I was excited when I heard the Governor had approved for 5 locations to welcome a casino.  My first thought was all about the employment opportunities for the chosen areas.  It is such a great time for Adult Education to partner with those certifications.  Seriously, I cannot wait to hear about outcomes and solidifying an ongoing partnership.  I am so freaking excited for them!!

Lack of diversity.  There is so much wealth LOCKED IN the people of our local communities.  Reminded to continue to work on outreach and collaboration that not only increases representation through inclusion of a vast array of people within organizations but most importantly outreach to create organizations who can cherish diverse experiences, knowledge and incorporate new ideas.

We are always searching for ways to retain our learners.  We know how important it is to keep them engaged and create community.  I loved that the focus wrapped up key ideas into one lovely package.  Thank you.

How important it is to seek first to understand. It is important to view things from multiple perspectives: student, teacher, program admins, other types of programs like CBLOs. We get caught up in our own paradigm and lens that we have blinders & scotoma when it comes to seeing the whole picture.

# data[].attributes.body
Reminded me of the adage that we have two ears, two eyes, and one mouth. We have 4Xs the input than output. I must remember that. And, avoid, being form driven at the initial intake & become information & relationship building driven.

So worth the minimal & regular effort.

I loved the database of the HSE Pathway group - especially the tiered supports. I'm a Communities in Schools board member in Chesterfield and have long thought that a tiered support system model for AE is so needed. Would love to disseminate this further and know more.

Equity considerations for enrollment - great thought about an 'extension of registration access' with public agencies!

Based on the registration presentation, it is clear that one registration process for all programs is not really possible. But I wonder if having an overview of the necessary steps in the virtual registration process along with the possible platforms or tools to use for each step. This would at least provide programs with some support in the virtual registration process.

My program has similar challenges with registration. Unfortunately for us, the only truly multi-accessible way for intake was in-person drive thrus for COVID guidelines, or completely through email and phone. I hope that based off the project, this could turn into an advocacy campaign to VA DOE to help all the counties and school boards collaborate and agree to at least one form of intake that may or may not be enforced guidelines.

Yes, it is time to re-do this one! (Unfortunately, I think our hands are tied somewhat by the community college connection. But we do need to work on simplifying registration from a student standpoint.)
