Executive Summary

Mendocino-Lake Adult and Career Education or ML ACE, started receiving funds and providing program for adult learners through the state grant, which was then called the Adult Education Block Grant (AEBG) in 2015. At that time, there was six (6) agency members plus Mendocino College, which was the fiscal agent and the administrator of the grant. The Adult Education Block Grant, which was under legislation AB 86, and AB 104, which is now known as the California Adult Education Program. Currently (February 2022), our consortium has grown to eleven agency members which serve two rural counties in Northern California stretching 3,200 square miles of Mendocino and the northern half of Lake County. Among the consortium members are eight (8) adult schools, two (2) Counties of Education offering CTE programs and Mendocino Community College District, which continues to be the fiscal agent and the administrator of the consortium. The majority of our adult schools offer high school diploma or high school equivalency certificates, ESL and Citizenship classes, Career Technical Education programs in the health care industry, classes for parents to support in K-12 success and programs for Adults with Disabilities (AWD). We are a collaborative, creative and resourceful group of educators and service providers committed to serve the needs of our diverse, rural and geographically spread-out communities within our two counties. Summary of consortium members and participants in three-year planning: We initiated our three-year planning process by first taking a self-assessment tool that measures the effectiveness of our consortium to provide educational training and services to the adult population in our region. Next, we reviewed our mission statement, the consortium’s previous goals and objectives written three years ago and evaluated these goals whether we had met these goals and objectives. Finally, we worked collaboratively and strategically to create new and/or revised specific, measurable, attainable and time-focused goals for 2022 to 2025. We utilized our consortium’s monthly meetings to review and assess these goals and objectives. We created our 2022-2025 goals and objectives with these three factors in mind: 1 assessment of our program gaps and needs, 2. regional data resources/tools (i.e. from the CAEP 2021 Fact Sheets) and 3, input from consortium members and community partners. During our strategic planning meeting, we invited community partners in different sectors of our community: county probation officers, members of tribal councils from different Native American communities in the region, workforce board members, Career Point partners, adult education teachers, superintendent of school districts, business development directors, etc. The strategic planning discussions were planned a 5-member strategic planning team comprised of an adult school principal, a student success coordinator, a co-coordinator of a remote adult school in our region, a classified administrative assistant and the consortium director. In the early years of AEBG, the consortium analyzed the Community survey data and determined that these programs are the greatest needs in our region: High school diploma or equivalency, expanding ESL classes offerings to adult school locations and short-term CTE courses in health care, construction/trade and business office skills. We will continue to effectively meet the goals and strategies identified from the previous 3-year planning, which are 1.to identify, develop and expand offerings of non-credit Mendocino College curriculum in our priority career education pathways, 2. To improve enrollment in existing programs based on community needs data 3. To create and implement strategies that improve the sustainability of our health care programs, 4 to improve access and availability of outside support agency services for our students 5. To finish the pathway maps in our priority career education areas, 6. to continue to collect, analyze and improve the accuracy of our student data, 7. To improve student retention rates from enrollment to completion of personal education goals, and 8. Equitably fill program gaps throughout consortium. These are the metrics that we have selected and included in our three year plan: Student Barriers: English language learner, low income and low literacy. For Progress: Functional level gains in ESL; for Transition: Participants with Transition to Postsecondary (CTE) and with Transition to Postsecondary (credit college);For Success: Participants Who Earn a High School Diploma or Equivalency and for Employment and Earnings :change in median earning. Our SMART goals include: By June 2025, to develop and expand those offerings based on the identified needs, create curriculum in the priority areas of business, construction trades and health care. In addition, by 2025,  to increase the number of  participants, persistence, completion, and transition rates by 5% .

Assessment

1. Training for high-touched consortium members: In early October of 2022, several high-touched consortium members committed to attending CAEP webinars on strategic planning.  These consortium members consistently participated in our consortium meetings, workgroup meetings and engaged fully in the mission of the consortium. These high-touched members became our strategic planning team.

2. Self-Assessment Tool: We initiated our consortium-wide three-year planning process by first taking a consortium wide self-assessment tool. This self-assessment tool was sent out to our consortium members and community partners, like Career Point. Career Point collaborates with us in providing wraparound services to help our adult students to get funding and stipends while they are in the health care programs.

