Number Passed

Long term Trend


Numbers Take-away

• Folks are working, which is good, but may be missing out on the current window of opportunity to skill up and move up.

• ABE programs can support folks in skilling up by expanding both:– partnerships with post-secondary education and

training providers, i.e. career pathway models, and – by supporting for incumbent workers, i.e.

workplace programming.


Law/Statute Updates

• Adult Diploma• Pell Grants and Ability to Benefit• WIOA– Adult Career Pathways– College and Career Ready Standards


Adult Diploma

• Adult Diploma– 19 and 20 year olds now eligible– Still in pilot phase• Second pilot cohort to be added mid-year

– Awarding diplomas• Accepted by employers• Accepted by MnSCU

– More info available at adult diploma breakout sessions


Ability to Benefit

• Ability to Benefit restored for students in pathways that include integrated education and training (IET) support provided by ABE

• That means:– Students w/out a high school diploma or GED,– Who score above Ability to Benefit Accuplacer cut

score, and– Enrolled in qualifying programs that include IET

provided by ABE are Pell eligible• For more info, contact Julie Dincau


Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA)

• 2015-16 Transition Year– WIA Reporting Requirements– WIOA Implementation Requirements

• IEL/Civics (English, Civics, Work Prep, Work Training)• Begin implementation of College and Career Ready

Standards • Develop state and local plans

• 2016-17 and beyond– WIOA Reporting Requirements– Changes to grant application process for 2017-18


Change


Some Sources

• Expectations– Secondary Credential to Post-secondary and

industry recognized credentials• Technology– Labs to online, distance ed, mobile

• Professional practice– National Academy of Sciences Reading Panel 1998

• Performance-based– Standardized testing, outcomes measures


MN ABE Adaptation

• Collegial, collaborative culture• Economies of Scale– Consortium Model– Regional Transitions– Supplemental Services System• Which grew out of early MLC and Literacy Training

Program Standards


WIOA and ABE

• Partner in providing:• Local/regional workforce development systems that include an

array of career pathways that:• are responsive to both worker and employer needs;• are labor market information (LMI) driven;• align as many resources as possible, in a

collaborative/coordinated/non-duplicative way, in support of folks traversing the career pathways.

• Provide instruction and education services– below the postsecondary level – that increase individual’s attainment of the knowledge and skills

articulated in state content standards.


Career Pathway Programming


Content Standards

Requirements• WIOA requires that:– State ABE systems implement content standards

that align to state K-12 academic standards (WIOA, Title I A Section 102(2)D(ii)).

– U.S. Department of Education revise the NRS level descriptors to align to the CCRS.

– the U.S. Department of Education have pre- and post-tests aligned to the CCRS in Language Arts and Math (scheduled for PY 2017-18

Purpose• Content standards:– Describe what students should know and be

able to do upon successful completion of an instructional program.

– Provide the foundation for designing curricula, instruction, and assessment.

• Content do not:– Dictate the types of lesson plans, activities,

or teaching methods to be used in the classroom.

Benefits :• Provide teachers and administrators with:

– a shared vision for adult education– a common language for discussing outcomes, and – guidelines for structuring curriculum, instruction, and assessment. Content

standards.• Provide students:

– guideposts to follow as they make progress, giving them more responsibility for their learning and helping them design their own goals, and

– assure that high-mobility students and students who “stop out” have access to a logical, predictable set of skills all teachers/programs are working toward

• Provide stakeholders (i.e., postsecondary institutions, vocational programs, employers) – a description what adult education students know and are able to do which helps

inform collaboration and coordination of services and employment decisions.

Minnesota ABE Miracle

• 5 Components1. Strong culture of collaboration2. Well funded system

• Only a handful of states have similar funding levels

3. Integration of literacy volunteers• In many states the federally/state funded system and

volunteers systems do not collaborate

4. Consortium and Supplemental Services Models create economies of scale• Making possible better services to our students and the

programs that serve them


Most Important Component

5. All of us– Minnesota ABE’s highly skilled, dedicated and

caring workforce and volunteers: teachers, support professionals, resource professionals and administrators.
