Mize  \nCCLC Commission on the Future: An Update  \nIncreasing College Preparation and Completion  \nthrough Concurrent Enrollment -­‐-­‐ The Next Steps  \nSince the publication of the initial report of the League’s Commission on the Future (COTF), there have been many reports written and the California Community Colleges have taken many steps to improve student success and completion. However, there is still much to do. This paper will provide a brief assessment of where we are -­‐-­‐ in relation to student attainment since the time of the release of our last report (2010), in relation to the goals which we are attempting to reach, and in relation to our ability to meet those goals – before we discuss successful interventions or what needs to be done to meet those goals.  \nUpdate on College Attainment – California, 2013  \nIn June 2013, the Lumina Foundation published its annual report, A Strong Nation through Higher Education: Visualizing data to help us achieve a big goal for college attainment. This report indicates the following about the degree attainment of California students:  \n•” 38.9 % of the state’s 20 million working-­‐age adults (25-­‐64 years old) hold a two-­‐ or four-­‐year college degree. (Last year’s rate was 38 .8% so there was essentially no growth. )  \n• California’s rate of higher education attainment is equal to the national average of 38 .7%, with an annual rise of .2 -­‐ .4 % annually over the last several years.  \nand lower than the national rate of 40. 1 % . )  \n• If the current rate of degree production continues, 43% of California’s adult population will hold a college degree in 2025; to reach the 60% attainment goal, California will need to add nearly 3 .8 million degrees to that total. (This is especially important because the Center on Education and the Workforce at Georgetown University indicates that, by 2018, 3.3 million (61%) of the 5 . 5 million job vacancies in California will require postsecondary credentials. )  \n• Of even greater concern than the overall percentages for all ages or for the younger portion of the adult population is the data about the achievement gap between various groups with those in the fastest-­‐growing segments of our population attaining lower percentages. Specifically, the data show the following [rates for college-­‐degree attainment]: Asian, 59 .05%; White 50 . 7%; Black 32 . 58%; Native American 35 . 68% and Hispanic 16 . 34% .”  \nAs this report further notes in discussing the degree attainment of Californians,“increasing attainment is a particular challenge in rural counties”… and “California must increase college success among the fast  \nCommunity College League of California  \n2017 O Street, Sacramento, CA 95811 􀀡 (916) 444-­‐8641 􀀡 [www.ccleague.org](www.ccleague.org)  \ngrowing groups that will account for a growing proportion of the state’s population, including working adults, low-­‐income and first-­‐generation students, and students of color.”  \nUpdate on the Achievement Gap  \nAmong the important issues cited in our first report was the necessity for eliminating the achievement gap – both for social justice as well as economic reasons. This issue is so significant that McKinsey & Company issued a report, The Economic Impact of the Achievement Gap in America’s Schools (April 2009) to warn that,“The persistence of these educational achievement gaps imposes on the United States the economic equivalent of a permanent national recession. The recurring annual economic cost of the international achievement gap is substantially larger than the deep recession the US is currently experiencing.” The McKinsey study also offered the belief that  \n“…the wide variation in performance among schools and school systems serving similar students suggests that the opportunity and output gaps related to today’s achievement gap can be substantially closed. Many teachers and schools across the country are proving that race and poverty are not destin","cbCaiuTwSP2ICZLE","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiuTwSP2ICZLE","pdf",1768796,"English","# COTF Update and Need for Further Progress\n## Update on College Attainment – California, 2013\n## Update on the Achievement Gap\n## What Is Occurring in California and Other States\n## Dual/Concurrent Enrollment in California","[{\"question\":\"What timeframe and purpose does the paper set for assessing progress?\",\"answer\":\"It evaluates student attainment since the 2010 release of the last COTF report and measures progress relative to the goals being pursued and the ability to meet them.\"},{\"question\":\"What does the Lumina Foundation data say about California degree attainment?\",\"answer\":\"The paper reports that 38.9% of California working-age adults hold a two- or four-year degree, indicates limited growth from the prior year, and projects that continued production would lead to 43% degree attainment by 2025.\"},{\"question\":\"Why does the paper emphasize eliminating the achievement gap?\",\"answer\":\"It frames the achievement gap as critical for social justice and economic reasons, citing research that links the persistence of gaps to large ongoing economic costs.\"}]","Issues for September 2014 - R.
