Includes data review - student assessment, special populations, workforce data
EIEFES compiles all district data with regional information into the CLNA
Collaborates with WIOA and LLC for a joint report
Keep in mind this should be a tool to identify where the gaps are in our programs - you do not need to put everything into place right now! The goal is to work on having everything going within 3 years.
You can use your own sources of data - School report cards are great for assessment data! Title 1 grants and reports may have information on how your district is supporting access and equity for all learners. (ISBE has some technical issues where the data is not always correct in the new CTE Systems in IWAS)
Don't get hung up on the details! Just a couple of sentences is sufficient - remember your school's info is being combined with 23 other districts!
Local Needs Assessment- This step reviews student data, PDR data, economic data, and stakeholder input which allows for your district's reflection and plans for improvement in CTE Programs.
Your LNA may include feedback from teachers, administrators, special ed teachers, parents, students, businesses, etc. Various Data pieces can be found at the links below. Keep in mind that this applies to your district and you do not need to have input from all stakeholders suggested. If there are any gaps, our office will pick them up in our CLNA Report.
Student Performance Data can be collected from other reports your district may already have - the School Report Card, School Improvement Plan, your Title 1 Grant, the FCAE (Ag Education Grant), etc or the resources below.
Program Data Review (PDR) was completed in FY22 and data should be pre-populated. You can use that information for your responses.
ISBE LNA Resources are on their website HERE under CLNA Resources
PAPER REPORT: HERE are the questions asked in the Spring 2024 Local Needs Assessment. Use this to guide the information your district needs to collect.

DATA RESOURCES:
CHECK THIS OUT! EIEFES has provided answer prompts and sample responses HERE
LWIA 23 Region 7 - Labor Market Information Reports from FY2024 are found HERE. All schools are in Region 7 except for Douglas County schools who are in Region 2. Additional labor market data is posted on IL WorkNet, https://www.illinoisworknet.com/WIOA/RegPlanning
ISBE Power BI: new data tool from ISBE that provides student data regionally, by district, and by high school. Our EFE performance data is tied to these reports and we must write our grants to support the improvement of any data elements not meeting goals. You can look at the data tools here:
Perkins Measures FY21 Perkins Measures FY22 Perkins Measures FY23
Lake Land College's Institutional Research site has a variety of data elements regarding postsecondary education and the workforce. Dr. Bullock's Data for Decision Maker's report found here and LLC's 21-22 Trend Analysis Report
IL School Report Card: Use your District report card for access to special populations data and test score data to compare your district to others.
The Last Step is Completed by EIEFES
Comprehensive Local Needs Assessment: Completed by EIEFES. Our office will see all local data submitted by districts in IWAS once all schools have completed their portion. Our office will complete the CLNA as the first step to writing our state and federal grants.
All information provided by ISBE to assist with this process can be found on their website: https://www.isbe.net/Pages/Career-Technical-Education.aspx# Click on PDR Documents under the News and Updates.
This is still a new process for us too. Please be patient as we learn what is needed by ISBE to perfect our grants through this process. Feel free to contact our office with any questions or support!
Here are the current responses from the Stakeholder survey in a pdf format. As of 2/18/2020, there are 20 respondents.
The 2022 Stakeholder Survey was sent to our Regional Program Boards, Chambers of Commerce, and posted on social media. We did not collect any responses.
The Learning that Works Resource Center on the Association for Career and Technical Education website had a lot of resources to help schools and teachers with gathering information and supporting CTE in your schools. Check out this site here: https://careertech.org/resources/about-resource-center
