Q1 Improved Literacy skills Adult School and community college - what qualifies as progress towards diploma?

Progress towards diploma is a data element in addition to the progress from Low ASE to High ASE which is measured using CASAS NRS approved testing instruments. Progress towards diploma is completion of any course which counts towards a state approved adult high school diploma program during a quarterly reporting period. This metric was specifically requested by field practitioners so programs could get credit for students who make progress towards their diploma but who have not attained an EFL or have attained the EFL from low to high ASE but who are still working on their diploma requirements.

Q2 Can you please add me to your distribution list?

I have added you to the AEP email distribution list. If you have any other staff who would like to subscribe, please have them sign-up at the following link: AEP Newsletter

Q2 Is it possible for the Chancellor's Office to add these questions from the Program Entry Record to the online application (CCC Apply)?

In 2017/2018, the Chancellor’s Office will conduct a review of CCC Apply to identify ways to align data collection with Adult Education reporting and how CCC Apply can be made more useful for noncredit programs and students.

Q3 Can students passing HSE with under 9th grade level still qualify for HSE attainment?

Yes, that’s fine. That sort of student would not qualify for the special literacy gain outcome I am talking about now – but by all means, if they pass the HSE that will certainly count for the secondary HSE outcome.

Q3 13. The following adult schools are not found under Last High School Attended. This statement does confuse the adult school students. Although they are completing their High School Diploma or High School Equivalency at the adult school site, some will enter the previous high school they attended. Black Mountain Adult Education Caruthers Adult School Central Learning Adult School Site Dinuba Adult School Kings Canyon Adult School Selma Adult School Washington Unified Adult School Yosemite Adult School Delma Graves Adult School Currently, we tell the students to type in the adult school name. If the students complete the application on their own, they might enter their last high school attended and not the current adult school. Not sure what the process is to get these schools added into CCC Apply. Please see the example at the link below. https://drive.google.com/a/statecenter.com/file/d/0B7rD2sqI9mf_NFNoWjdtRGx1Wi1uOTNnYUNlaFFfeVFIQzJJ/view?usp=sharing

The AEP Office will add this to a list of requests for CCC Apply. We will keep the AEP community updated on any changes.

Q4 Are credit-non-transfer and non-credit-non-transfer definitions the same in all college and if not will they be aligned?

Course content and definitions for both credit and noncredit are local curriculum decisions except where already prescribed under education code.

Q4 I wanted to check on the status of the AEP Policy Field Team(s). Applications were submitted some time ago and I am wondering about the status and how this moves forward.

We are waiting for further details from the AEP State Office regarding next steps for the AEP Policy Field Team. As soon as we receive an updated status on the process, we will pass that along.

Q5 In a co-taught class, if the ESL and CTE teachers are both K12, what program should they be affiliated with. What happens when the ESL person is K12-credentialed and the CTE person a college person (or visa versa)? Are classes such as Health career-prep (exploration) classes counted as CTE. What about Quickbook classes.

It does not matter if the teacher is CCD or K12. The student should be co-enrolled in both the ESL program and the CTE program. Identify the ESL class as IET in the class lister.
Health Career Prep and Exploration would be considered a Workforce Preparation course and count towards the Workforce Preparation Milestone.
