| Regional AEBGrant Workshops Offer Training on AEBG Implementation |
Learn more about the implementation of the Adult Education Block Grant. The AEBG budget bill (AB 104) outlines specific requirements that consortia must follow. The AEBG office will host a series of workshops around the state to provide information and to answer questions about what consortia must do to meet the requirements of the Adult Education Block Grant legislation. This is a joint effort of the CDE and Chancellor's Office through the AE Block Grant Office.
These workshops are in addition to the AEBG Adult Education Regional Planning Summit in Sacramento. Technical assistance workshops at the Summit will provide this information to attendees.
These workshops are recommended for consortia leads and other individuals who will be working on 2015-16 implementation templates, amended three-year plans, and grant budgets and expenditures.
To register, please click on the link below for the workshop you wish to attend: Registration is limited to 35 participants at each location. Please limit attendees to key people from your consortium. Plenty of spots remain for the workshops. Two successful workshops have already been held at Baldwin Park and Fresno Adult School.

Share Your Practices with Promise
|
The AEBG Practices with Promise site is a tool developed to share promising practices in adult education across the State. This tool allows regional consortia to share promising practices currently in use that have been proven to work. These practices include current initiatives, pilot programs, or strategies employed in your region for any or all of the 5 program areas as well as practices that have helped your planning process be a success. How do you share the final adult education plan and provide an opportunity for teachers to learn from other program areas when working across a large consortium that consists of nine member districts and hundreds of teachers? Mt. San Antonio Community College Consortium found the answer in a "Roll Out Conference" that increased knowledge and understanding of their AB86 Adult Education Plan. Learn how Mt. San Antonio Community College Consortium introduced their plan by providing professional development to teachers throughout their large consortium by clicking the link below.
We want to hear your stories and we want you to share your promising practices with your colleagues in adult education. Visit AEBGpracticeswithpromise.com to submit your story today!