This self-assessment tool was created to help consortia evaluate their effectiveness in the following key indicators: Capacity, Connection, Entry, Progress, and Completion/Transition. The result of our self-assessment tool indicated that the consortium averaged below a 3 out of 5 points on these three areas: entry, progress and completion/transition. We analyzed the areas where we fall below average: 

In the entry indicator, we scored below average on these measures of effectiveness:

o   Culturally responsive orientation for adult learners

o   access to high-quality counseling services

o   consistency among providers regarding assessment, placement, and use of individual learning plans

In the progress indicator, we scored below average on these measures of effectiveness:

o   Integrated education and training program offerings

o   Some contextualized ESL or basic skills Integrated Education Training (IET) courses

In the completion/transition, we scored below average on these measures of effectiveness:

o   Effectiveness in transitioning students into postsecondary and/or the workforce

o   Case managed transition support process

After synthesizing the result of the self-assessment tool, our strategic planning team presented the result to the whole consortium and we began the process of analyzing not only the self-assessment tool but also revisiting our mission statement.

3. Review of our mission statement. 

The mission statement of our consortium states that “the ML ACE consortium members are committed to collaborating and sharing resources throughout our region to provide adults with equitable, seamless and integrated educational and/or career pathways/services with multiple opportunities for successful entry and exit”.

We realized that vocabulary in the self-assessment tool is mirrored in our mission statement and therefore we wanted to evaluate how effective we were in fulfilling the mission of our consortium.

4. Evaluation of the consortium’s previous goals and objectives written three years ago:

The next phase in our strategic planning process was to evaluate the goals and objectives of the consortium written for the previous three years.  We evaluated whether we have met these goals and objectives in the last three years. We utilized our consortium’s monthly meetings to review and assess these goals and objectives. Furthermore, we discussed how we can collaboratively and strategically create new goals and strategies to be specific, measurable, attainable and time-focused goals for 2022 to 2025. In other words, to create SMART goals (specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, and time-bound)

5.  We then created our 2023-2025 goals and objectives with these three factors in mind: One, assessment of our program gaps and needs through the analysis of our self-assessment tool, two, our mission statement and evaluation of previous goals, in combination with the regional data resources/tools (i.e. from the CAEP 2021 Fact Sheets) three, and input from consortium members and community partners.

Regional Alignment of workforce services and adult education: 

Our two counties of Mendocino and Lake are incorporated in our Workforce Alliance of the North Bay (WANB) which partners with us in providing support services and leveraging funds for our CTE students enrolled in the CTE programs. WANB is an integral community partner with our consortium in leveraging needed economic support and employment services to our region. We actively participate in inter-agency partnerships as some consortium members of the ML ACE consortium are also members of the sub-committees for the Workforce Alliance of the North Bay. Secondly, Ukiah Adult School, a consortium member that offers multiple CAEP programs is a WIOA grant recipient that enrolls students who are benefitting from the  integration of our support services and leveraging of WANB WIOA Title I funds. In our strategic planning and process, we have included our WANB partners in our discussions on strategic planning and sought to incorporate their sector strategies in our goal setting and strategic educational activities. WANB’s sector strategies for their region outlines that they:

  • Identify the career pathways most critical to regional economic success;

  • Ensure that career pathway programs meet regional industry needs;

  • Define which postsecondary credentials are industry-valued and recognized, and the process for maintaining currency in this area;

  • Identify training and education deficiencies and the approaches to solving them;

  • Ensure that the voices of businesses are integral in determining policy priorities and strategies.

Similarly, Mendocino College is an integral member in our consortium work. Not only is Mendocino College our fiscal agent and administrator, but many of our non-credit courses in ESL, Basic Skills and CTE are offered by the college. In addition, the college provides student support services to our adult learners who need assistance in enrollment, educational planning access to financial aid, tutoring and other campus resources. Additionally, Mendocino College offers many non-credit AEP classes at our adult school locations. These classes are supported by the college’s unrestricted district funds and are leveraged with CAEP funding. In CTE program areas, the business, construction & trades and healthcare departments are key partners in both non-credit curriculum development and providing for-credit classes that are part of our priority pathways.

Mendocino College is the only community college in the two regions that strategically serves the counties of Mendocino and Lake counties with students coming from the inland towns all the way from coastal areas. The next community college to the south is Santa Rose Junior College, which is 60 miles away, and College of the Redwoods, which is 150 miles away. The main campus is in the city of Ukiah with three other satellite locations in Lakeport (Lake County), Fort Bragg (Coast Center) and in Willits (North Coast Center). Transportation and getting to the main campus and other adult school locations, which are geographically spread out, present challenges for our adult students living in remote towns who may not have access to transportation or personal cars.

