Activities & Outcomes
Objective #1: Address Educational Needs
Expand ABE Offerings
The Adult Education Program of CMC will offer more courses in basic education reading, math, and English in order to promote literacy and numeracy in the community and to bridge the gap of under-skilled students at the college and under-skilled potential workers and the unemployed.
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).
In 2025-2026, more reading classes will be launched, the qualified faculty hired or put in place, and the texts purchased. This will be an increase of three courses from just one, and students with CASAS scores representing low literacy will increase by 50%
In the intermediate, a certificate will be created to promote college readiness and/or basic English readiness. This will increase by 10% each year the number of students who move into a higher course. Basic Math and English registration will also increase by 10%.
In the longer term, students who have increased levels from reading to basic English and then completion of basic English and math courses will then be more prepared to enter the workforce or to complete credit programs at the college. This goal will contribute a 10% increase in the number of low-literacy and low English skills students to move forward to higher levels of education or into the workforce.

Expand Skills Offerings
The Adult Education Program of CMC will offer more courses in basic skills such as digital literacy, keyboarding, Microsoft, resume writing, and others as needs are identified to bridge the gaps for those under-skilled students and workers seeking employment, higher education, or entry into CTE programs.
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).
Launch at least one new basic skills course, achieving a 100% increase in enrollment into basic skills courses since there aren't any yet.
In one to three years, the Adult Education Program at CMC will launch several new skills courses, increasing student employment and enrollment into CTE programs and higher education by 20%.
In 3-5 years, 10% of CMC's Adult Education Program students will have gained employment, gained entry into a CTE program, or entered higher education.

Objective #2: Improve Integration of Services & Transitions
Expand Access to In-House Services
The Adult Education Program of CMC will offer more in-house basic needs services through our counseling department; more access to technology through laptop loaners; more in-house accommodations, DSPS counseling, and 504 plans through our DSPS counselor. This will contribute to our adult students' ability to receive necessary services for their success without having to go outside the program, thus improving integration of services.

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).
In the next year, one of these service programs will be launched, and then another (or more) with each progressing year.
In 1-3 years, three of these service programs will be launched, and persistence will improve by 20%.
In the long term, 20% of the Adult Education Program's basic-needs services participants will have gained measurable skills and EFL gains thanks to those services.

Expand Workshop Offerings
The Adult Education Program of CMC will offer workshops to its students and to the community. These will comprise basic skills, work skills, life skills, and counseling days. These new offerings will be at both of our sites across the Basin and contribute to the students transitioning into employment, CTE programs, and higher education.

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).
In the next year, one of these workshops will be launched and established into a regular location and schedule, and then another (or more) workshops will be added with each progressing year.
In 1-3 years, students who participated in Adult Education Program's workshops will demonstrate a 10% increase in transitioning to their next goal, whether that be in employment or education, or both.
In 3-5 years, students who participated in Adult Education Program's workshops will demonstrate a 20% increase in transitioning to their next goal, whether that be in employment or education, or both.

Create Certifications and Noncredit Pathways
The Adult Education Program of CMC will establish series classes in ESL, basic skills, and basic education, after which certifications will be added. The certifications will stack toward educational functioning level gains, such as transitioning into higher level classes or credit education at a university or college. The certifications will also help to create pathways to CTE programs. This will contribute to addressing the improved transitions metric and help the community to overcome the low-income barrier.

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).
In the short-term, students will enjoy receiving certificates of completion that suggest new pathways to education, employment, and CTE programs.
In 1-3 years, the stacked certifications will lead to educational functioning level gains as well as increased persistence in the Adult Education Program as measured by the NRS report.
In 3-5 years, this goal will have supported an increase in graduation or completion rates, persistence in the program rates, and reportable participation rates, all measured in TopsPro and NRS reports.

Objective #3: Improve Effectiveness of Services
Increase Community Awareness
The Adult Education Program of CMC will increase advertising to promote all of the new courses, programs, and certifications laid out in this plan; the Consortium will also expand engagement at local school and business events toward making the community more aware of our services; and engaging with the justice-involved and the under-served in our community will also be a goal. Advertising and greater community engagement will improve the effectiveness of our services by letting the community know that we have these offerings at their disposal.

In one year, we will have sent out at least two blanket mailer campaigns and joined several events.
In 1-3 years, the Adult Education Program will be known to more people in the community, thus increasing enrollment as measured in TopsPro.
In 3-5 years, advertising and community engagement will have streamlined and cemented the effectiveness of our services.

Form Community Partnerships
The Adult Education Program of CMC will create partnerships with community and regional agencies toward improving the effectiveness of our services in accordance with community and regional needs. These entities may include but are not limited to the San Bernardino County Workforce Development Board, local entities who oversee the justice-involved, and agencies that serve the marginalized, such as the unhoused, those with disabilities, or those seeking shelter from violence.
