Three-Year Comprehensive Strategic Plan

Please see the full plan here.

As East Region Adult Education (ERAE) moves forward over the next years, this Strategic Plan provides the framework for Education that Works and Transitions that Matter, which will help determine how adult learners – our students and ourselves – will thrive and succeed. Students Who Succeed are those who are able to experience and shape a transformative culture of lifelong learning and economic empowerment. They are more effectively contributing to their families and communities through education, training, and by earning a living wage. They will have benefitted from a system that puts their needs and interests ahead of the institutions, assures equity through personalized and just-in-time academic, transition, and career services, and sets high expectations for all. Such a system incorporates core elements (such as technology, curricula, and culture) and unique interventions (such as student support and services, program design, outreach and engagement), and has recognizable and relevant value to local and regional employers.

This strategic plan was completed with input from more than 200 unique individuals. The group includes current Grossmont Adult Education (GAE) students; former GAE students who have transitioned to college and careers; teachers and staff from MEUSD and GAE/GUHSD; GCCCD faculty and management; more than 30 regional CBOs and other non-profit organizations; representatives from regional tribal communities, from the Economic Development Council (EDC) and the San Diego Workforce Partnership (SDWP); and more than 75 representatives from the regional business community. Thank you for your input and engagement.
