Objectives
Address Educational Needs
To meet the needs of the more than 5,500 English Language Learners in San Luis Obispo County, the SLOCAEC members have determined that Cuesta College will provide English as a Second Language (ESL) programming throughout the county in collaboration with K-12 member districts. This decision was made through the strategic planning process and data review of ESL enrollments and student success measures by each member district. SLOCAEC consortia members recognize the commitment and investment Cuesta College has made in adult education through the Continuing Education Department and has approved Cuesta College to take the lead in offering the English as a Second Language program. Cuesta College’s ESL program was established 32 years ago, and has since developed into a comprehensive sequence of beginner to advanced level courses. Over the last few years, the program has undergone several major changes, as it has evolved and responded both to statewide success measures and the needs of the local ESL student population. The consortium will leverage resources to expand, improve, and align English as a Second Language programming throughout the consortium. Cuesta College will collaborate with K-12 member districts to utilize elementary school facilities, integrate outreach, increase access to technology for students, expand ESL course offerings throughout rural communities in the county, targeting socio-economically disadvantaged ESL populations. This commitment to leveraging resources and increasing collaboration among consortia members will provide opportunities to increase college and career pathways and develop innovative student support services that promote seamless transitions.
The consortia will continue with a High School Diploma/High School Equivalency workgroup that consists of administrators, faculty, and staff to improve curriculum and quality of instruction. Consortia members will offer various instructional modalities throughout the county to improve HSD/HSE curriculum. Consortia are working to increase course rigor and develop exit assessments to identify student progress and transition readiness.
Cuesta College is the sole provider of Adults with Disabilities programming and will continue to collaborate with community partners to re-build the program as we move past the pandemic.
The consortia will continue to develop bridge programs and vocational and workforce preparation courses to help students transition successfully to the workforce and post-secondary education.
Members will collaborate with the Workforce Development Board to develop industry-driven career pathways that prepare students for in-demand occupations in high growth industry sectors based on annual labor market data and review.
Improve Integration of Services & Transitions
The SLOCAEC consortium members have improved and increased collaboration that will directly impact the success of how we integrate services and successfully transition students to postsecondary education and the workforce. Consortium members are increasing academic rigor and implementing program improvements that will ensure students are better prepared for postsecondary education. Consortia members are developing bridge programs using the IBEST model to better prepare students to enter and promote in the workforce.
The consortium is reviewing the student onboarding experience to better align with the guided pathways framework to ensure students are informed of options and motivated to reach their short and long term goals.
Cuesta College has two Academic Success Coaches that will work with all students enrolled in programs throughout the consortia to assist with their academic success, provide holistic and academic support, and help students reach their goals. These positions will work within inner agencies to provide program information and student support resources that Cuesta College offers as well as AJCC and other workforce opportunity programs. These positions will be the liaison between adult education programing and postsecondary education and the workforce.
The consortia is prioritizing it's program alignment, service integration, and continuous improvement using data to support evidence-based decision making.
