See the link below to review the instructions for the 15-16 AEBG Student Data Collection. The student data will be entered via the AEBG Portal by August 1, 2016. Although the instructions do not have the tables, the portal will be open sometime next month with the data entry fields/tables. The AEBG Office will host webinars throughout June and July to help consortia have a better understanding on the data collection instructions and how to file the data in the AEBG Portal. Join us for the first webinar on this topic this week on Friday, June 3 at 12:00 p.m to 1:00 p.m. CLICK HERE for information on how to connect to that webinar.
AEBG 16-17 Student Data Collection instructions are in the works and hopefully will be released in the fall to help you plan in advance for the next school year. In addition, guidance will be out next month on the AEBG Data and Accountability funding that can assist you in your student data collection needs, student tracking throughout your region, integration of partner/member systems, and more!

The AEBG Office has released the AEBG Data and Accountability allocations for regional consortia. The funding will be used to:
- Resolve AEBG data collection needs required by AB104,
- Foster regional and local system integration, coordinate regional intake, assessment, and referral,
- Align efforts under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act, and
- Ultimately connect to a state level AEBG Data System.
Instructions and requirements will be out soon. Budget and work plans will be due in early Fall. Funding is good through December 31, 2017 with a final expenditure report due in January 2018 and close out report in February/March 2018. Budgets, expenditures, and progress will be reported, using a separate code (15-328-XX), via the current online reporting system (used under AB86, and currently being used by AB104).
Important documents and events concerning this funding:
See the link to the allocations by consortia. Please note - the allocations are broken out into two parts - AB104 legislative language for the $25M for data and accountability efforts (85% to the regional consortia), and a small amount of unspent funding ($4.8M) from 15-16 that must be programmed before the end of the state fiscal year.
More information will be released soon.

The 2016-17 preliminary allocation schedule was posted in February 2016. The Board of Governors is scheduled to approve the $500M AEBG funding at their July board meeting. Once the State has Board approval, the final 2016-17 apportionment schedules will be processed and posted on the AEBG website for 2016-17. We anticipate the final apportionment schedules to be posted in August.
If your accounting office is in need of an "Intent to Award letter" and/or a "Preliminary Schedule," please visit the following links:
3. Chancellor's Office apportionment schedule posted on their Fiscal Division webpage (will be posted this summer)
Please remind your accounting offices that the AEBG funding is apportionment - not a grant and in turn, there will be no
face sheets, no terms, no conditions, and no signatures required for AEBG apportionment funds.
Also, a reminder that Consortia Members will need local board approval for 16-17 AEBG funding. We discourage consortia members from waiting for the final allocation schedule, which will be released this summer, to request board approval since this may cause a delay in expending 2016-17 funds. You can use the Intent to Award Letter, preliminary allocation schedule and a print out of the signed CFAD (see web portal for instructions) for your members to bring to their boards for approval.

This inmate education workshop may be of interest to your consortium:
The training will explore how your district can effectively develop and implement a high quality face-to-face and distance education program. This workshop will also include a visit to a partnering correctional institution where attendees will have the opportunity to see first-hand the classroom environment, meet and hear from prison education and custody staff, and speak with current community college students on the inside.
Each college is encouraged to send a small team of representatives including faculty, administrators, AEBG consortia representatives, and instructional support and student services personnel. Attendees will leave this training with a practical understanding of the rules and regulations surrounding inmate education environment, strategies for identifying California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) partners, best practices in course and program selection, and strategies for recruiting the training faculty.
The workshop will be held on June 8-9 and June 20-21. See the link below for information on how to register.

Practices with Promise Spotlight
South Bay Adult Education Consortium (Southwestern): Creating Educational Roadmaps
|
The South Bay Adult Education Consortium includes Coronado Unified School District, Southwestern Community College District, Sweetwater Union High School District
THE CHALLENGE
Counselors were in need of a tool to help define program pathways to students, as not all program pathways both within member districts and among consortium members had previously been defined. Students needed to be better informed as to the multiple entry and exit points along a given pathway, and how programs linked from adult education programs to college programs.
THE SOLUTION
Counselors defined each adult ed program pathway that are offered at their respective member districts, and identified the multiple entry and exit points for each program pathway. Once those program pathways were defined, they were linked together as a consortium-wide educational roadmap. The educational roadmap will serve as the starting point to further develop linkages among consortium members in the areas of orientation, assessment, placement, educational planning, and support services. The resulting linkages will be in support of the consortium's "no wrong door" policy, where students would be referred to the appropriate programs and services that they need, regardless of where in the consortium those programs and services are offered.
