Please join the Adult Ed Block Grant Technical Assistance Project for our next webinar Wednesday, June 7, 2017 at 1 p.m.
Title: Curriculum Alignment for Accelerated Learning
Length: 1 hour
Date: June 7, 2017
Time: 1 p.m. to 2 p.m.
Presenters:
Kathleen Porter, Poway Adult School
Suzanne Sebring, Palomar College
Description:
Although it might be a challenging endeavor, aligning curriculum within your consortium can prove to be a promising acceleration strategy and extremely valuable to all adult education stakeholders. The goal is to create a seamless transition between the adult schools, college, and the workplace for the benefit of your students. Curriculum alignment enables counselors, teachers, administrators, and students to easily identify the courses that are identical across districts, resulting in an easier transition between adult schools and non-credit programs, as well as enrolling in credit courses. An important side benefit to this work is the bonds created between faculty within similar disciplines -- they open communication pathways and allow for continuous improvement across all levels. Through participation in this webinar, participants will learn about the curriculum alignment project of the Education to Career Network of North San Diego County, analyze the potential benefits and pitfalls of similar efforts and explore how to effectively implement elements for their own curriculum alignment work.

The Center for Law and Social Policy (CLASP), a national, nonpartisan, anti-poverty organization issued Prosperity Through Partnership: Opportunities for AEBG to Strengthen Systems and Communities. The report was supported by funding from the AEBG Office and included contributions by the CCCCO, California Department of Education (CDE), CASAS, WestEd, IMPAQ, and OTAN, as well as field input from the AEBG regional consortia, via survey completion.
In January 2016, the CLASP commenced an 18-month project to study the implementation of California's Adult Education Block Grant (AEBG) initiative. CLASP set out to foster greater understanding of the implementation of California's AEBG governance and direct-service activities, analyze current and potential impacts of the AEBG initiative for partners and participants, and offer recommendations for potential policy and implementation changes in future rounds of AEBG funding and other coordinated funding streams. As a result of this study, CLASP details 19 recommendations.

The AEBG Office has established three field teams: the Data and Accountability Committee, the CTE Assessment Committee and the ABE/ASE/ESL Committee. The committees are made up of select representatives of K-12 adult schools, community college credit programs and community college noncredit programs. These members will be joined by representatives from the California Department of Education and from the Chancellor's Office.
The Data and Accountability committee will develop recommendations regarding metric definitions, data tracking, assessment, and accountability reporting for AEBG. The CTE Assessment and the Adult Basic Education/Adult Secondary Education/English as a Second Language (ABE/ASE/ESL) committees will examine issues pertaining to how each program area should be assessed for AEBG. The committees' recommendations will be presented in a summary paper. The recommendations also will be included in comprehensive documentation of data and accountability requirements for AEBG grantees, and it will be used to develop the assessment and accountability report due to the legislature Aug. 1.
The committees will meet between May and July. Below are links to the white paper prepared for the committee meetings as well as the meeting agendas. For more information and future updates, visit aebg.cccco.edu.
