AB 1491 Peer Learning Circle: The Conversation Continues on April 11, 2023
| |
|
The AB 1491 Guidance webinar, hosted by the CAEP Office and CAEP TAP on March 23, 2023, provided a better understanding of the legislation, CAEP guidance, and how NOVA will support tracking of member and consortium carryover. During the webinar, attendees grappled with how to best implement the legislation, update their existing bylaws, track carryover, and more. In response to the need for continued conversation, the CAEP Office and CAEP TAP are hosting a peer learning circle (PLC) focused on AB 1491. The AB 1491 PLC will provide a platform for practitioners to participate in a lightly-facilitated discussion to continue to think and work through implementation of the new legislation.
Register to attend the upcoming PLC on Tuesday, April 11, 2023 from 12:00 p.m. - 1:00 p.m.
Additionally, be sure to access the following AB 1491 resources:

The program recognizes the hard work that outstanding adult education students have completed in the pursuit of their personal, academic, and professional goals and aspirations.

Advancing CA Adult Education Model Program Nomination Now Open
| |
|
In 2022, the CAEP Office and CAEP TAP recognized Castro Valley Adult & Career Education for piloting a fully online citizenship preparation class to make it more accessible and convenient to a larger segment of the community. Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, the citizenship preparation class was in-person, open entry/open exit and offered on weekday afternoons. During the first year of the pandemic, the existing format produced low enrollment numbers. In response to this challenge and the opportunities the pandemic presented, Castro Valley Adult & Career Education re-implemented their citizenship preparation program to an online format and enrollment increased to pre-pandemic levels. Learn more about this model program, including the unique features of the program and their outcomes, by clicking the link here.
The Advancing CA Adult Education Model Program nomination program is open for 2023! The CAEP Office welcomes nominations of California Adult Education Programs, demonstrating innovative, emerging, or model practices for the Advancing CA Adult Education Award and recognition at California’s CAEP Summit. Model CAEP programs must be aligned to approved CAEP program areas and the adult education state priorities: learner transition, program development, equity, leadership, technology and distance learning, program evaluation, and marketing. The adult education state priorities align with the CCCCO Vision for Success goals and the CDE Superintendent’s Initiatives.
Benefits to participating in the project:
- Showcase a new, emerging, and/or promising program.
- Share practices with other adult education programs and practitioners.
- A video capturing the highlights of the top two scoring programs is created.
- All qualifying program nominations are published on the CAEP website.
- All qualifying program nominations are recognized at the annual CAEP Summit.
- Stories and videos may be highlighted at conferences throughout California and distributed to local, regional, and state officials.
How to participate in the project:
Nominations must highlight a California Adult Education Program (CAEP) approved program area and may be submitted by any CAEP funded agency during the open nomination period. This year’s nomination period is March 1, 2023 - June 30, 2023. All nominations will be reviewed for completeness and for how closely they address the rubric criteria stated on the nomination form. Incomplete nominations and nominations that do not address the rubric criteria will not be considered.
To get started, go to the Request Support page on the CAEP website (caladulted.org) and register as a new user or login to the website. Once logged in, click on the box that says Submit Nomination.
