N&R Publication Student Story:

Learning New Skills at Any Age

Meet Maria Vela, a thriving Santa Rosa Junior College (SRJC) adult education program graduate and now employee. When Maria arrived in the United States (US) at age 17, she had barely completed the 10^th grade and did not speak English. After working more than 10 years as a machine operator at a medical device company here in the US, Maria still did not speak English. It wasn’t until someone asked Maria a series of questions in English that she realized she needed to enroll in classes to learn English. Maria completed SRJC’s English as a Second Language program, and earned her high school equivalency and two certificates in computer technology. Maria is now employed by the same adult education program at SRJC that supported her dreams of learning English.

Learn more about Maria’s powerful story in the Bay Area N&R Publication.

Reminder: 2018-19 Close Out in NOVA Through March 31^st

Word deadline written in red and all caps

Consortia members can begin submitting the 2018-19 close out in NOVA. 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.

If you need assistance completing this process, please review the February 5^th NOVA Closeout for 2018-19 Funds webinar, and/or contact CAEP TAP at tap@caladulted.org for assistance.

CAEP Targeted Technical Assistance Memo

The California Adult Education Program (CAEP) Office is rolling out targeted technical assistance (TTA) for CAEP consortia and their members. The purpose of the TTA is to provide consortia leads and their members with structured, intensive coaching and support to positively affect student, member, and consortia outcomes. The Outreach and Technical Assistance Network (OTAN) and CAEP Technical Assistance Project (CAEP TAP) will oversee this project.

Beginning in March 2021, selected CAEP regional consortia will be notified by the State CAEP Office to participate in this effort; there will be no application process. The TTA memo provides the official announcement and more detailed information.

Please contact TAP at tap@caladulted.org or (888) 827-2324 if you have any questions.

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.
