Career and Technical 

Education (NACTE) will examine the 

implementation of the Carl D. Perkins 

Career and Technical Education Act of 

2006 (Perkins IV). This evaluation 

study, which is part of a larger 

evaluation effort directed by the Policy 

and Program Studies Service (PPSS), 

focuses on evaluating how state 

agencies and local providers are 

responding to the new legislation and 

how new provisions contained within 

the legislation are being implemented. 

Information collected from the NACTE 

study will be incorporated in two 

reports submitted to Congress: An 

interim report (due January 1, 2010) and 

final report (due July 1, 2011), which are 

mandated in the legislation. These 

reports are to detail the condition of 

CTE and the success of state agencies 

and local programs in improving the 

quality of CTE services. To capture state 

agency staff and local provider input 

about the Act’s implementation, 

researchers will administer surveys to 

the state secondary and postsecondary 

director of CTE in each of the 50 states, 

the District of Columbia, and other 

territories and possessions in outlying 

areas. A second set of surveys will be 

administered to a nationally 

representative sample of 1,265 

secondary level local education agencies 

and/or intermediary agencies (i.e., 

dedicated CTE facilities) and 765 

institutions of higher education. To 

assess the distribution of Federal 

resources to local programs, researchers 

will collect 2006–07 and 2009–10 fiscal 

allocation data from state secondary and 

postsecondary agencies administering 

Federal Perkins dollars.
