AB 86 - Adult Education Plan Goal: • Provide access to instructional services forall who need it.*
AB 86 – Adult Education Plan Strategies: • Adult Schools and Colleges have distinct roles that are well aligned and highly coordinated; • Adult School roles: • Literacy and very low skill students (1st-7th grade); High School Equivalency (HSE) • Low level CTE for contextualized learning – linked to higher levels at CC’s • Open entry/exit; noncredit; repeatability; focus on life skills and self-sufficiency • Community College roles: • College and Career focus • All higher level CTE • CDCP non-credit sequences (closely aligned with Adult Schools) • Post-secondary credit and industry-driven credentials (higher level ESL and Basic Skills) • Community-based organization (CBO) roles: • Student supports (wrap-around) • Communications and outreach • Source of aligned and leveraged additional resources • Aligned system would include: • Cross-system professional network for instructors (that include opportunities for professional development and curriculum alignment) – clear MQ’s • A much higher degree of ESL and Basic Skills instruction embedded in contextualized CTE instruction. More bridge programming available. • Shared student data, assessments, placement policies and procedures, education planning – coordinated, clear COMMUNICATION to students
