Test Blueprints are Available
|
|
Additional testing blueprints are now available for most tests at the
WebXam About the Tests page. Prior to 2015-16, a different method was used whereas starting that year test blueprints were reviewed by the Subject Matter Experts at the beginning of the item-writing process and were used to determine the percentage of items written to each outcome. In both cases, however, the blueprints reflect the structure of the item bank at the strand-outcome level. Percentages on the blueprints are approximate, and do not reflect the exact percentage of items from each standard that are on the test. Blueprints are important because they allow teachers to build classroom outlines knowing the distribution of the test items to the outcomes. The WebXam support team is working on a new version of this tool and will inform the field when it is available.

Career Development Events

|
Advisers, please remember if you have any outstanding invoice with Ohio FCCLA or have not paid your affiliation invoice you will be blocked from registering for Career Development Events until the invoice(s) in question have been paid in full.
This year the fee for all Career Development Events has increased to $70.00 per event. Culinary Team will be $125 for regionals. State Culinary Team fee will be $55 per team. For chapters competing in Culinary CDE’s as well as the other CDE’s there are two sites to register. All CDE registrations will close at the end of business on December 15.
The Career Development Committee decided to suspend Straight to State events this year. All registered CDE’s must be evaluated at their specific regional location. The top ten competitors in each level in each event that score a 75 or above will become State Qualifiers. State Qualifiers will be announced no more than 10 business days after the last regional event.

Adviser Expectations with Career Development Events
|
|
Importance of Chapter Advisers serving as judges for regional, state and national CDEs. Chapter advisers are subject matter experts in both Family and Consumer Sciences, Hospitality and Tourism, Education and Training and FCCLA. As subject matter experts, they serve an important role in providing essential information about FCCLA, Family and Consumer Sciences, Hospitality and Tourism, Education and Training curriculum, and Career-Technical Education to both members and other adult volunteers. Without chapter advisers serving as event volunteers, evaluation teams may lack critical context and subject matter information that could negatively impact final scoring.