According to the CAEP Fact Sheet taken from the American Community Survey Demographic Data of 2020, from Mendocino County and Lake County census, Mendocino and Lake counties have a population of about 95,000 who are over 16 years old and about 84% of that population are 30 years and older. Of the 95, 000 of the over 16 years old population, we have about 15,181 adults who do not have a diploma and about 3,323 English language learners, 24,383 who are at poverty line or below, 7337 who are unemployed and about 23,165 adults with disabilities.  From these data, the barriers that are challenges for our consortium as an educational institution center around, low literacy, low income, high number of English learners and unemployment. The Mendocino-Lake consortium encompasses two counties in geographically diverse areas in the northern and western sides of Northern California. Mendocino County includes the cities of Ukiah (the seat of the local government), Willits, Laytonville, Covelo inland and the coastal cities of Albion, Mendocino, etc. In all, there are about 28 small towns and even smaller communities like Covelo, Albion, Mendocino, etc. Also, only half of Lake County are included our consortium and half is part of the Central Coast Consortium. These areas include the towns of Upper Lake, Nice and Lucerne on the north side of the lake and the towns of Lakeport (county seat), Finley, Kelseyville and the housing communities of the Clearlake Riviera, Riviera West, Riviera Heights and Buckingham area. There are six school districts in Mendocino County and 2 school districts in Lake County that are members of our consortium. These are the school districts that are members of Mendocino-Lake Adult and Career Education Consortium: Willits Unified, Ukiah Unified, Anderson Valley Unified, Fort Bragg Unified, Leggett Valley Unified, Upper Lake Unified, Kelseyville Unified and Round Valley Unified. Due to the number and percentage of the adult population with no high school diploma, the number of language learners, and other statistics relevant to our adult population in the region as shown in the CAEP Fact Sheets of 2021, the consortium determined that these programs are the greatest needs in our region: High school diploma or equivalency, ESL classes and short term CTE courses in health care, construction/trade and business office skills. These school districts mentioned above have high diploma programs for adult students. Some of these adult schools like Anderson Valley, Fort Bragg, Leggett Valley and Round Valley are geographically isolated areas separated by winding roads and mountain passes with few industries and have higher numbers of adults with  low literacy, low income and English learners which have been barriers for many adults completing their success and completion in their program areas.  However, we have a bigger-size adult school, Ukiah Adult School which offer  not only high diploma in the correctional facility, but also GED prep and testing, Citizenship class, employment and coaching of adults with disabilities through the Ukiah Valley Association of Habilitation (UVAH) as well a robust vocational nursing program. Ukiah Adult School's varied offerings of programs have filled in the gaps for those programs that are needed in other hard to reach areas of the two counties. In addition to the high school diploma programs from our consortium, in Mendocino and Lake counties, there is a federally funded program called HEP (High School Equivalency Program) through the Office of Migrant Education that offers high school equivalency certificates via exams. The HEP program’s eligibility requirements include adults you have never had a high school diploma in the US, have worked at any point in their adult lives as seasonal agricultural workers and are living in the US. Those adults wanting a high school equivalency certificate but do not qualify as seasonal agricultural workers, are then enrolled in our consortium’s high school equivalency programs. ESL classes are offered by Mendocino College and courses are held in Fort Bragg, Anderson Valley, Round Valley, Lakeport, Willits and Ukiah campuses. The Fort Bragg Coastal Adult School also offers a multi-level ESL class and a citizenship class at the adult school are funded by CAEP funds. We will continue to expand ESL offerings in different adult school locations so that many more adults in our communities can access basic skills classes and obtain their high school diploma or equivalency certificates. The two counties of education, which are part of our consortium, offer programs in the heath care field. Mendocino County of Education's CTE program offers a dental assistant, phlebotomy and a medical assistant program. Lake Count of Education offers a certified nursing assistant and a medical assistant program that are critically needed at this time. These CTE programs have great successes and many of the graduates obtained sustainable jobs in our region.

