NEW! CAEP State Priority Webinars and Peer Learning Circles

Program Evaluation at the Consortium Level is a two-part series. Collecting data and reporting outcomes are critical issues consortia are currently addressing. Consortia are interested in learning how to capture quality data and examine data for program improvement. In this session, the Capital Adult Education Regional Consortium’s (CAERC) will share how the consortium is aligning their data reporting to track student transitions through adult education, from ESL and ABE through ASE/CTE, to college or the workforce. During this hands-on session, participants will work in groups to complete a student update record, utilizing resources such as the Data Dictionary and data support tools, and follow that student’s data across the CAEP Summary table. 

 

June 5, 2023 from 12:00 p.m. - 1:30 p.m.
