The AEBG Office has issued a letter detailing requirements for Quarterly and Annual AEBG Performance Reports. This letter includes details and required actions relating to:
- management information system requirements;
- alignment of AEBG measures; and
- AEBG performance data and accountability funding
Consortia receiving AEBG funding from the CDE and the CCCCO for the 2016-17 program year must have a performance data collection system (MIS/Student Information Management System) by December 30, 2016 that can report all data into the CASAS TOPSPro® Enterprise system. Consortia must track only students funded by AEBG for instructions and services. Consortia must use the National Reporting System (NRS) approved instruments for measurable skill gains in AEBG funded instruction (12 hours or more) in ABE, ASE & ESL.*
*NOTE: Any non-WIOA members would have to purchase TOPSPro® Enterprise in order to report their AEBG student data. See AEBG student data collection page for link to CASAS pricing list (see link below). WIOA members already have TOPSPro and would not need to purchase it again.

More information was included on the 12/2 webinar (CLICK HERE to access the recording). The Q & A from that webinar will be available soon. On this week's webinar we will review the questions and answers from last week and answer new questions from participants.

The California Community Colleges Chancellor's Office announced the creation of the California College Promise Innovation Grant Program. The 2016-17 Budget appropriated one-time funding in the amount of $15 million, to support colleges interested in implementing new or expanding existing College Promise programs. Generally speaking, College Promise programs are partnerships which align local K-12 school districts, community colleges, and public university segments to provide clear pathways for students to follow in order to achieve their educational goals. In addition, a successful program should also improve college readiness, access, and the overall success of its participants.
These are one-time grant funds to be distributed as follows:
- The purpose of these grants is to enable colleges receiving an award to implement or expand a California College Promise program.
- It is the intent of the Legislature that community college districts develop partnerships with their local school districts and community organizations that will enable these successful programs to be replicated across the state and encourage students to pursue higher education.
- The maximum award amount of each grant is $750,000.
The application deadline is Friday, February 3, 2017, at 5:00 PM, PST.

The Council for Adult and Experiential Learning (CAEL), through support of the ECMC Foundation, is undertaking an innovative project to develop clear pathways between local Workforce Development Board-supported trainings and local community college degree programs by utilizing prior learning assessment (PLA) crosswalks and streamlined pathways for adult learners towards post-secondary completion. Through partnerships between local Workforce Development Boards and community colleges, this project seeks to convert WIOA-supported trainings into college level credits in equivalent college programs.
Now Accepting Applications
As part of this project, CAEL is requesting applications from four regions or communities to take part in this project. Attend their webinar December 12th to learn more. Applications are due January 13, 2017. CLICK HERE to download the application.
