  • The CSU’s, UC’s, Private Institutions?
  • What do our high school partners need?
  • How do we ensure the workforce is ready for the available jobs?

11 of 101

Policy Priorities and Needs

Priorities:

    • Ensure that CSUs and UCs work collaboratively to create fully articulated statewide pathways for aspiring P-12 teachers who begin in community college
    • Secure state funding that is accessible to California Community Colleges for supporting teacher education programs
    • Support the development of a combined ECE/TK-3 pathway for the new TK-3 credential
    • Development of a statewide minor in Educator Preparation Studies that would include a minimum of 12 lower-division units and would be fully articulated to all CSU and UC campuses that offer educator preparation programs

Needs:��1) CCC System Level Support for the ECE/EDU Sector - Representation “at the table”2) Direct funding to CCCs specifically for Teacher Education Programs is CRITICAL to supporting the early care and education workforce

  • None of the available state funds for teacher preparation are intended for CCC Teacher Education Programs (Teacher Residency, Classified Employee, Integrated Teacher Education Program Development)
    • Applicants limited to LEA’s or IHE’s with CTC approved credential programs
  • CCC SWP Funding: ECE/EDU are not considered priority (or high wage) sectors and have struggled to gain access to Regional and Local Strong Workforce Funding.

Why are these funds critically needed NOW?

    • To provide outreach to minoritized and non-traditional groups to improve the diversity of the teaching workforce
    • Provide critical support services such as specialized career and academic counseling, assistance with accessing financial aid opportunities, and academic and non-academic support
    • Pre-professional teacher prep development including apprenticeships and early fieldwork, etc

Commission on Teacher Credentialing

Workforce Needs�Pre-3 Credential

CTC is working with communities of interest and educational partners to collaboratively update and retool the existing ECE Specialist Credential.

    • program standards
    • teaching performance expectations (TPEs)
    • credential requirements�

The updated PK3 ECE Specialist Credential is intended to allow the holder to teach in preschool through third grade as called for in the Master Plan for Early Learning and Care.

23 of 101

Workforce Needs�Pre-3 Credential

It is expected to provide pathways for three types of teachers:

    • those currently working in the ECE profession who hold a BA degree in child development;
    • MS credentialed teachers who seek the credential to meet school funding requirements that they hold 24 units of ECE or the equivalent in order to teach in TK
    • new teachers seeking to work in the 3-3 space.

The Commission appointed a broadly representative work group with ECE and Multiple subject teachers, employers, 2 and 4 year faculty in child development and teacher education and others to advise

Commission staff have circulated three surveys to the field in order to obtain feedback on the teaching performance expectations, preparation program standards, and potential requirements for this credential.

24 of 101

Workforce Needs�Pre-3 Credential

The timeline for completing this work is estimated as follows:

  • Commission Meeting on June 16-17: inform the Commission about the results of our field review of
    • (a) TPEs for the new credential,
    • (b) Program standards for preparation programs leading to the new credential, and
    • (c) Requirements for earning the credential.

25 of 101

Workforce Needs�Pre-3 Credential

If the Commission adopts Program Standards and, TPEs and requirements, next steps will include:

    • Standards and TPEs will be circulated to all accredited IHEs with an invitation to develop programs that address the standards and take one of several possible forms:
      • integrated undergraduate credential programs
      • Post baccalaureate degree programs
      • Intern pathways�There will likely be funding in the 2022 budget to support at least the integrated pathway
  • If approved, the Commission will direct staff to begin the regulatory process be moved forward to as early its August 25-26 meeting
  • We are hoping to bring regulations as an emergency reg package so that they take effect this fall (2022)

What is expanded learning and why does it’s expansion matter?

32 of 101

Expanded Learning refers to before and after school, summer, and intersession learning experiences that develop the academic, social, emotional, and physical needs and interests of students. Expanded Learning opportunities should be hands-on, engaging, student- centered, results-driven, involve community partners, and complement learning activities in the regular school day/year.

Expanded Learning

33 of 101

Expanded Learning: �A rich infrastructure

  • $780 million (before COVID)
  • 4,500 sites (BC)
  • 440,000 students daily (BC)
  • 980,000 students annually (BC)
  • 1,300 summer sites (BC)
  • Statewide System of Support
  • ELO Grants $4.6 billion
  • ESSER III = $3 million for after school and summer learning
  • Unprecedented increases in state investment over the past two budget cycles

Expanded Learning: �A vehicle for Equity

  • 84% are socio-economically disadvantaged.
  • 9/10 are children of color.
  • 1/3 are English Learners.
  • 25% of the state’s students experiencing homelessness.

including “invisible” workforce made up of employees of private providers, other youth development programs, etc.

some estimates put the number closer to

Calling All Youth-Serving Professionals and Volunteers!

Millions of professionals and volunteers work with young people every day in many settings where youth play, learn, and grow outside of the school day. Yet, we have little collective information about this essential workforce.

The Power of Us Workforce Survey seeks to know and understand this collective workforce.

We believe that if we know more, we can do more!

What is an Apprenticeship?

66 of 101

What is a Registered Apprenticeship (RA)?

A structured education and training program that takes place in the workplace and includes:

  • On-the-job (OTJ) training – usually at least 2000 hours (1 year FT)
  • Classroom-based, related and supplemental instruction (RSI) – recommended 144 hours

An apprentice is a full-time, paid employee of the sponsoring organization.

67 of 101

Related Supplemental Instruction (RSI)

  • Curriculum specifically tailored to employers needs
  • Instills thorough understanding of occupation
  • Classes may count towards a college degree
  • Learn via lectures, hands-on-demonstrations, presentations, and examinations

68 of 101

On-The-Job Training

  • Work processes established in partnership with employer
  • Learn By Doing
  • Designated mentor trains the apprentice on the job
  • Progressive Wages Scales
    • Articulated skills progression with at least one wage increase.
    • Wage progression that starts around ~50% of what an experienced person holding that role (journeyperson) would be making. That progression should finalize ~90% of a journeyperson compensation.
