Plans & Goals

Executive Summary

The Inland Adult Education Consortium (IAEC) is in California’s Inland Empire, and covers a mix of urban, suburban, and rural geography. The region is in San Bernardino County; the largest county in the United States. There are five CAEP Consortia inSan Bernardino County. IAEC consists of eight Member districts: Colton JUSD, Redlands USD, Rialto, USD, San Bernardino CityUSD, Yucaipa-Calimesa JUSD, San Bernardino County Office of Education, Crafton Hills College, San Bernardino Valley College.

In keeping with the Collective Impact approach of having the region work together, IAEC has kept the spirit of collaboration central in all decision making. This Annual Plan serves as the cornerstone for the Consortium toward the realization of the vision and goals of working together to create regional stability among adult education service providers while keeping in alignment with the San Bernardino County Workforce Development Board’s Vision2Succeed initiative. By partnering with community service providers including businesses, government and CBOs, the Consortium continues to work toward creating a comprehensive regional approach for students by providing tools and support for their progression along their educational career pathways.

The Consortium implementation of services during the 2022-2025 Three-Year Plan years is based on refinements to theRegionalComprehensive Plan, data from Member Districts, LMI data, and strategies designed to directly impact the unmet academic needs of adult learners living within the region. The Consortium leadership chose three priority areas, with the goal of addressing the largest gaps in program area offerings to adult students. The three priority areas were HighSchoolDiploma/High School Equivalency, Basic Skills, Career and Technical Education, and English as a Second Language. The Community College District implemented successful programs that were previously piloted for non-credit basic skills math.

In addition, counselor/transition specialists were hired to assist in transitioning students from both noncredit to credit coursework at the college and work with each Adult Schools to transition students to postsecondary pathways. IAEC continues to embrace the opportunities to work regionally on the assessment and placement of students, use of student data in program design, address further gaps in services, and identify ways to support accelerated learning programs for students' academic pathways and/or career goals. IAEC will also expand the offerings of CTE courses across the region. The region will work together on continuing the implementation of a Consortium-wide professional development calendar and build additional relationships with more community partners to better leverage existing resources.

IAEC is committed to aligning with the CAEP State Priorities and the AB104Objectives and Program Areas. The IAECExecutiveCommittee recognizes that Adult Education is a key component in building community equity across the region we serve. As the region emerges from the COVID-19global pandemic, the IAEC Executive and Steering Committees are committed to providing the highest quality adult education services to the learners we serve as we begin to rebuild the vibrant economy of the Inland Empire. 

Research from the Centers of Excellence raised new industry subgroups for the Consortium Member Districts to consider when discussing program evaluation. The top 5 industries adding jobs to the subregion are Government, Health Care and Services, and Administrative/Support/Waste Management & Remediation. These industries are projected to contribute 32.1% of the total subregion’s job growth through 2027.

Social Assistance, Transportation and Warehousing, Accommodation and Food

Finally, 2020 Census data identified the Inland Empire as being one of the fastest growing regions in the country, represented through affordable housing and growth in industry sectors. As such, IAEC strives to address the educational needs of those residents who are not able to participate in this growth due to barriers such as education, training, or other factors which limit participation in the region's fast growing economy. 

An Annual Plan Retreat was held on May 29, 2024. Attendees included representatives of all Member Districts, community stakeholders and partners, and Consortium Directors from across the Inland Empire. Details of this meeting can be found below. 

Regional Planning Overview

With a renewed commitment to collective impact and the CAEP initiative, this plan was developed in a spirit of collaboration and partnership. During the 2024-2025 program year, IAEC will primarily address gaps in service and seamless transitions. Additionally, the Consortium will deploy methods to support accelerated learning programs for students in their academic pathways and/or career goals and long- and short-term CTE certifications.

IAEC Member Districts will implement the Board-approved 2022-2025 Three-Year Plan. 


Meeting Regional Needs

Regional Need #1

Gaps in Service / Regional Needs

IAEC Member Districts engage in ongoing analyses to identify gaps in services, and adjust programs accordingly at the Member level that support career and academic pathways leading to increased wages and/or transitions to postsecondary institutions.The IAEC Executive Committee recognizes that Adult Education is a key component in building community equity across the region we serve. Through multiple planning sessions with Member Districts and community partners, and the use of a professional facilitator, Gaps in Services were identified and agreed upon by all IAEC Member Districts and Partners. These include consensus workshops, steering committee meetings, LMI data analysis, and ongoing engagement with parallel state initiatives. During the 2024-2025 implementation year, Rim of the World will join the Consortium as a voting, non-funded Member district and begin the planning phase to become a funded Member.  

How do you know? What resources did you use to identify these gaps?

On May 29, 2024, members of the Inland Adult Education Consortium, community stakeholders, and guests gathered in an annual planning retreat to share information and collaboratively agree on strategies for the 2024-25 program year. Mauricio Arellano, Superintendent of the San Bernardino Unified School District, kicked of the meeting with an inspirational welcome which captured the many changes the Consortium has undergone over the past decade, included his own pathway as a child growing up in San Bernardino, and emphasized the growth and evolution that has taken place throughout the Consortium. 

Next, Crystal Nacio gave a presentation on the StrongWorkforce Program, funded by the State of California, which aims to “spur career technical education (CTE) in the nation’s largest workforce development system of 115 colleges” through an annual investment of $248million. Dr. Nacio shared the goals of the Strong Workforce initiative in the Inland Empire, strategies for implementation, and expected outcomes. 

The annual planning process concluded with lunch, with a brief facilitated reflection on the information that had been presented in the morning. Consortium members agreed that the information was  valuable and will be taken into consideration as they continue their programs. One member commented that the labor market information is particularly helpful and “should be in the hands of every student”. 

Consortium members then reviewed their 2024-25 annual plan and noted (on posted flip charts) each strategy they will keep in the new plan (indicated by writing the letter “K”) and made note of anything new or changed. All strategies will be continued(as documented on the following pages). Emma Diaz, Consortium Director, asked each member what capital outlays exceeding $5,000 they anticipate, and those notes are also captured here. Lastly, the group was polled on Professional Development needs, training needs, and any toipcs not covered during the facilitated event.
