Leg. Week 2022

WE ARE THE VOICE OF ADULT EDUCATION!

Adult Education Week/Legislative Week 2022
March 27th to April 2nd

This year, due to the renovations occurring in the Capitol Building as well as the feedback received from those of you who made virtual Leg. visits last year, CCAE is encouraging virtual visits with legislators again this year.

Assemblymember Medina and the
California Assembly Proclaim
​Adult Education Week

Assemblymember Jose Medina
SACRAMENTO—Today, the California Assembly was pleased to join Assemblymember Jose Medina (D-Riverside) in proclaiming March 27 through April 2 as “Adult Education Week” by supporting Assembly Concurrent Resolution 163, recognizing the unique accomplishments of California Adult Schools.
 
“As a former Adult Education teacher myself, I am pleased to recognize the importance of our Adult Education programs in our Adult Schools. Adult Education is an important system providing opportunities for those in need of a pathway to citizenship as well as those seeking short-term job retraining amid the impacts of the pandemic,” said Medina.
 
California has a long history with Adult Education with the first recorded class in California held in the basement of St. Mary's Cathedral in San Francisco in 1856. Since that time, K-12 based Adult Schools have offered quality programs to meet the ever-changing economic, workforce development, and lifelong learning needs of our diverse state.  More specifically, Adult Schools across the state provide programming to students in the areas of basic skills, high school equivalency, English as a second language (ESL), citizenship, family literacy, short-term career training and more. To that end, Adult Schools are a primary community resource for the teaching and instruction of adult literacy working in collaboration with community colleges under the California Adult Education Program as well as with K-12 school districts, community centers and libraries.
 
“Adult Education is a pathway of opportunities that serves the needs in the communities in achieving immigrant integration, high school diploma attainment and workforce development training. The effect Adult Education has empowers generations.  The proclamation recognizing the efforts of all students, classified staff, teachers, and administrators in Adult Education is greatly supported and celebrated by the California Council for Adult Education (CCAE),” said CCAE State President and LAUSD Division of Adult & Career Education Principal Sonya Ramirez.
 
Assembly Concurrent Resolution (ACR) 163 now moves to the California State Senate.
