Objectives
Address Educational Needs
The following was used to both identify the regional education needs and associated programs currently planned for 2022-2025: Marin County geographical data taken from the 2017-2020 WANB WIOA Local Strategic Plan, 2018 Labor Market Data Report, 2018 US Census Bureau Quick Facts, WANB 2018 Regional Overview, and American Community Services 2018. Four program areas are offered:
English as a Second Language The consortium has ESL classes strategically placed to serve the entire county. Classes in Novato & San Rafael serve populations with the highest poverty levels in Marin (Census Fact Finder).
Short term CTE: In the area of developing entry level jobs with viable career paths, the MCCD (Marin Community College District) has partnered with Canal Alliance to offer a Construction Fundamentals program (E2C) while TUHSD provides a Home Health Care Aide course, and all members continue support of the North Bay TIPS program. Career Technical Education program development aligns with regional workforce needs and targets career pathways that provide a livable wage, with the goal to focus on industries that pay a minimum of $20 hourly.
Parent Child success: The Marin County Office of Education, in conjunction with Marin school districts and community partners, support adult education training classes, workshops and activities for parents, guardians and adults who support K-12 students. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the lack of digital literacy and the lack of access to technology is apparent among Marin’s historically underserved community members in the Latinx community. Going forward, there will be a targeted focus on digital literacy as a major component of the Parent-Child Success program in the county. Digital literacy skill building will be concentrated in districts with large populations of newcomer families and adults in need of support and bilingual services.
High School Diploma/High School Equivalency: High school diploma/high school equivalency programming is offered by three MAEP members, TUHSD, SRCS, NUSD. SRCS offers a high school equivalency program to Newcomer high school students who age out of SRCS without attaining a high school diploma. San Rafael City Schools educates the majority of the high school newcomer students in the county. Tamalpais Adult School and Novato Adult School serve adult school students from San Rafael who are working towards high school diploma/equivalency in addition to in-district students who need to earn a GED or diploma.
Improve Integration of Services & Transitions
Objectives:
- Strengthen partnerships (local, state, and federal);
- Leverage funding, when possible, to minimize the impact of limited resources for MAEP;
- Provide programs in high need areas (ESL, GED/Diploma, CTE);
- Use data to evaluate program effectiveness, build programs and where to offer classes;
- Provide bilingual student support services, marketing, and outreach;
- Ensure adult learners served in Marin County have access to digital literacy skills and resources across all members and partner programs;
- Provide ongoing professional development and training for staff and onboarding to new adult education administrators as needed.
Many of the students served in Marin County member and partner sites have been historically underserved in education. Marin County adult learners served by MAEP members report at least one or more barriers regarding transition to employment, secondary education including ESL and GED/Diploma and enrollment into higher education. The goal of each member and partner is to disrupt this systemic pattern and ensure all adult learners in Marin County’s four adult education areas have access to educational programs that benefit them and their families.
As of January 2022, Marin County has 5.5% unemployment (EDD). 6.9% of residents live in poverty and 21% speak a language other than English at home (2019222.censusreporter.org). The current living wage in Marin County is $28.00/hour for a single adult, $36.35/hour for a family of four with two working adults (https://livingwage.mit.edu/counties/06041 ).
Improve Effectiveness of Services
The MAEP Annual Plan is discussed and updated annually. Consortium-wide data including but not limited to enrollment, graduates, transitions meetings, programs offered, CASAS pre- and post-test comparisons, member end-of-year reports are shared and discussed at scheduled MAEP meetings. Programs and services are constantly reviewed and analyzed by all MAEP members and partners, and directions are changed as needed, ex. COVID-19 pandemic. Data are shared with member district administration and community stakeholders.
Activities & Outcomes
Monitor student data on progress and outcomes
Objective that Applies to this Activity
Improve Effectiveness of Services
MAEP will continue to collect and analyze student data including enrollment, attendance, and outcomes and census to make data-based decisions on program offerings, concentrating on the underserved communities in the county.
The consortium members will collect and report data from CASAS for members to assess enrollment by program area. Other data sources that are referenced include monthly EDD LMI, census data, Launchboard, Dataquest. The consortium will review and assess these data to help in determining gaps in courses offered. Members will focus on maintaining data integrity, performing student updates, and meeting CAEP program goals.
Have consortium Program Outreach & Support Coordinator collect and share data with all members for their review and agreement. Collect and create year-to-year comparisons.
Provide needed programs in areas of greatest need such as ESL in San Rafael, Novato and West Marin. Address continuing need for technology classes for adults supporting child success.
More student participants in ESL and adult technology classes.

