Advancing CA Adult Education Model Programs
|
|
As the 2021-22 program year is coming to a close, take a moment to reflect on the amazing strides your program has made this year. Then, consider submitting a model program recognition for an opportunity to be recognized at the CAEP Summit 2022. 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 recognized at this year’s summit close August 17, 2022.

Students Inspire at Annual South Bay Consortium for Adult Education Conference
|
|
During this year’s annual conference, South Bay Consortium for Adult Education (SBCAE) teachers, classified staff and administrators had the opportunity to hear from SBCAE students on how adult education practitioners and their participation in adult school and community college noncredit programming have made a difference in their lives. Five students talked about how taking ESL classes helps them participate more fully in their communities, find a better job, and/or advocate for their children in school, and more.
Learn more about these students’ experiences by watching clips of the SBCAE Student Panel on the SBCAE YouTube Channel.

PPIC Blog Post: California’s Unemployment Gaps Have Narrowed During the Pandemic
|
|
In their latest blog post, PPIC addresses California’s strong recovery post-COVID. As of March 2022, California had recovered 89% of the jobs lost two years prior in spring of 2020. Industry sectors have recovered at different rates. For example, leisure and hospitality have not met pre-pandemic levels as of yet, while transportation and warehousing jobs are well ahead. Racial and regional disparities in unemployment have narrowed over the course of the pandemic—an encouraging sign that the state might be on the path toward an equitable recovery.
Learn more about California’s unemployment gaps in a post-pandemic era in the latest PPIC blog post.

- The summary of activities should be clear and concise, yet comprehensive overview of the member's activities during the quarter.

WestEd’s NEW! Two-Part Professional Development Opportunities
|
|
In June, WestEd will conduct two sessions on how to use the Adult Education to Workforce Dashboard Tool to explore career pathways within regions across the State. Review the below descriptions and learn more about the workforce dashboard tool. |
|
Part I and II: Creating Career Pathways Using the Updated Adult Education to Workforce Dashboard Tool
Join this professional development opportunity to explore career pathways in your consortium. This TWO session workshop will focus on using data to make decisions for identifying opportunities and gaps in educational offerings and local labor market needs. We will introduce and explore the Regional Adult Education to Workforce Dashboard, which provides information on local educational programs and training (by metacluster) by institution as well as local labor market information, (annual openings, COE Skill category, Self-Sufficiency wages). We will also explore other data tools to help identify feasible and sustainable pathways for adult learners. Activities and discussions will focus on how to identify collaborative student centered opportunities that create a coherent pathway through K-12 Adult Schools and Noncredit community college programs to employment or additional training. The limited numbers will allow for 1) breakout groups, idea sharing, discussions, and networking opportunities with your peers; and 2) the opportunity to explore and ask questions about your data. This professional development opportunity will use a problem of practice approach which will be contextualized to participants needs and contexts. Between sessions participants will complete a self-identified Action Step that will inform Session 2. Sign up as an individual or as a group. Enrollment is limited to 30. Participants must attend both sessions.

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.
