Districts Commit to Transformational Effort

SBCAE Regional Plan is Transformational

to the Region –

Cost of living

demands a higher living wage

1 working adult with 2 school age children need to make about $34.00 per hour for self-sufficiency - 30% of the families who work full-time earn less

Income inequality

…

has widened

between the highest and lowest income racial

and

ethnic groupsSlide6

Educational inequality

…is one

of the largest drivers of

income inequality

, and the reward for a college degree is getting

higher.Slide7

Unemployment

higher

than both the national rate (6.1%) and the countywide rate (6.4

%)

as high as 10.5% in the East Side of San Jose. Slide8

Immigration

36.4%

of Santa Clara County residents

foreign born

50.8

% speak a language other than English in the home. Slide9

SBCAE Regional Plan is Transformational

Increased access (no wrong door)

Enhanced student agency via Individual Plans

Objectives of a new delivery system

Develop systems that are responsive to

student needs

and foster

student agency

Facilitate students’ individual plans that map accessible pathways across the educational systemsEnsure that Adult Schools, Community Colleges and community partners use common assessments, placements and curriculum alignmentSupport faculty in using effective best practices (e.g., contextualized basic skills courses, CTE preparation courses)Build clearly defined and structured pathway transitions

and provide effective and sustainable transition supportsProvide wrap-around support services to all students to help address academic and personal barriers including accessing community-based resourcesCollaborate with community and business partners to leverage resources across the regionSlide14

Inclusive Planning Process

Formation of the Consortium with a

Steering Committee

and

a

Project Management PlanEngagement with key stakeholders:Academic Senate and Bargaining Unit Leaders (The Leadership Group)Five program area work groups, i.e. ABE-ASE, ESL, AWD, CTE and Apprenticeships (The Work Groups)Key partner organizations and institutions i.e. Immigrant Services, Social Services, Corrections, Libraries, CBOs

… (The Partner Advisory Group)Workforce Investment BoardsIndustry Advisory Groups (CTE)ALLIESAdult learner focus groupsCEOs and Boards of Directors of member institutionsSurveys, key informant interviews, focus groups, retreats, meetings, partner brainstorming sessions, etc. and lots of working sessionsSlide15

The “No Wrong Door” Approach Means…

A

dult learners

can begin

educational process no matter which Consortium services they access first

Adult learners are welcomed, their goals and needs understood and used to personalize serviceCommon system is used to identify student’s level of academic functioning and comfort zoneInteractions are culturally sensitive and respectful, and the individual will be supported in discovering their optimal settingAccess is through multiple on-ramps

, and a universal, well-coordinated assessment process will be used to determine what skill acquisition is needed to meet the adult learner’s personal, educational and career goalsSlide16

The Adult Education Payback

Innovative

wrap-around support services help achieve better outcomes

for all adult learners

Tremendous

benefits in building a seamless transition to help more of our learners to achieve college and career goals more quicklyAcceleration of student success has a positive impact on unemployment and underemploymentAttainment of academic and career goals will reduce recidivism rateAddressing learning disability is unleashing precious human potentialLeveraging regional resources in a coordinated way will

increase both efficiency and effectiveness of adult education systemSlide23

Allocation Committee Considerations

Allocation committee proposal has

merit in the

inclusion of key stakeholders

in the planning and decision making process.

These key stakeholders have already been an integral part of our regional plan to date.We would like to see specific requirements spelled out Allocation decisions should be consistent with the vision, objectives and strategies identified in the regional planAllocation committee should act like an

oversight committee to ensure plan consistencyAllocation committee should be a subset of the steering committee to ensure alignment between planning, allocation and implementationAllocation decisions should be made by the steering committee and if not, should have the agreement of the steering committee
