Community College District Presidents And Unified School District Superintendents Are Focused On Improving Adult Education In California
|
|
Leadership, one of the CAEP State Priorities, calls for a big-picture viewpoint and commitment to change from all practitioners. For CAEP, Leadership encompasses the knowledge and skills leaders need to successfully manage a consortium and/or an K-12 adult education agency or noncredit community college program. As part of the CAEP Summit 2021 Publication, four leaders were interviewed to address their focus on improving adult education in California. The questions they were asked are presented below:
- How does your position as superintendent and as a voting member of the consortium help promote adult education in your community?
- How have you built stronger alignments between K-12 districts, your associated adult programs and community college programs?
- What activities have promoted adult education outreach, retention and outcomes?
- What tips/advice would you provide to increase communication/collaboration across K-12 and community college systems? What is the vision moving forward?
Learn more about their viewpoints on the vision, promotion, and advancement of adult education by accessing the full story.

PPIC Webinar: Targeted K-12 Funding and Student Outcomes
|
|
As students return to the classroom, record-high funding through the Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF) will help California districts address gaps after a year of remote learning. PPIC researcher Julien Lafortune will present findings from a new report that examines school and district spending against trends in student outcomes, offering insight into whether the LCFF is meeting its goal of improving equity in education.
This research and event are supported with funding from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and the Stuart Foundation.

PPIC Blog Post: California’s Dual Enrollment Job Challenges
|
|
PPIC posits the latest jobs report for California holds both promise and challenges for the near-term. In an economy made uncertain by the Delta variant, California added jobs at a faster clip than the nation. But the unemployment rate itself barely budged. Over 1.4 million Californians remain unemployed as of mid-August, and pandemic unemployment benefits expired on September 4th.
Unemployment is furthest from pre-pandemic levels in Los Angeles County, where it is 4.7 percentage points higher than in August 2019. Rates are also 3 or more percentage points higher in several southern California counties (San Bernardino, Orange, and San Diego) and northern California counties (Solano, Contra Costa, Alameda, Sacramento, and Alpine), roughly similar to the overall difference statewide.
Overall unemployment for the state has changed only slightly, from 7.6 to 7.5 in August. While returning to pre-pandemic rates is necessary for recovery, addressing regional disparities is central to counteracting long-term inequality. So far, the recovery has made little progress on that front. Imperial County actually has a lower unemployment rate than pre-pandemic—the only California county where that is true—despite having the highest rate in the state. And more broadly, unemployment rates are nearly double in inland California relative to some coastal areas—especially the Bay Area and Central Coast.

Hanover Research – Best Practices in Recruiting Rural Students

In the latest Hanover Research report, the challenges of recruiting rural students, understanding their needs vary significantly from those of other student groups are discussed and strategies to overcome are presented. In this research brief, Hanover Research explores best practices in recruitment and enrollment strategies for rural prospective college students. The key findings include:
- Recruitment strategies for rural students should focus on building personal relationships and building brand visibility through community events.
- Rural students are particularly concerned about the financial aspects of attending a four-year college or university.
- To build trust with rural communities, institutions should develop relationships beyond student recruitment, including responding to and engaging with local needs and concerns.
