The Carl D. Perkins Career and Technical Education Act (Perkins Act) is the primary federal law aimed at developing and supporting career and technical education (CTE) programs for secondary and postsecondary students. In the 109th Congress, the Perkins Act was reauthorized by the Carl D. Perkins Career and Technical Education Improvement Act of 2006 (Perkins IV; P.L. 109-270). The Perkins Act was most recently amended in the 115th Congress by the Strengthening Career and Technical Education for the 21st Century Act (Perkins V; P.L. 115-224). Perkins V was signed into law by President Trump in July 2018 and went into effect on July 1, 2019. The purpose of the act is to develop more fully the academic knowledge and technical and employability skills of secondary and postsecondary students who elect to enroll in CTE programs. This report provides an overview of Perkins V, including its design, implementation, and funding as described in statute. After a brief introduction to CTE, the report is divided into sections that focus on a detailed description of the Basic State Grants (BSG), discuss National Activities and other programs under Title I, and summarize additional provisions under Title II. A final section summarizes Perkins V authorizations and appropriations. The appendices provide a brief history of federal involvement in CTE as well as formulas and allocations for the BSG.

Moreover, the expectations of the students showed that student-respondents had expectations relating to improving themselves, learning new things from foreign instructors, cultural and international experience, the personality of the instructors, and self-expression. In conclusion, the findings of this study provide a basis for improving the quality of delivering instruction for the virtual faculty exchange program.
Florida Must Be Concerned about Its Institutions of Higher Education. Inside Accreditation
Author: Jackson-Hammond, Cynthia
Date: 2022-06-00
Type: Reports - Descriptive
Subjects: Educational Legislation,State Legislation,Higher Education,Accreditation (Institutions),State Schools

Recent Florida legislation (SPB 7044) should be viewed with much concern and with skepticism as to the intent of the bill and its unintended consequences. The bill requires state colleges and universities to seek reaffirmation from different accrediting organizations at the end of each review cycle. The Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA) and the U.S. Department of Education have expressed concerns to the Florida legislature and identified major problems that could result from this type of action. The SPB 7044 bill has unintended consequences for Florida higher education and undermines the purpose of accreditation and the guarantee that Florida students, parents and families are receiving quality academic experiences provided by quality Florida institutions.

The present study aimed at investigating the effect of an e-mentoring model on developing EFL student teachers' self-efficacy and emotional intelligence. The study adopted the pre-experimental one group pre-post administration design. Study was applied to a voluntary group (N = 19) from third year, English Language Department (basic education), Faculty of Education, Ain Shams University during their practicum in three different public schools. The following instruments were used in the study: semi-structured interview questions, Teacher's Sense of Efficacy Scale (long form), Trait Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire (short form), and a teaching performance observation checklist. The sessions of the e-mentoring model were developed with mentee's booklet and mentor's guide. The e-mentoring model was administered to participants in a ten-week practicum block. Paired Samples Wilcoxon Test was used to compare the mean scores of the study participants before and after the administration of the e-mentoring model. Also, Fritz, Morris and Richer's equation was used to measure the effect size of the e-mentoring model. Results of the study revealed that the e-mentoring model was effective in developing pre-service teachers' self-efficacy and emotional intelligence. Eventually, recommendations and suggestions for further research were presented.

Communication, the flow of ideas and information between individuals in a social context, is the heart of educational experience. Constructivism and constructivist theories form the foundation for the collaborative learning processes of creating and sharing meaning in online educational contexts. The Learning and Collaboration in Technology-enhanced Contexts (LeCoTec) course comprised of 66 participants drawn from four European universities (Oulu, Turku, Ghent and Ramon Llull). These participants were split into 15 groups with the express aim of learning about computer-supported collaborative learning (CSCL). The Community of Inquiry model (social, cognitive and teaching presences) provided the content and tools for learning and researching the collaborative interactions in this environment. The sampled comments from the collaborative phase were collected and analyzed at chain-level and group-level, with the aim of identifying the various message types that sustained high learning outcomes. Furthermore, the Social Network Analysis helped to view the density of whole group interactions, as well as the popular and active members within the highly collaborating groups. It was observed that long chains occur in groups having high quality outcomes. These chains were also characterized by Social, Interactivity, Administrative and Content comment-types. In addition, high outcomes were realized from the high interactive cases and high-density groups. In low interactive groups, commenting patterned around the one or two central group members. In conclusion, future online environments should support high-order learning and develop greater metacognition and self-regulation. Moreover, such an environment, with a wide variety of problem solving tools, would enhance interactivity.