Objectives

Address Educational Needs

From data in the CAEP Fact Sheets provided to the consortium which shows low number of adults with high school diplomas, high number of English learners and increase job demands in these industry sectors,  the consortium determined that these programs are the greatest educational needs in our region:

  • High school diploma or equivalency

  • ESL classes

  • Short term CTE courses in health care, construction/trade and business office skills

These are the SMART goals that the consortium members are committed to achieving to address these educational needs:

OBJECTIVE:  By June of 2023, identify non-credit curriculum in the priority pathways of business, construction, and healthcare. By June of 2025, develop and expand those offerings based on the identified needs.

OBJECTIVE:  By June of 2023, assess expanding credit and non-credit MC curriculum through the use of technology at various locations to offer hybrid synchronous instruction with onsite local tutor support. If deemed relevant, pilot up to three courses between 2024 and 2025.

OBJECTIVE:   By June 2025, 40% of ML ACE agencies will assist at least 10% of their participants to transition to post-secondary, which includes CTE and credit college courses. 


Improve Integration of Services & Transitions

We will continue to support the goals and strategies identified from the previous 3-year planning which include strategies: 

  • To create and implement strategies that improve the sustainability of our health care programs,

  • To improve access and availability of outside support agency services for our students

  • To finish the pathway maps in our priority career education areas,

  • To continue to collect, analyze and improve the accuracy of our student data

  • To improve student retention rates from enrollment to completion of personal education goals, 

  • Equitably fill program gaps throughout the consortium.

OBJECTIVE:  By June 2023, create a document (community catalog) to identify and define support services available for students and communicate those services and connections to all consortium members, with continuous updates going through 2025 and beyond. (academic, financial, housing, emotional, etc.)  

OBJECTIVE:  By June 2023, 75% of our consortium members will use Community Pro Suite to make referrals to another member or partner agency.

OBJECTIVE:  By June 2025, Career Point and the MLACE member agencies will be using Community Pro Suite monthly to make referrals and track activity.


Improve Effectiveness of Services

Here are the SMART goals that we would like to achieve in order to improve the effectiveness of our programs and services. Our strategies will focus on increasing the number of adults served to become participants, increase the number of students completing HSD or HSE and increase the number students transitioning to CTE:

OBJECTIVE:  By June 2025, the number of adults served who become participants (also known as persistence rate) will increase by 5%. 

OBJECTIVE:  By June 2025, the number of students completing a HSD or HSE will increase by 5%. 

OBJECTIVE:  By June 2025, the number of students transitioning from non credit to credit classes will increase by 5%.

OBJECTIVE:  By June 2025, the number of students transitioning to CTE will increase by 5%.

The CAEP allocation for this fiscal year slightly increased with the addition of COLA but no additional monies were given for enrollment in our CAEP-funded programs. Therefore, we will have to reconfigure and leverage existing funds to sustain most of our programs. However, during the pandemic, through the CARES Act from the college and districts, we were able provide students with hotspots to access Wi-Fi and internet for their virtual classes. We continued to fund our support specialists in remote areas so that students will have points of contact locally and connect them to transitional services whether in basic skills/ESL to existing CTE programs in our region.  Another use of our CAEP funds was our subscription to online referral system called Community Pro Suite as a valuable to tool to have seamless support and communication among agencies involved in wrap-around services for students. In addition, all our monthly consortium meetings were now done remotely, which has reduced travel expenditures for this fiscal year. In addition, during 2020-2021, we drastically reduced our expenditures for fee-based professional development activities but we continued to attend webinars, conferences and workshops via online. In the next three years there will be uncertainty about the return to in person classroom instruction as the only method of instruction. Undoubtedly, the combination of virtual and/hybrid classes are more advantageous to adult students, thus there will be increase expenditures in paying for instructors, for stronger Wi-Fi connectivity and more student-friendly technology. In terms of carryover funds, we will continue to incorporate remaining carry-over funds from prior year(s) into strategies planned for the next fiscal year. Each member agency provides their internal plan for spending down their carry-over funds, which include strategies that are aligned with our current 3-year plan. Our policy includes language that ensures the agency can only spend the funds on current approved programs and activities from the original approved project-based proposals or previously MOE funds. ML ACE created an internal mini-grant allocation process for non-MOE funds.. Over the past three years, ML ACE agencies have submitted proposals for on-going programs/projects. These projects are reviewed and revised, denied or approved. In November, of each program year, member agencies provide a detailed presentation to the consortium that shows how the funds are spent
