- Funding Channel
- Direct Funded
- Narrative
- In 2020-21, CCCAEC entered the second year of its 2019-22 Three-Year Adult Education Plan and made progress towards meeting stated goals and objectives outlined in both the CCCAEC s California Adult Education Program (CAEP) annual plan and the Three-Year Plan. The 2021-2022 planned allocation, as outlined in this year s CFAD, provides CCCAEC member agencies with the funding levels to continue making progress toward the identified goals of enhancing and expanding the current level of adult education, improving adult learner access and outcomes, and continuing to strengthen a coordinated regional adult education network that includes aligned and articulated curricula, co-located programs, transitional supports, and responsive referral pathways for essential support services. In 2020-2021, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, CCCAEC agencies shifted to providing services remotely. For most of the year agencies did not provide in-person courses for students but did have limited lab-based and hands-on learning components (particularly for culinary, nursing, EMT, lab-based sciences) as well as testing available on-site. In line with its annual plan goals, the CCCAEC adapted strategies to remove technology barriers for adult learners and increase access including: 1) Using phone-based applications for lesson planning and coursework, when appropriate; 2) Providing laptops and tablets for students, when possible; 3) Providing Wi-Fi hotspots in site parking lots for students to utilize; 4) Offering on-site workspaces and access to technology for CASAS/GED testing and classwork; and 5) Including asynchronous components for the majority of courses to provide learners with greater flexibility. Combined with efforts to bolster professional development supports for instructors, these strategies resulted in the CCCAEC maintaining relatively stable levels of enrollment during 2020-21. As education sites re-open for in-person service delivery in 2021-2022, the CCCAEC will continue to utilize CAEP funding to make progress toward meeting the goals and objectives outlined in both the annual adult education plan and three-year plan. The CCCAE will leverage opportunities to optimize efficiency and maximize the impact of CAEP funding through continued advancement of its sub-regional approach to planning and implementation. This will ensure that all Consortium work is sufficiently tailored to the unique needs of the different communities served by CCCAEC programs across the County. The CCAEC will also seek to maximize program impacts through continued exploration of emerging best practices and lessons learned during the previous year related to implementation of distance and hybrid learning platforms, streamlined member communication, and leveraged resources across partners.
- Changes
- The CCCAEC s 2021-22 CFAD has changes in funding amounts to all members from their 2020-21 CFAD allocation.

The CCCAEC members developed and approved the 2021-22 CAEP allocation budget through the annual budget development process as outlined in the CCCAEC s governance document. The final allocation budget outlined in this CFAD was approved by board-designated, voting members at the CCCAEC Steering Committee, a public meeting, held remotely on April 15, 2021.
