Statewide Collaborative for Special Populations
|
|
Statewide Collaborative for Special Populations Project Manager:
Alyssa Bahr Casillas
Project Purpose:
The California Community College Special Populations Collaborative
Project's goal is to improve access and performance in Career and Technical Education for students from special populations. Special population students are defined in the federal Perkins Career and Technical Education Act as "individuals with disabilities; individuals from economically disadvantaged families, including foster children; single parents, including single pregnant women; displaced homemakers; individuals with limited English proficiency; and individuals preparing for nontraditional fields." A nontraditional field is one in which fewer than 25% of the workers in that field are of the student's gender. For special population students to succeed in an age of increasing competition for employment, proactive student support services are essential.
The website highlights equity literacy principles, the 10 commitments for equity-literate educators, equity resources, and equity websites.

$164M for K12 Strong Work Force Program
|
|
At roughly the two-year mark of SWP implementation, the CRC region and those throughout the state are making a difference! We are moving the metrics and our students are benefiting from more and better career education. So much so, that the state policy makers have taken notice and Gov. Brown signed the 2018-19 budget on June 27, 2018 providing an additional funding stream that will be shepherded by the Strong Workforce regional consortia known as the K-12 Strong Workforce Program.
Please refer to the $164 million K12 Strong Workforce Program
It is a great overview of the legislative mandate and what’s ahead for our region.

Full Capacity Marketing
has been selected
to lead Regional CTE Re-branding and Marketing efforts for the CRC!
In May, an RFP for Professional Services for Regional Marketing was released to over 450 points of contact through the region and state with a June 11th deadline for submissions. Four vendor proposals were received and evaluated by the
CRC Ad-Hoc Marketing Committee. A rubric was used to evaluate the proposals based upon five vendor competencies: marketing strategy and creative development experience, campaign creative concepts, video and social media strategies, cost, and credibility and accuracy of proposal. Reviewers completed a scoring rubric for each of the vendors; an average score and ranking was then calculated from the raw scores. Based on the preliminary scoring rubric, the top three vendors were invited to make presentation and be interviewed by committee on Monday, June 25th. The committee used an additional rubric for the presentations based on their ability to address the following: example(s) of how your firm approaches a comprehensive campaign; how do you brand and connect with the diverse target audiences (students, employers, parents, counselors; socioeconomic and ethnic diversity); plan for intern integration; program management and communication styles; plan for developing and sustaining institutional capacity building; and; preferred content management web platform. Answers to clarifying questions and overall impressions were also evaluated.
After lengthy discussion, although it generally agreed upon that all three vendors could do the job, the committee reviewed the vendor rankings and weighed the strengths and weaknesses of the vendors. It was unanimously decided by the committee to select Full Capacity Marketing based upon the following that edged them in front of the others: extensive experience with CA community colleges; experience and awareness of how to target the workforce; awareness and experience with targeting counselors and parents as secondary markets; social media campaign; ability to assimilate quickly and execute project within the time frame; experience in working with interns; familiarity with the CA Community Colleges Chancellor’s Office; satisfactory execution of current CRC contract work; and extensive training experience and toolbox development.

Guided Pathways Regional Coordinator Positions
|
|
Employment Opportunity
From the Desk of
Laura Hope,
Executive Vice Chancellor of
Education Services and Support
Guided Pathways is an integration framework driving to optimize system
and college cohesion in order to advance the Vision for Success and visibly transform the student experience. The Chancellor’s Office will identify Regional Coordinators in two ways. It will either award grant funds to Chabot-Las Positas Community College District to enter consulting contracts for Regional Coordinators, or it will enter Inter-jurisdictional exchange agreements (IJEs) with an employing community college district for the services of a Regional Coordinator. These Regional Coordinators will assist colleges with the development of innovative strategies to support local Guided Pathways efforts. In addition, in collaboration with Chancellor’s Office staff, Regional Coordinators will facilitate partnering within the geographic region and across the entire state system in order to ensure the deeper penetration of best practices and the widespread sharing of field expertise.
Please send submissions and any questions about
the Guided Pathways Regional Coordinator positions to:

Dear CTE Faculty,
I hope you are enjoying a wonderful summer season! I wanted to send you all a quick note regarding a few items coming up this fall.
First, the California Community College Association for Occupational Education (CCCAOE) will be holding their Fall 2018 Conference in Rancho Mirage, CA on October 10-12
th
, 2018. This conference is an excellent opportunity to gather and build stronger relationships between CTE faculty and many CTE stakeholders.
This years Spring (2018) conference had over
125
CTE faculty in attendance.
I encourage you to begin conversations with your Dean, Workforce Development Administrators, and Academic Senate representatives, to find local or regional funding, to attend this first-class professional development opportunity.
You can find more information about the conference by visiting:
Second, I am working with the CCCAOE Executive Director to once again offer registration scholarships, for a limited number of CTE faculty.
If you are interested in consideration for a scholarship please email me at
[email protected].
Furter information regarding the scholarship will be provided in the coming weeks!
Third, the Strong Workforce Division is looking for opportunities to visit several campuses during the Fall semester to listen to the needs, concerns, and ideas from CTE Faculty. If you would be willing to host a half-day listening session at your campus, please send me your contact information and perhaps a few dates and times that work for your campus CTE faculty.
You can send that information to:
Finally, I want to remind each of you of our new CTE faculty website. This website is designed to provide our Community College CTE faculty with a single point of reference, to stay informed on a wide variety of CTE topics.
Please help us build
