00:01:07 Becky Sumbera: Good Morning Everyone! 00:02:49 Sorrel Stielstra: Good morning IE ! 00:03:51 Michael Wangler: https://inlandempiregia.sharepoint.com/:w:/s/GIATogether/EW7vngGqhOFJpXDtyOUpKTMBuf6xBnD5kO1A4lElJE1pMw?e=O8LrWM 00:04:11 Michael Wangler: https://sway.office.com/PKUAwK8xrmj6hT3V?ref=Link&loc=play 00:06:37 Lisa Kiplinger Kennedy: Todd Scott. Is VP of Instruction at Victor Valley College. He is listed incorrectly on your list. 00:08:30 Michael Wangler: Thank you, Lisa. We will make that correction. 00:09:08 Becky Sumbera: Thank you! It is a great collaborative! Special thanks to Beth and Michael for their hard work. 00:13:35 Valerie Backus: Regardless of the outcome, this was a great experience. So many good conversations to improve our practice of preparing students. We have to have hard conversations to make real difference. I appreciate all of you doing tremendous work in the IE. Raising the boat for your area raises the boat for all of us, so let’s keep rowing together! 00:15:56 Hend Gilli-Elewy: Thank you all, this is a great collaborative, doing very important work. I appreciate the opportunity to part of these conversations and collaborate with all. Thank you also to the organizers and facilitators for your incredible work moving this forward. 00:16:11 Michael Wangler: The IE K-16 Regional Collaborative will develop and strengthen 10 robust career pathway programs to fill immediate and emerging needs in the education, healthcare, engineering/computing, and business sectors in the Inland Empire. Building on Growing Inland Achievement (GIA)’s collective impact work, this project will deploy a regional framework that incorporates educational, community, workforce, and employer engagement to support equitable educational and economic opportunities for students. 00:16:25 Stephani Congdon: Wow good job 00:16:30 Stephanie Murillo: That is a HUGE difference!!!! Crazy! 00:16:37 Steven Moore: Thanks much for your hard work. 00:16:39 Ann Marie Sakrekoff: The 5,000 word summary that everyone worked so hard on was included as an “introduction” 00:19:29 Hillary Wolfe: Nice opening! 00:19:44 Dean Gerstein: Was this for phase 1 or phase 2? 00:20:10 Ann Marie Sakrekoff: Phase 1 00:21:55 Dean Gerstein: Any clue whether others (besides Fresno) applied for phase 1? If not approved, would they likely convert to a phase 2? 00:23:25 Becky Sumbera: Thanks everyone! 00:24:04 Michael Wiafe: Thanks everyone! Excited to see you again in a few weeks. 00:24:08 Lisa Kiplinger Kennedy: Thanks for all your hard work everyone 00:24:13 Steven Moore: Thanks! 00:24:14 Graciela Moran: Thank you! 00:24:15 Stephani Congdon: Thank you!! 00:24:20 Ray Cuellar: Thank you all! 00:24:23 Wayne Fletcher: Thanks for your work 00:24:28 Vicki Brannock: Thank you! 00:24:34 Susanne Mata: Thank you! Good job everyone 00:24:35 Stephanie Murillo: Really well done. Looking forward to more work with this group! 00:24:40 Hillary Wolfe: Thank you! 00:24:41 Rose Gonzalez: Thank you!
