Data and Accountability Workgroup (DAW) Recommendations
A decade ago, the California Adult Education Program (CAEP) was established to unify adult education services, but a fragmented data infrastructure made it difficult to track student outcomes across systems. In response, the California Community Colleges Chancellor’s Office (CCCCO) and the California Department of Education (CDE) created a practitioner workgroup to build a coherent data set for measuring success and informing continuous improvement. This recommendation report shares the findings of a second workgroup convened to further refine these data and analytics efforts. Follow the link below for a detailed breakdown of recommendations.

Building Partnerships that Count
Be Proud – California is Diverse. Just as our regional economies are diverse across California, so are the adult learners that live in, and contribute to, their communities. Because of this diversity, CAEP empowers 71 regional consortia to design innovations and best practices that align with the goals of adult learners; these innovations are in turn shared among consortium members and partner agencies, sparking a synergistic trading of ideas and a vibrant, growing body of knowledge.
The high quality programs and practices developed through the integration of K-12 adult education and community college resources on a regional level are uniquely suited to equip all available workers with the tools they need to contribute to California’s economic growth.
There are close to 400 CAEP members and more than 1,000 community partners within our 71 consortia that work synergistically through our multiple partner locations in every part of the state to create available access points for adult learners.
