Narrative
The LBAEC identified four major goals through its pre-planning assessment, review of labor market information, and thorough review of the community needs in the region. These include: 1. Leveraging consortium resources and partnerships to strategically recruit students. 2. Creating diverse programming to meet the community s needs. 3. Meeting the workforce demands of a changing economy. 4. Streamlining access to services provided by consortium partners and community members to ensure seamless transitions and support for students. LBAEC will promote professional development for faculty and staff through systemic training, as well as collaborate with community partners, to leverage its collective strength to minimize barriers to education, and increase the access to services and programs using culturally competent strategies for the Long Beach community. The planned allocations are consistent with these goals and will lead to short-term and long-term impact on the adults in this region. Long Beach School for Adults in committed to offering the region a variety of classes to meet educational needs while following the consortiums three-year plan. LBSA continues to offer 4 levels of ESL, High School Diploma, HiSET Prep and Distance learning, Animal Care, C.N.A. and Custodial Class as approved by the LBUSD. This year LBSA was able to add another Beginning ESL class in the evening to get students off the wait list, and also offered a level 1 and level 2 ESL computer class at the Hill Street Campus. LBSA has two off-site LBUSD locations offering ESL classes to parents. We are focused on stretching the allocation out to serve as many students possible. LBCC has continued to develop new noncredit programs and courses. As of Fall 2020, we have 98 noncredit courses and 37 CDCP programs. This represents a growth of 97% in courses and 36% growth in the number of programs. Between 2018-19 and 2019-20 there was a 43% increase in the number of noncredit sections offered. This follows a 13% increase in the number of sections between 2017-18 and 2018-19. Enrollments have also increased. Between 2018-19 and 2019-20 there was a 13% increase in the number of noncredit enrollments following a 7% increase between 2017-18 and 2018-19. Increase course offerings and enrollments have contributed to a 127% increase of noncredit program completions since 2017. LBCC has increased the number of offsite partners to 10 locations throughout the region. These locations include K-12 schools, direct service providers, libraries, and others. LBAEC continues to improve a seamless transition of students between the school partners by providing increased counseling and opportunities for exploration, both at LBSA and LBCC. LBCC has provided a dedicated counselor to LBSA that will help monitor access and student progress from the adult school into the college setting. Throughout this year and 20-21, the LBAE consortium is invested in professional development in inclusive pedagogy and cultural competency for faculty and staff. Further, LBAEC is leveraging resources to ensure that program offerings align with labor market data and employment opportunities will help ensure that adult learners are supported through to the final outcome of securing employment. LBCC will hire dedicated Admission and Records staff and Student Services staff to better serve on and off-site adult education programs in ESL, CTE, and basic skills.
