Advancing CA Adult Education Model Program Nomination Now Open 

In 2022, the CAEP Office and CAEP TAP recognized the Inland Adult Education Consortium for meeting the regional need of comprehensive and rigorous professional development. In 2016, the Inland Adult Education Consortium started hosting the regional professional development day and have continued each year. The annual professional development day is divided into two categories: trainings from curriculum/assessment providers, presentations from community partner organizations such as the workforce development board and immigration services, presentations from instructional practitioners on best-practices, and themes that align to the CAEP State Priorities. The professional development helped to level-set the knowledge, skills, and expectations of classified, certificated teachers, and administrators. This annual event draws participants from across Southern California with attendance often exceeding 150 participants. Learn more about this model program, including the unique features of the program and their outcomes, by clicking the link here
