EL Civics Conference, Ceres California
I had the opportunity to present at the Ceres California EL CIVICS conference on Friday, January 25, 2018. It was a large conference with a lot of notable people from Sacramento. Including Chiem-Seng Yaangh and Cory Rayala who are CDE consultants. I am going to try and summarize what was discussed. However, it is complicated. So if anyone who was there reads this, please try and correct me if I am misinformed.
Summary
- There are two grants through WIOA-231 and 243
- 231 is the grant for Adult Education and Literacy-EL Civics Program which is the old grant program.
- 243 is the grant for Integrating EL Civics program. This is a completely new program and is integrated with workforce preparation and training. These payments will be higher than 231 paymeents.
