Time: 12 p.m. to 1 p.m.
Description: The AEBG Office is rolling out a statewide campaign to educate policymakers about the importance of AEBG and the excellent innovations and successes of the program's consortia. We are aligning our efforts with the national adult education campaign called Educate & Elevate, hosted by the Coalition on Adult Basic Education and the National Council of State Directors of Adult Education. Our efforts in California will be to promote all the great work of AEBG and to build a coordinated effort among the consortia and other adult education organizations to conduct visits with key legislators in October. This kickoff webinar will provide details about how to get your consortia recognized in both the California and national campaigns, with the help of our communications partner, Full Capacity Marketing, Inc. The team will walk you through the campaign components, toolkit and timeline.

The AEBG Office no longer accepts requests for support through the AEBG email address. The AEBG email account is used only for submitting reports and data to the AEBG Office.

The AEBG Office has established three field teams: the Data and Accountability Committee, the CTE Assessment Committee and the ABE/ASE/ESL Committee. The committees are comprised of select representatives from K-12 adult schools, community college credit programs and community college noncredit programs, as well as representatives from the California Department of Education and from the California Community Colleges Chancellor's Office.

, assessment and accountability reporting. The recommendations will be presented in a summary paper and in comprehensive documentation of data and accountability requirements for AEBG grantees and will be used to develop the assessment and accountability report due to the legislature Aug. 1.
The field teams welcome input from practitioners. Please read the white papers posted at aebg.ccco.edu and share your thoughts.
Community members are encouraged to provide comments throughout the process regarding priorities and concerns on data and accountability issues. Comments and suggestions also can be submitted via this
