Learn about the CA Adult Education strategic plan at http://www.otan.us/strategicplanning/index.html.  The Needs Assessment is now posted.

The strategic plan will use a system-wide perspective in addressing the need for adult education in California. The plan will reflect an assessment of the context for adult education that considers economic, demographic “driving forces”, statewide educational needs, the federal and state policy environment, system strengths, and comparative information from other states.

Central to the planning process is defining a strategic position that describes the unique value-added role of adult education within the state’s education system and economy.

Today begins the last week of our first session of managed enrollment.  How are we doing?  Our attendance numbers are down…but our persister rates and average gains are up!  Remember, at NMUSD Adult School, we’re about SUCCESS…not just access!

To determine and compare our rates of persistence, we identified the percentage of paired scores at the end of Post Test I Week,  2009 and compared it with the percentage of paired scores at the end of Post Test I Week,  2008.  We also looked at a comparison of our average gains.  Click here for the data.
