Plans & Goals

Executive Summary

The SACC areas for focus in the Three-Year Plan, include improving outcomes for students in ABE/ASE across the consortium, as well as focusing efforts to assist students in their diploma completion through dual enrollment opportunities and more focused support systems. The SACC determined that the following objectives were both within our control and most essential in meeting the needs of the students in our area based on the needs assessment outcomes: Address Educational Needs - Improve GED and high school diploma completion rates; Improve Integration of Services & Transitions - Hire a consortium transition specialist; Improve Effectiveness of Services - Implement dual enrollment opportunities and create new bridge courses into Ohlone College's existing programs. The SACC will utilize CAEP funding to meet the goals in this Three-Year plan. For this first year, we will start to meet these goals in the following ways:

  • We will look into professional development opportunities, review options to update curriculum, and focus on improving instruction for ABE/ASE instructors.
  • We will start the process of hiring a consortia transition specialist by discussing with members who will "hire" the transition specialist, determine how the position will be paid, and come up with a job description.
  • We will research new dual enrollment opportunities, as well as new bridge and simultaneous support courses to increase post-secondary opportunities for students.

Consortium funds do not cover all expenses related to the needs of each school in the consortium. Evaluating funding for the next three years is an added challenge and is dependent on decisions taken by the federal government. Should WIOA funding be cut, the ability of the SACC to meet the goals in this plan will be greatly impacted. Utilizing other outside funding sources, including partner contributions and reserve funds will be imperative, but these funds will not be sufficient to meet the programming and staffing needs that have been identified through this planning process.

Assessment

Regional Needs Assessment

Please identify the categories of needs in your region.

Please identify resources used to identify these gaps.

In terms of meeting or Three-Year Plan goals we will gather feedback from ABE/ASE students, track and review success rates of ABE/ASE students, track student access to transition specialist services, track data on dual enrollment (including how many classes are offered, how many students enroll, and how many are successful in the classes).

The SACC will collect a variety of data from various sources (such as TE, stakeholder input, etc.) and review this data regularly at our monthly consortia meetings to determine how we are meeting the need gap(s) for our students.

Activities & Outcomes

Objective #1: Address Educational Needs

Implement in-person class/tutoring options for ASE

THREE-YEAR PLAN 2025-28

The SACC will add more in-person, structured class time tutoring time for the High School Diploma and GED Preparation students.  Students will be required to attend a minimum number of in-person sessions per week. Students who are not meeting regular class work hours will be required to attend in-person hours for additional assistance.  Instructors will be provided additional professional development and support to make the in-person instructional time more effective for students.  Success will be measured by an 5% increase in GED/high school diploma completion compared to 2022.

THREE-YEAR PLAN 2025-28

The SACC will explore and implement dual enrollment course options through Ohlone College that will be provided on the adult school campuses for students to take core English or other courses to accelerate their credit completion.  Adding dual enrollment options will improve high school diploma and GED outcomes through credit acceleration. Dual enrollment numbers will increase by 10% when comparing 2024-2025 to 2027-2028.

Fiscal Management

Alignment & Carryover

This Three-Year plan goals are focused on consortium metrics that directly related to how CAEP funding is spent.  The SACC will utilize funding across the consortium to improve GED and high school diploma outcomes, including spending funds on increasing in-person class time, professional development for instructors, and increasing dual enrollment opportunities on the adult school campuses.  The SACC will also determine how to pool resources to hire a consortium-wide transition specialist who will assist in meeting the goals in this Three-year Plan.  When the SACC schools have carryover funds, they are always minimal and are used first on appropriate program areas.  The SACC schools utilize the majority of their funds each year, providing essential program area courses for the community. Additional funds, such as WIOA II, CalWorks, and donations will be utilized to assist in meeting the goals of this Three-Year plan including utilizing funding to provide new courses ABE/ASE students to accelerate their learning and provide additional support (more in-person instruction/tutoring).  CalWorks will be used to provide supportive services for students to help them achieve their learning goals. Consortium funds do not cover all expenses related to the needs of each school in the consortium.  Evaluating funding for the next three years is an added challenge and is dependent on decisions taken by the federal government.  Should WIOA funding be cut in 2026-2027, the ability of the SACC to meet the goals in this plan will be greatly impacted.  Utilizing other outside funding sources, including partner contributions and reserve funds will be imperative, but these funds will not be sufficient to meet the programming and staffing needs that have been identified through this planning process. 

When the SACC schools have carryover funds, they are always minimal and are used first on appropriate program areas.