Increase marketing and outreach
Objective that Applies to this Activity
Address Educational Needs
The consortium Program & Outreach Support Coordinator will re-establish contact with local CBO's and adult education stakeholders post-COVID, in order to update county members on current program offerings at all county adult school locations. Program Outreach & Support Coordinator began work with the county Public Defender's office to participate in the "Clean Slate" program to assist justice involved adults access services, education, and employment
Increase and reinstate marketing and outreach to increase student enrollment, post-COVID.
In addition to consortium marketing and outreach, begin working with community partners who can refer students to adult ed. New WDB agency, Equus operating Career Point Marin, is starting up in Marin County in 2022 and will explore co-locating with adult ed consortium members.
Increased marketing and outreach will allow for a more robust referral process enabling greater awareness of available programs for historically underserved adults.
Moving out of pandemic restrictions will allow adult schools to work closely, again, with partners in the community to cross refer students to eligible programs and services.

Update the Consortium Governance Plan and By Laws
Objective that Applies to this Activity
Improve Effectiveness of Services
Instill a regularly scheduled review of the Consortium's Governance Plan and Bylaws to ensure students are served, members are accountable, and each member attains educational goals. ESL instruction is a priority at this time, but scheduled reviews are needed to ensure current student needs are met.
The Consortium Governance Plan should enhance the delivery of education to adults.
Members to review current Governance Plan and Bylaws at consortium meetings and work groups to propose updates by October 2022.
Ensure the priorities of the Consortium and CAEP are addressed and served. Data collection reports will help in this analysis.
Complete the Governance Plan and Bylaws review and schedule the next update in Fall 2025. Instill a disciplined schedule of review for future years.

Marin Community College District (MCCD) will continue to allocate CAEP apportionment funds to members. Funding will be allocated as determined by the Consortium based on each member’s school/program-area funding needs, value of carry-over funding, availability of other funding sources, capacity, student success rates and community need. On determination of the Consortium, carry-over CAEP funding may be reallocated to members with financial need.
For 2022-25, MAEP members will use CAEP and other sources of funding as follows:
COM: In addition to Strong Workforce funds, MCCD will leverage district funding supplemented with CAEP funding to advance noncredit ESL programs and activities, noncredit, Short-Term CTE, and the courses and programs serving Adults with Disabilities.
MCOE: CAEP funding will supplement general funds to support adults caring for K12 students in an Alternative Education program, provide help to 18-year-old students in a modified “5th-year” program in attaining a high school diploma/equivalent, and to continue Para-educator Trainings for adults hoping to work in K12 schools. MCOE will use limited CTEIG/Strong Workforce funding for CTE classes that will include adult students.
NUSD: In addition to CAEP funds, NUSD will use CALWORKS and periodic grants to help eliminate barriers for adult ed students. Support has included curriculum material, Chromebooks, and fee waivers for testing. NUSD will also leverage funding to continue providing ESL, Basic Skills, and HSE classes.
TUHSD: Modest funding outside of CAEP includes WIOA Title II, in-kind donations for classrooms at co-located offsite locations, and a small reserve including CALWORKS funding and fees collected from Pearson Vue test center examinees. TUHSD leverages all available funding in the operation of its WASC accredited school to provide free classes in CTE, ESL, and HSE.
SRCS: CAEP funds will provide in person instruction to Newcomer SRCS students- working adults who need specialized instruction in high school credit coursework to earn a diploma. SRCS also uses CAEP funding to offer non-credit ELD classes to SRCS students and the community at large. District funding provides necessary infrastructure for Adult School operations.
SUSD: CAEP funds will provide ESL classes through the Marin County Public Library, short-term ServSafe CTE classes, and classes in effective use of technology to aid families in accessing SUSD student portals. The library may provide in-kind classroom space.
