CCCAOE Board Meeting


Pre-con, Wednesday morning, October 19, 2011:
Join WestEd and the Chancellor's Office for an open forum
and an opportunity to connect & learn from SB 70 grantees.

The Future of CTE Pathways Initiative (SB 70)
Please join WestEd and the Chancellor's Office for an open forum and an opportunity to connect and learn from SB
70 grantees and partners. Discussions will be framed around these four areas:

(1) how their administrators support their efforts and how faculty were involved;
(2) strategies for leveraging multiple sources of funding;
(3) how to build meaningful and lasting collaborative relationships with a wide range of K-12, industry, and other
partners; and
(4) how to plan for sustainability.

These are interesting times and SB 70 seems to embody several current policies that are coming to the
forefront, such as regional work, programs of study, targeting industry, green technology, and the importance of
partnerships and collaborative efforts. We hope this discussion will help grantees diversify funds and make new
meaningful connections.

Format: 8:30am – 11am; provide coffee (June will bring LCD projector and laptop); round table –
innovative programs go from table to table to share ideas (10 mins)

  • Certificates Count: Addressing Student Completion in Career Technical Education
    (open to all conference attendees: more details) presented by Career Ladders Project – a Supporting Partner for the conference click here

    Wednesday, March 23, 9:00-11:30 at CCCAOE Spring 2011 Conference

    Certificates Count:  Addressing Student Completion
     in Career Technical Education

    Certificate completion – particularly of longer term certificates – is in the spotlight.  The federal government, philanthropic organizations as well as policy leaders in California have all set ambitious goals for increasing student completion of community college certificates and degrees. This completion agenda is key to meeting employers’ increasing need for skilled workers as well as to enhancing students’ future wages and employment rates.

    This interactive session will bring participants up-to-date on the current state and national context and focus on high-impact strategies for increasing the numbers of students who earn high-quality CTE certificates and degrees at your campus. 

    Bringing together national and state policy leaders with California faculty and administrators engaged in a range of successful initiatives, the session will consider practices which show promise for accelerating progress and completion, particularly for students with multiple barriers to post-secondary education.  These include more intentional and structured pathways design; integration of career technical and academic education; contextualized and applied learning; more holistic student supports; and clear transition strategies.  Come join us for a lively and comprehensive session focused on approaches that work.