00:16:50 Michael Wangler: https://inlandempiregia.sharepoint.com/:w:/s/GIATogether/EfvEeU7cbC5IvqBD9f9KYjEBDEoRnfuFpRYr2xP_g4Ld6w?e=d9Zmrx 00:16:58 Jennifer O’Farrell: Almost there! Well done team and good morning! 00:17:38 Michael Wangler: https://inlandempiregia.sharepoint.com/:w:/s/GIATogether/EfvEeU7cbC5IvqBD9f9KYjEBDEoRnfuFpRYr2xP_g4Ld6w?e=d9Zmrx 00:17:49 Michael Wangler: https://inlandempiregia.sharepoint.com/:w:/s/GIATogether/EfvEeU7cbC5IvqBD9f9KYjEBDEoRnfuFpRYr2xP_g4Ld6w?e=d9Zmrx 00:18:04 Michael Wangler: https://inlandempiregia.sharepoint.com/:w:/s/GIATogether/EfvEeU7cbC5IvqBD9f9KYjEBDEoRnfuFpRYr2xP_g4Ld6w?e=d9Zmrx 00:21:03 Ray Cuellar: great intro/executive summary 00:23:21 Karen Suarez: Cal Poly is in Pomona in LA County 00:23:44 Karen Suarez: CERF is being defined as San Bernardino and Riverside Counties 00:25:12 James Spee: We have MORE THAN 30 people on this call! 00:27:25 Hillary Wolfe: Second paragraph, did you want to include logistics, transportation, and environmental science/sustainability, as an emerging need? Also, I’m confused by the term “disenfranchised populations.” Do you mean “underserved populations”? 00:32:38 James Spee: Thanks everyone! I have to jump on another meeting. Looking forward to the next phase of the process. 00:38:32 Lisa Kiplinger Kennedy: Great points Valerie! I could not agree more 00:38:54 Carol Tsushima: Excellent points, Valerie! 00:39:38 Alex Avila: marginalized 00:42:04 Lisa Kiplinger Kennedy: The first paragraph seems all about degrees 00:42:33 Carol Tsushima: Yes “…the Inland Empire (IE) K-16 Regional Collaborative will increase the number and effectiveness of clearly defined and continuous education pathways” 00:42:38 Lisa Kiplinger Kennedy: Which leads to the impression that is what the goal iks 00:42:55 Lisa Kiplinger Kennedy: is* 00:46:58 Susanne Mata: Alex has a valid point 00:49:45 Lisa Kiplinger Kennedy: I agree with Dean, the First paragraph needs to have the meat of the goal. 00:50:04 Mara Montelongo: I agree with Dean. Front and center and showing our complete intention. 00:55:33 Jennifer O’Farrell: Thank you for being so open to feedback and making this a truly collaborative process. Great work! 00:55:43 Ray Cuellar: agree…thank you all who contributed to this work! 00:56:43 Michael Wiafe: Alex… I LOVE the way you think 00:56:44 Karen Suarez: I vote party 00:57:06 Mara Montelongo: Thank you for all the amazing work and collaboration. Yes to the party! 🙂 00:58:00 Jennifer O’Farrell: HAHAHA!!! #goodfood 00:59:38 Hend Gilli-Elewy: Thank you all! 00:59:49 Rose Gonzalez: Thank you! 00:59:55 Hillary Wolfe: Thank you for the hard work on writing the grant! 00:59:59 Ray Cuellar: thank you!
Yes. However, a partner can be a lead agency for only one proposal. Is there a limit on the number of collaboratives an institution can participate in?
No. However, institutions should consider their logical service area, their capacity, and the overall goals of this program when determining how many collaboratives to participate in. Could a UC campus participate in more than one application?
Yes. However, a UC campus can be a lead agency for only one proposal. 00:34:10 James Spee: I agree with Summer and Alex. 00:35:44 Stephanie Murillo, K14 TAP: Thank you for being up front about the situation and giving space for us to comment 00:38:59 James Spee: Here is our document: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1cQtnQjZ79gnWScoBg_jrLEB1lNwVuqvgITgZKyO1pnI/edit?usp=sharing 00:39:08 James Spee: for the business pathway. 00:39:18 Valerie Backus: Thanks @James 00:39:53 Michael Wiafe: Wow. Nice!! 00:42:52 Dean Gerstein: An old friend used to refer to our fair state as the United Counties of California. Creating as an overlay the Various Regions of California is not an easy summit. 00:43:10 Michael Wiafe: I love that analogy 01:07:23 Valerie Backus: Will you post this meeting as well at: https://gia.echofactory.dev/news/ ? 01:07:26 Becky Sumbera: Thank you! 01:07:49 Becky Sumbera: I lot of collaboration needed and I believe this group can do it. 01:09:00 Beth Higbee: Becky Sumbera and Louie Rodriguez rocked our world interms of Education! 01:10:08 James Spee: Our letter is with the president of UOR. 01:10:25 Ida Hermosillo, GIA: Thank you everyone! Happy Friday. 01:10:40 Ray Cuellar: Thank you GIA for your support and leadership!
a. There are not enough cross-institutionally integrated educational pathways built for learners in the Inland Empire to access the pipelines to quality jobs in emerging industries.
b. We have K-12 schools with career readiness classes and a launchpad for career pathways, but there is little to no connection between those programs and local community colleges. Our collaborative is looking to build the connective tissue and bridges between the levels of education to make the system cohesive and easy to navigate for learners. Additionally, there are emerging industries within the region that need pathways to be built out to meet economic growth needs.
c. There is little to no programmatic connection between career pathways at community colleges and 4-year public and private institutions. Finally, the Inland Empire has a need for further engagement of employers and the workforce for full cohesion of the cradle-to-career pipeline for learners.
