Activities & Outcomes
Objective #1: Address Educational Needs
Student Retention Plan
The primary objectives of this proposed initiative include increasing the overall number of students who achieve their HSE or HSD. A specific goal is set to reduce the proportion of HSD students who have been enrolled in the program for over a month during the school year without earning any credits. This data-driven strategy aims to improve student engagement, accelerate credit accumulation, and ultimately boost program completion rates by addressing the multifaceted needs of adult learners. The initiative involves implementing a comprehensive data review and student progress monitoring system to enhance the effectiveness of Adult Education (AE) programs. This system will empower AE staff to identify barriers to High School Equivalency (HSE) and High School Diploma (HSD) completion, develop targeted solutions to overcome these obstacles, and provide holistic support through additional resources, mentoring, workshops, and activities tailored to the specific needs of adult learners.
Use the space provided to identify the Outcomes that the activity will accomplish in the next year (Short-Term), in one to three years (Intermediate), and in three to five years (Long-Term). The brief description of each of these three types of outcomes should include one or more outcomes that are specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART).
- Counselor Welcome video provided to students at orientation and before CASAS testing
- Pathway Counseling (Pathway goals, strengths, barriers)
- Counselor Workshops. Hold counselor-led virtual and in-person workshops for all students in areas of success strategies, career planning, CTE pathways, transition to post-secondary schools, etc
- Zero Credit Intervention Workshops

Objective #2: Improve Integration of Services & Transitions
Comprehensive career and education planning
Every student will be provided with personalized education and career planning goals based on career assessments. These efforts will be coordinated with workforce development agencies and Antelope Valley Community College to ensure comprehensive support. Each student, in collaboration with their school counselor and teacher, will develop a personalized “My Plan for the Future,” outlining their academic and career pathway. This plan will play a crucial role in supporting students' success in achieving their career and technical education (CTE) pathways and certifications, facilitating a smooth transition into the workforce and post-secondary education.
Use the space provided to identify the Outcomes that the activity will accomplish in the next year (Short-Term), in one to three years (Intermediate), and in three to five years (Long-Term). The brief description of each of these three types of outcomes should include one or more outcomes that are specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART).

- Share student progress at PLC and leadership team meetings and after implementation
- Implement career assessment tools for all students
- Train counselors and teachers on career planning tools and assessment interpretation
- Create an automated tracking system for student career plans
- 100% of students complete career assessments annually

Over the next three years, the consortium will strategically allocate adult education funds to support vital educational programs at AVAE while maximizing the impact of significant carryover funds. The consortium has designated all carryover funds from prior years for the construction of a comprehensive workforce development training center, representing a substantial investment in infrastructure that will enhance student opportunities and program delivery. The primary CAEP funding will be directed toward sustaining and strengthening the core daily operations of essential programs, including English Language (EL), High School Diploma/High School Equivalency (HSD/HSE), English Language Civics (EL Civics), and Career Technical Education (CTE) programs.
AVAE leverages multiple additional funding sources to support its educational initiatives. These resources include significant federal and state funding streams such as the National Science Foundation, CalWorks, Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA), California Adult Education Innovation (CAI) funds, and EL Healthcare Pathways grants. Additional grants have been submitted to aid in the completion of ongoing projects. These diverse funding sources are necessary to operate, complement CAEP funds, and enable the consortium to implement a more comprehensive approach to adult education.
By strategically combining CAEP funds with these additional resources, the consortium will implement the strategies outlined in the Three-Year Plan while maximizing operational efficiency and program effectiveness. The construction of the workforce development training center using carryover funds represents a transformative investment that will create a hub for career preparation and skills development. Meanwhile, the ongoing operational funding through CAEP ensures the sustainability of core educational programs that serve as the foundation of adult education in the region. The supplementary federal and state funding sources provide additional flexibility to enhance programs, develop innovative approaches, and create specialized pathways that align with workforce needs and student goals.
