California Healthy Places Index Interactive COVID-19 Resource Map
|
|
The California Healthy Places Index (HPI), provided by the Public Health Alliance (PHA) of Southern California, is a powerful resource that showcases community conditions which predicts life expectancy and influence health. People’s health is shaped dramatically by “non-health” policies and community characteristics, such as housing, education, economic, environmental, and social factors. These community conditions are called the “social determinants of health”, which informs the indicators used on the HPI platform. CAEP regional consortia may consider this as a tool to assist with the upcoming 3-year planning process. Detailed needs data is provided down to the zip code level. |

N&R Publication Student Story:
A Second Chance
|
|
Meet Dr. Cesar Padilla, a medical director of maternal critical care, nationally recognized leader in the field, and a Fremont Adult school graduate. At the tender age of 15, Dr. Padilla nearly dropped out of school and was considering a career as a grocery store cashier. Growing up in the Bay Area neighborhood of Decoto, Dr. Padilla was surrounded by drugs and gang activity. By his sophomore year, Dr. Padilla’s overall GPA was 0.67. Understanding that he would not graduate on time, Dr. Padilla’s father enrolled him in Fremont Adult School where he thrived, matriculated to the University of San Francisco, medical school in New York, a residency in Los Angeles, and two fellowships at the Harvard Brigham and Women’s Hospital. Dr. Padilla credits his success to Fremont Adult School because “they picked me up, didn’t let me fail and they believed in me.” |

Close out of the 2018-19 CAEP funds in NOVA is underway. By now, members should have submitted their Q2 expenditure reports and the reports should be under review by the consortium. As part of the Q2 expenditure reporting in NOVA, each consortium will close out by certifying that all members have expended 2018-19 CAEP funds and there is no remaining balance. If there is a remaining balance, NOVA will generate an invoice to return 2018-19 funds to the State General Fund.

In Fall 2020, Jennie Mollica and Peter Simon of High Road Alliance were commissioned to conduct a research study to gain a better understanding of CAEP best practices and identify regional peer experts in the areas of Transition and Immigrant Integration. To identify and learn about these effective practices, interviews were conducted with administrators and instructors representing more than 30 consortia in all regions of the state. Responses were analyzed to identify widely-used effective practices, as well as innovations that stood out for their creativity, resourcefulness, or impact.

CASAS Immigrant Integration Indicators (I3) Reports in TOPSpro Enterprise
Thursday, March 25, 2021
12:00 p.m. - 1:30 p.m. PST
AB 2098 provides resources for immigrant integration and stipulates that the state provide tools and metrics for reporting immigrant integration outcomes. In response, CAEP put together a committee and has been working with several partners to develop the metrics, outcomes, and capacity. To address these statewide priorities, CASAS has developed Immigrant Integration Indicators (I3) reports in TOPSpro Enterprise (TE) and added I3 outcomes to the CAEP Summary report. Both the CAEP I3 outcomes and the TE reports are based on the Civic Objective and Additional Assessment Plans (COAAPs) used for California WIOA II reporting.
Join Jay Wright of CASAS to explore how these I3 indicators and reports can increase reported outcomes and improve instruction for immigrant students. Join an all-star panel to discuss regional and agency level goal setting, and explore how top performing CAEP consortia and agencies address performance improvement.
