Career and Technical Administrator: Read carefully and thoroughly each Business/Industry Certification (BIC) standard and its quality factors. BIC documents may be downloaded from alsde.edu, click on Department Offices, click on Division of Career and Technical Education-Workforce Development, scroll down and click on Business/Industry Certification. In addition, review the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) at the same Website location.

Lesson plans for new teachers and new course offerings must be available to the current date plus an additional two weeks. Career and Technical Administrators should review teacher’s documentation for each quality factor prior to scheduled review.

|TEAM MEMBER INFORMATION |

|Your role as a team member is to thoroughly review the program. The purpose of BIC is two-fold, to validate that CTE programs across the state meet business and industry standards and comply with |

|federal and state requirements, and to improve CTE programs so that students leave our programs equipped with knowledge and skills for success in the workplace. |

| |

|The process will be to review the notebook documentation in a central location; go to the location where the program is housed and tour the facilities; interview the counselor; and regroup to discuss the|

|findings and make recommendations for certification during the exit conference. |
