California Adult Education Data and Accountability System 25

26 Background

Legislative Requirements (AB104; 2015) Identify common measures for determining effectiveness of members of consortia in meeting educational needs of adults Align data used for reporting with data reported by local agencies for other purposes such as WIOA (Perkins, Strong Workforce) Establish common assessments and policies regarding placement of adults into adult education program, measuring needs of adults, and effectiveness of providers Report twice yearly to the legislature: Preliminary Report October 30 th ; Final Report March 1 st after the end of the previous program year (July 1 to June 30 th ) 27

AB104: Data for Measuring the Effectiveness of Consortia: (1) How many adults are served by the consortium. (2) How many adults served by the consortium have demonstrated the following: (A) Improved literacy skills. (B) Completion of high school diplomas or their recognized equivalents. (C) Completion of post-secondary certificates, degrees, or training programs. (D) Placement into jobs. (E) Improved Wages (F) Transition into post-secondary education 28

AEBG Data, Accountability, and Assessment Planning Process Between May 1st and August 1st the Chancellors Office, CDE, and WestEd will convene field teams tofinali ze the def i nitions, tools, and data collection methods for measuring the impact and ef ectiveness of California s investments into Adult Education Programs and Consortia. 3 Field Teams and State Leadership will convene 9 times to consider and resolve all major decisions regarding AEBG data and accountability, deliver a final report to the legislature and Department of Finance by August 1st, and develop guidance and technical assistance strategies for the field.
