Plans & Goals
Assessment
Activities & Outcomes
Objective #1: Address Educational Needs
Development and Enhancement of CTE
Objective #2: Improve Integration of Services & Transitions
Transitions to Postsecondary Education, Workforce
Consortium members (CNUSD, MVCAS, RCCD, Riverside Adult School, and RCOE Desert Edge) will significantly enhance transition services for students moving from adult education into postsecondary programs and employment. Dedicated Educational Advisors and counselors from RCCD colleges and member adult schools will provide individualized support, including academic advising, financial aid assistance, and career exploration services. Additionally, dual enrollment agreements and articulated pathways will be developed with local colleges to streamline transitions and reduce barriers to postsecondary education.
Key deliverables include increased advising hours, structured transition workshops (e.g., FAFSA, Dream Act), and formalized dual enrollment partnerships.
This activity directly advances CAEP’s objective of integrating services and transitions by establishing clear, supported pathways.
Short-term outcomes within one year will include at least one new dual enrollment partnership and increased student participation (5–10%) in advising services. Intermediate outcomes (1–3 years) will see measurable improvements in student transition rates to college and employment, increased college enrollments, and higher credential completion. In the long term (4–5 years), sustained improvements in educational attainment and economic mobility are anticipated.
This comprehensive activity addresses student barriers such as Low Income, English Language Learners, Long Term Unemployed, and Adults with Disabilities, contributing significantly to metrics such as:
- Participants
- Reportable Individuals
- Transition to CTE
- Transition to Non-Developmental Credit College Course
- Postsecondary Credential
- Diploma, GED, or Equivalency
- Workforce Preparation

Objective #3: Improve Effectiveness of Services
Implementing Student-Centered, Technology-Enhanced
RCCD, Jurupa Adult School, Riverside Adult School, and Moreno Valley Community Adult School will implement student-centered instructional models that integrate technology, differentiated learning, and contextualized instruction. Teachers will embed digital tools into classroom practice to better serve diverse learning styles, particularly for English learners, adults with disabilities, and low-literacy students. The activity will include tech-enhanced curriculum development, training in blended/hybrid formats, and improved access to digital resources for both educators and students.
Deliverables include new or revised curriculum modules, teacher training participation, and integration of learning platforms.
This directly supports CAEP’s effectiveness objective by modernizing instruction and increasing student engagement.
Short-term outcomes include the rollout of pilot digital learning modules. Intermediate outcomes (1–3 years) include measurable gains in digital literacy and content mastery. Long-term outcomes (4–5 years) include broader instructional transformation across the consortium.
The activity addresses barriers related to Digital Literacy, Low Income, Adults with Disabilities, and supports metrics including:
- Participants
- Reportable Individuals
- Workforce Preparation
- Completed Educational Functioning Level Gain
- ABE, ASE, ESL, CTE
- Postsecondary Credential
- Transition to CTE

Fiscal Management
Alignment & Carryover
Members of the ABOUT STUDENTS Consortium will use the allocated funds to provide instruction and support services in alignment with the California Adult Education Program (CAEP) guidelines. These allocations are strategically directed toward achieving the goals outlined in the 2025-26 Annual Plan and Three-Year Plan.
The consortium resources are focused on addressing the educational needs identified across Riverside County, the consortium has developed a range of strategies aimed at strengthening foundational skills, expanding equitable access to instruction, and aligning educational services with the specific needs of its diverse population. These strategies were informed by the Riverside Needs Assessment and are intended to directly respond to student feedback, labor market data, and institutional performance gaps.
The Riverside About Students Regional Consortium is committed to strengthening both the integration of services across partner systems and the effectiveness of transitions to postsecondary education and the workforce. Those strategies will be implemented through cross-agency collaboration, shared staffing models, coordinated systems, and ongoing use of data.
Additionally, the consortium is committed to improving the overall quality and effectiveness of adult education programs through shared instructional strategies, professional learning, system-wide data use, and internal collaboration. Members are focused on refining local and regional practices to support consistent, high-quality instruction and student outcomes across all sites.
All funds will be used to directly support the consortium’s mission of preparing students for higher education and career opportunities.
Consortium members will apply carry-over funds to complete activities outlined in the Three-Year Plan. Ongoing monitoring of carryover remains a standing item on the agenda at the consortium business meetings. Regional expenditure reports will continue to be shared with members to support effective fiscal management and minimize excess carry-over. In alignment with CAEP office guidance, funds are spent using a “first in, first out” approach. Member agencies remain committed to timely and appropriate spending to ensure they are well below the 20% carryover threshold. This proactive oversight allows the consortium to align financial decisions with strategic priorities.
