- Narrative
- RHRAEC continues serving adult students, producing positive outcomes and providing exceptional education and training. In these unprecedented times, RHRAEC has and continues to rise to the challenge of finding new and creative ways to serve adult students. Prior to the Covid 19 Virus, each member agency was following the 2019/2020 Annual Plan aiming to fulfill the 3 Year Plan s goals. In order to be accountable to each other and transparent, member agencies held data meetings which included data systems personnel. Each member agency shared data with each other and reviewed it. Two meetings were held and a third was planned but had to be postponed due to the State s mandate to stay at home (Covid-19 Virus). The results of these meetings helped each member agency to review what was working as well as what needs to improve. Alike meetings were also held and member agencies staff were invited. These meetings were received well and staff requested their continuance. All member agencies were in the process of beginning new courses when Covid-19 forced their shutdown. Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs have been greatly affected by not being able to complete internships, externships, hands-on applications and testing with proctors. Although Covid-19 brought the world to its knees, RHRAEC s administrators, instructors and staff continue to provide extraordinary teaching and support educating adult students via distance education.
- Changes
- Covid-19 has not only changed how we conduct normal business; it has also changed how we will provide meaningful services and instruction. CTE programs will need the greatest support to continue to assist adult students become completers in their programs. Nonetheless, this challenge will be met with the determination, persistence and compassion of our member agencies. We will continue to focus on our objectives and find a way to continue providing and assisting our students reach their goal.
