Over 1,400 San Diego Unified School District high school students received credit this summer through the Career Technical Education (CTE) Transitions Credit by Exam high school to college agreement program. Thirty-five percent were graduating seniors.

Students meeting the requirements of an active agreement are eligible to receive college credit, providing them the opportunity to accelerate their career education goals.

For the 2019-2020 academic year, 16 active agreements across 13 college career education program areas are in place between San Diego Unified School District and San Diego City, Mesa, and Miramar Colleges. Additionally, agreements are in place with Escondido Union School District, Vista Unified School District, Poway Unified School District, Carlsbad Unified School

District, and Sweetwater Union High School District. Nearly 3,000 high school students across 28 high schools participated in these CTE Transitions Credit by Exam approved courses last year.

CTE Transitions Credit by Exam agreements are faculty- led with management and coordination from the SDCCD Career Education and Workforce Development Department, and funded in part by the Carl D. Perkins Career and Technical Education Improvement Act.

The CTE Transitions Credit by Exam annual report is available online here.

High School To College Pathways

The second annual professional development day for San Diego City, Mesa, and Miramar College’s Child Development Centers was held at Mesa College with over 45 Center staff members in attendance.

Designed by College Child Development Center Faculty Directors, Berta Harris, Ida Cross, and Patti Hunter, and Program Support Technician, Susan Villareal, this annual event provided a unique opportunity for staff to connect, share information, and refresh on best practices.

This year’s workshop topics ranged from safe redirection, health and safety, and documentation and instruction, to parent communication, Title 22 and Title 5 requirements, and required annual Civil Rights training. External guest speakers included HealthRight360 and Neighborhood House Association.

The SDCCD Child Development Centers served 164 families this past year and 188 children.

Welcoming over thirteen different languages, these Centers are a hub for learning, growing, and supporting families as they take classes, attend trainings, and work. As learning lab centers, they go above and beyond regular child care services. The Centers mentor and support hundreds of students each semester to help ensure the future Child Development workforce is well trained, and prepared, to meet the incredibly diverse needs of our communities and their children.

The 2019-2020 academic year is a transition year between Perkins IV and the newly authorized Perkins V. During this transition year, institutions must complete a comprehensive needs assessment and expand consultation within advisory committees and local planning teams, as well as at the district and regional levels.

The California State Perkins V Plan is currently being drafted as part of the broader California State Plan for Career Technical Education via the California Workforce Pathways Joint Advisory Committee (CWPJAC). In it will be guiding principles and elements of high quality college and career pathways.

Perkins V Transition Planning

The Perkin V Needs Assessment includes six required elements:

1. Performance on federal accountability indicators (SEC. 134 c2 A)

2. Alignment to labor market needs (SEC. 134 c2 B)

3. Scope, size, and quality of programs offered (SEC. 134 c2 B)

4. Progress toward implementing programs and programs of study (SEC. 134 c2 C)

Credit for Prior Learning - Title 5 ChangesDuring the September meeting, the Board of Governors of the California Community Colleges approved revisions to Title 5, §55050—Credit for Prior Learning (CPL). The changes require districts to create one umbrella policy that expands the types of prior learning available to students beyond credit by examination to include evaluation of student-created portfolios and evaluation of industry-recognized credential documentation. Additionally the changes require a consistent process to refer students to faculty for prior learning assessment, create more equity in the process, require CPL for general education or program courses, provide students an opportunity to accept or decline credit awards, and condense district-related policies related to CPL into one comprehensive policy.
