Priorities

Communication (http://web.peralta.edu/pbi/)

CTE Committee Priorities – identified Spring 2014

• Rebuild our capacity to help CTE students get jobs. While this issue came up after each attendee had already listed their top 3 priorities, everyone agreed afterwards that this is a top priority. If job placement is done effectively, it will solve a number of other issues related to outreach, enrollment and resources. This is, of course, closely linked with the Data priority in that we need to build systems for collecting and tracking the placement and employment outcome data (tied to the Student Outcome Surveys).

• Improve budget transparency and management. Faculty would like greater access to their budgets and better information about cut-offs, deadlines, and how they can use their funds.

• Improve human resource processes for CTE. Faculty and Deans would like to focus on improving contracting and hiring for CTE grant-funded and related programs and activities.

• Improve procurement/purchasing processes for CTE. These processes are confusing and cumbersome and Deans and Faculty are spending too much time inefficiently to purchase equipment and other related materials for CTE. How can we improve these processes?

• Data. Committee would like to work with Institutional Research to understand how data tracking and requests are currently being handled, discuss what improvements have been or can be made – especially with respect to corresponding data collection and reporting and the necessary reporting colleges need to do to report SLO’s for grants and other funding streams.

• Access to information. The Committee would like to see greater access to information about grants, grant deadlines, grant reporting requirements. KE will follow up in putting this information on the District’s CTE website as a password protected function.

AB 86: ADULT EDUCATION

Presentation to the DECApril 17, 2015

by:

Karen Engel, Director of Economic & Workforce Development

Cleavon Smith, BCC English faculty, Co-Chair of the AB 86 Basic Skills Area Group for Adult Education

Why?

2008-9

• K-12 Districts given permission to “flex” Adult Education funding

• OUSD “flexes” 90% of their funds to serving kids

• 23,000 adults served/year reduced to 2,300/year by 2014

Why?

2012 LAO Report found:

• Responsibility for Adult Education has been unclear for decades

• Overly broad mission• Lack of clear delineations

between pre-collegiate and collegiate work

• Inconsistent state policies• Lack of coordination among

providers (duplication of services)• Limited student data resulting in

insufficient accountability

Response• 2013 Governor Brown:

• Eliminate Adult Schools and give it all to the colleges• Create regional consortia and fund regional plans

• 2014 Peralta forms a Consortium with:• Albany USD• Berkeley USD• Emery USD• Alameda USD• Oakland USD• Piedmont USD

• Year of planning resulting in a regional plan completed and submitted to the state on March 2, 2015

2015 Legislative Report findings• Insufficient availability of adult education programs;• Need for innovation in adult education programs;• Inadequate academic, social, and financial support for

students• Inconsistency across the K-12 and community college

districts regarding assessments for placement;• Lack of a common accountability approach for monitoring

student progress; • Limited regional coordination.

State Response• $500M in Governor’s proposed budget

• “Maintenance of Effort” for K-12 Adult Schools• Seed funds for the regional consortia (Peralta region expecting

$1M-$1.5M to begin implementing our plan)

• AB 173 requires CDE and CCCCO to align: • Registration and course fees• Assessments• Teacher minimum qualifications • Creating common student identifiers so a comprehensive

accountability system can be implemented

Peralta Regional Plan Goals:• Expand course offerings to meet unmet needs,

particularly in Oakland • Ensure comprehensive, coordinated assessments and

placement services • Build industry pathways, “entrepreneurship” pathways,

and other aligned course series with multiple onramps • Contextualize instruction and infusing coursework with

strong civic engagement components • Provide the transition services needed to help students

progress along their paths and across segments, together with other services to support their success.

What does this mean for the Peralta Colleges?

• Enrollment• Quality and quantity of incoming students improved

• SSSP• Assessment, orientation, ed. planning in collaboration with Adult

Schools: greater numbers, better student outcomes

• Basic Skills• Focus on our strengths in terms of pre-collegiate/collegiate

offerings

• Career Pathways• Build on CPT and CAA work to build CTE pathways• Address equipment and facility concerns (potentially)

• English-Language Learners• Address the critical absence of low-level ESL offerings
