Adult Dual Enrollment - Advancing Opportunities for Adult Learners Webinar
|
|
Since the adoption of Senate Bill 554 in 2019, an adult student pursuing a high school diploma or a high school equivalency certificate in California is authorized to enroll as a special part-time student at a community college. While some adult education consortia have implemented SB 554, there has not yet been a state-wide research effort to map implementation. This webinar will highlight lessons learned from adult education providers and community colleges who have promoted adult dual enrollment — or who have explored adult dual enrollment and run into barriers — in order to inform expanded use of the approach statewide. A panel of practitioners will share their experiences implementing this promising strategy. Please join us for this discussion, and bring your questions and your own stories to share. |

Date: June 27, 2022
Time: 12:00 p.m. – 1:30 p.m.

Nominate a CAEP Model Program
|
|
The CAEP Office and CAEP TAP welcomes nominations of California Adult Education Programs, demonstrating innovative, emerging, or model practices for the Advancing CA Adult Education Award and recognition. 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.
Access the model program nomination webpage to learn more about the nomination criteria, scoring rubric, and more. Nominations for a chance to be recognized at this year’s summit close August 17, 2022.

PPIC: California’s Digital Divide
|
|
In June, PPIC released a fact sheet addressing California’s digital divide using the 2020 American Community Survey. The fact sheet addresses broadband access, the number of users in a single household, household access by demographic groups, and the steps federal and state governments are taking to close the remaining digital divide. Below are some highlights from the fact sheet:
- Experimental data from the 2020 ACS show that 85% had high-speed internet (or broadband) and 94% of Californian households had internet access—of any kind, including via cell phone.
- Most Californians share broadband with others in their households: as of 2020, 77% of households reported having multiple users.
- In 2020, 10% of Californians reported not having a desktop, laptop, or other computing device at home.
- After most schools and colleges switched to distance learning in spring 2020, educators and policymakers focused successfully on narrowing the state’s longstanding digital divide. But digital access is still considerably lower among students in low-income, less-educated, and Black and Latino households.
- California Senate Bill 156 (2021) provides $6 billion to expand broadband infrastructure and enhance internet access in unserved and underserved communities. The federal Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act provides at least $100 million to expand broadband infrastructure in California.

Quarter 3 Member Expense Report
|
|
|
|
The Quarter 3 member expense report should have been submitted by all members by June 1, 2022. The consortium has until June 30, 2022 to certify.
Helpful Tips:
- All expenditure totals should be higher than the previous quarter.
- Prior to certifying, ensure that all object codes have sufficient funding. If not, complete a budget revision.
- The summary of activities should be clear and concise, yet comprehensive overview of the member's activities during the quarter.
- If prompted to complete a corrective action plan, ensure it is clear and concise, yet comprehensive.

California Distance Learning Cooperative Expansion Project
|
|
The California Adult Education Program is excited to work collaboratively with CAEP TAP and OTAN to expand the Canvas project to another 127 agencies through the California Distance Learning Cooperative (CDLC). Although implementation sprints have started, agencies are still more than welcome to sign-up and participate in the CDLC. An added benefit is CAEP TAP and OTAN will cover all set up costs for a new Canvas instance and provide the first 50 licenses. Signing up is very simple and there is an amazing team available to walk you through the process.
Join CAEP TAP and OTAN for the last information session on June 21, 2022 at 12:00 p.m. Members from both teams will walk you through the step-by-step process and answer any questions you may have. Register today!
Canvas Project Expansion – Learn about the CDLC and all the benefits
OTAN and CAEP TAP are excited to offer all adult education providers in the state of California an opportunity to have their own Canvas instance through the California Distance Learning Cooperative (CDLC). By participating in the CDLC, agencies will increase learners' access to distance learning opportunities and advance their digital literacy skills. The series of informational sessions will give administrators a basic understanding of what membership in the CDLC can provide their agency, learners and teachers. You’ll learn the basic requirements to become a member of the CDLC, the requirements for entering into a Memorandum of Understanding, and the timeline for full implementation of your own Canvas instance that you can use with learners, or, if you choose, use it for professional development for your staff and teachers. This is an opportunity to ask questions as well.
If you have any questions, please email AECanvas@scoe.net.
