PART I: CURRENT SCHOOL STATUS
SCHOOL PROFILE/DEMOGRAPHICS
Brief History and Background of the School
Lindsey Hopkins Technical Education Center (LHTEC), the first career and technical school established in Miami, Florida, was founded in 1937 as Northside Technical School at 1410 N. E. 2nd Avenue with an initial enrollment of 400 students. Lindsey Hopkins was relocated to its present site in January 1983 and is centrally located in the heart of Miami at 750 N.W. 20th Street. The center encompasses seven (7) interconnected, multi-level buildings that house 380,000 square feet of learning/office facilities.
Unique School Strengths for Next Year
Students primarily enroll in Lindsey Hopkins due to three reasons: excellent and nationally accredited programs, such as the school’s accreditation by the National League for Nursing (NLN), the National Automotive Technicians Education Foundation, Inc. (NATEF), and the overall programmatic accreditation by the Council on Occupational Education (COE); numerous financial aid assistance opportunities for students, such as Pell Grant, Florida Student Assistance Grant (FSAG), and District Financial Assistance Program (DFAP) or Fee Waiver; and transitions from career/technical programs to higher learning through articulation agreements with local institutions, such as Miami-Dade College.
Lindsey Hopkins has affordable tuition and is easily accessed by public transportation. The school has a five-story parking garage that provides free parking to all students, faculty and staff.
Unique School Weaknesses for Next Year
Lindsey Hopkins has faced major budget cuts in excess of $3,000,000 so far and expects to experience an additional $100,000 loss for the 2009-2010 school year. To address this financial problem, adjustments have been made in staffing with teachers having increased class size and split schedules (morning and evening hours to make a full load). There has been a reduction in programs/course offerings. Budget cuts may jeopardize the school’s ability to create new programs.
Student Demographics
Lindsey Hopkins faces the operational challenges of an urban city school, such as language barriers, at risk students, non-traditional families, low socio-economic backgrounds, and special needs students. Lindsey Hopkins’ goal is to recruit students, retain those students, and ensure that those students complete programs and ultimately are placed in jobs.
The majority of Lindsey Hopkins' adult student population has minimal basic skills in English or their native language and is economically disadvantaged. Lindsey Hopkins has a large immigrant student population. The largest student group is of Haitian descent. The multi-cultural, multi-ethnic student body is made up of 6,304 students, 3,199 of which are female and 3,105 are male. Of these, 58% are Black, 39% are Hispanic, 2% are White, and 1% are American Indian, Asian, or multi-racial.

Postsecondary Transition
Note: Required for High School- Sec. 1008.37(4), F.S.
Lindsey Hopkins’ student services personnel attend job fairs, where community agencies, churches and other schools are present, and provide information about the different career/technical programs offered.
Guidance counselors receive invitations from other counselors and career specialists to attend career fairs. At these events, school representatives talk to target groups of students about career/technical programs and inform them they may transition to Lindsey Hopkins to meet their educational/training needs.
Lindsey Hopkins also provides the opportunity for Exceptional Student Education (ESE) students from 12 area high schools* to attend career and technical classes through a dual enrollment program. Recruiting for this program is on-going, and student applications from both the general and special education populations are accepted. Once the students are enrolled, attendance and academic performance records are closely monitored, and frequent individual conferences are held in order to assure a smooth transition from the high school to the post-secondary school environment. In addition to providing appropriate and marketable career and technical training to high school students, the Lindsey Hopkins Dual Enrollment Program prepares these students to enter post-secondary institutions as mature and focused young adults.

Data from the Literacy Completion Point (LCP) Summary Report in Data in Your Hands (DIYH) indicated a twenty-eight percent LCP achievement rate for the 2008-2009 school year by our English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) students. This represents an increase of eighteen percent over the stated goal of ten percent.
|
Given a course of instruction utilizing the Florida Department of Education Adult ESOL Course Standards, ten percent (10%) of the students enrolled through the end of the reporting period in English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) classes will improve their English literacy skills at least one level as evidenced by student pre and post test scores on the Comprehensive Adult Student Assessment System (CASAS). Student growth will be measured by documenting the number of Literacy Completion Points (LCPs) at the end of the 2009-2010 school year.

Objective Linked to Area of Improvement |
|
There is a need for a positive correlation between the number of students who remain active in career/technical programs through the school year and the number of Occupational Completion Points achieved. Data from the Occupational Completion Point (OCP) Summary Report in Data in Your Hands (DIYH) indicated that our career/technical students achieved 1377 OCPs during the 2008-2009 school year, which represents a 25% decrease compared to the 1840 OCPs achieved in the 2007-2008 school year.
|
Given the emphasis on documenting accurate student attendance and performance records at the post-secondary level, 10% of students enrolled in career/technical education programs during the school year will average one OCP gain as documented by the OCP Summary Report in Data in Your Hands (DIYH) and/or Final Class Reports.
