USDOE Webinar on Improving Access to Career Pathways Programs for Adult Students
|
|
Join the U.S. Department of Education and partners Monday (10/21) from 10 a.m.-11:30 a.m. Pacific time for a webinar on the Ability to Benefit (ATB) provisions of the Higher Education Act (34 CFR §668.141-668.156).
This topic will be of interest to adult education, career and technical education, workforce development, and postsecondary practitioners and advocates, including those working with Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) and Perkins V programs.
Fulfilling one of the ATB alternatives allows a student without a high school diploma or its equivalent to receive Title IV federal student aid (e.g., a Pell Grant or Direct Loan) to pay for postsecondary education if the student is enrolled in an eligible career pathway program. This webinar will deepen your understanding of the potential of ATB by explaining what it is, the history behind it, examples of its current use at a community college and in a state community college system, and how you could start the conversation at your college or in your state to expand or institutionalize ATB use.
Webinar presenters are:
- Casey Sacks, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Community Colleges, Office of Career, Technical, and Adult Education
- Aaron Washington, Management and Program Analyst, Office of Policy, Planning, and Innovation
- Laurie Kierstead-Joseph, Director of Adult Education Services, Pima Community College
- Nikitna Barnes, Assistant Director for Resource Development, Mississippi Community College Board
- Erin Berg, Community College Program Specialist, Office of Career, Technical, and Adult Education

Chancellor's Office Provides Guidance Related to Credit English as a Second Language
|
|
The California Community Colleges Chancellor's Office issued a memo late last month providing guidance to colleges regarding compliance with the credit English as a Second Language (ESL) relative to Assembly Bill 705 (2017) and Assembly Bill 1805 (2018).
The intent of the memo was to clarify the obligations of the colleges to help ESL departments implement AB 705 and AB 1805 and achieve the Vision for Success goals of increasing degrees and transfer.
