The new Advancing CA Adult Education website launched almost a month ago! The new website is a repository of innovative, emerging, and model adult education programs throughout California that have demonstrated positive outcomes for students, agencies, and/or consortia.

In a series of launch videos, last week we highlighted how to connect with adult education practitioners and join the community based on a CAEP state priority and area of focus. In this week’s launch series segment, we introduce you to the Research and Practice section, a one-stop repository of adult education-specific research and associated practices. we also walk you through how to contribute to the growing body of research and practices. Click on the link below to learn more.

CAEP TAP is still accepting Model Programs nominations. Model programs are reviewed and added to the repository via a nomination process and are awarded annually at the CAEP Summit. The Advancing CA Adult Education video will provide details on how to submit a model program, including a live demonstration with step-by-step instructions. Review the video and submit today.

Submit a proposal today! If you experience any difficulty, contact the CAEP Summit 2021 Planning Committee at tap@caladulted.org to receive answers to your questions.

Interested in joining a group of adult education practitioners who will lead their consortium, region, or a group of adult educators in better understanding the Adult Education Pipeline dashboard. Join us for a 1.5 hour train-the-trainer session on the Adult Education Pipeline. We will walk you through and answer your questions about the ready-made PPT and the accompanying Facilitator Guide so that you can easily present Understanding and Using the Adult Education Pipeline (AEP) Dashboard for Continuous Improvement to a group of adult education professionals. PreKnowledge Required: This session is for people who are already familiar with the Adult Education Dashboard; it is not a training for novice users. Participants need to be familiar with the metrics on the AEP dashboard, know how to navigate the AEP dashboard, be familiar with the data sources (MIS, EDD UI wage files, CASAS TOPSpro) that inform the metrics on the AEP dashboard, know the basic vocabulary associated with data (e.g., denominator) and understand the purpose of the AEP dashboard. Prework Required: Participants will be required to review the PowerPoint and Facilitator Guide prior to the session (estimated 60 minutes of prework).