00:20:28 Kimberly McNulty: Laurie – I tried the Sharepoint link but it said I don’t have access… not sure if others having same trouble? 00:21:01 Becky Sumbera: @Kimberly, I had the same problem 00:21:16 Michael Wangler: Try this: https://inlandempiregia.sharepoint.com/:b:/s/GIATogether/EX5wXmAlIdhCp_g3kF8C50kB9xm0WWpygasob2VQOaFuGQ?e=BS6kPJ 00:21:17 Stephani Congdon: Valley college has a cte event next week 00:21:23 James Spee: What would the problem statement look like if restated from the student perspective? The parent? The employer? 00:22:00 Becky Sumbera: @Michael, this link works. Thanks, 00:23:01 Sorrel Stielstra: Thanks, Ray. We have been having preliminary conversations around the need for greater regional data sharing. 00:24:10 Rose Gonzalez: Why no mention of equity in the problem statements? 00:24:15 Gustavo-Norco College: There are no references to equity gaps and equity-mindedness as one of the problems we are also wanting to solve/improve in the I.E. 00:24:16 Lisa Kiplinger Kennedy: I agree, Kim! 00:24:23 Alejandra Gomez: As Sorrel pointed out, these conversations around regional data sharing would include creating a unique identifier for each student so they could be tracked through different educational levels, from k-12, to community college to 4yr institutions 00:24:38 Valerie Backus: I agree that industry needs to be engaged much more–they should be driving our work. 00:24:54 James Spee: So state the problem from the employer perspective 00:25:33 Rose Gonzalez: @Stephanie I agree! 00:25:47 Kim McNulty, OneFuture CV: Agree, Stephanie… there has been very good growth in connection with community colleges. Lots to build upon and grow. 00:26:00 Susanne Mata: I was thinking the same thing. That statement is a little too strong. 00:26:02 Dean Gerstein: We have too few connections from K-12 career readiness classes to our local community colleges. Our collaborative will is looking to bridge this divide more broadly and make the system cohesive and easier to navigates. 00:26:09 Stephani Congdon: Agree 00:26:17 Becky Sumbera: Limited collaborative connection 00:26:24 Kim McNulty, OneFuture CV: Also – the excellent expertise and work of the DSN network (Lisa, Wendy, others) — I know there is a new name for their positions, too. : ) 00:27:08 Wendy Deras: Industry Sector Managers, Health or ICT/Digital Media and Entrepreneurship 00:27:21 Lisa Kiplinger Kennedy: The same is true of the last bullet 00:27:26 Dean Gerstein: We have too few connections from K-12 career readiness classes to our local community colleges. Our collaborative will strengthen and broaded these bridges to make the system more cohesive and easier to navigate. 00:28:01 Stephani Congdon: Fusd is building an innovation center on valley which will eventually be open to the community 00:28:44 Lisa Kiplinger Kennedy: @Stephani, Feel free to reach out to me if you need any assistance with the innovation center 00:30:09 Rose Gonzalez: Maybe we can frame the problem in terms of opportunity gaps and differences in outcomes for different groups. 00:30:28 Stephani Congdon: Remember this is about working together—unity 00:31:02 Ray Cuellar: also, if possible, hard data woven throughout the problem statement might make a more compelling argument 00:31:15 Michael Wangler: michael@gia.echofactory.dev 00:31:16 Alan Braggins: I think the last statement should begin: There is a need for greater connection between career pathways at community colleges and 4-year public and private institutions. The “little to no programmatic” seems to place blame, not describe a problem… 00:31:33 Lisa Kiplinger Kennedy: Agreed, Alan!!! 00:31:38 Michael Wiafe: That is exactly right Jay. hoping the breakout rooms would help us get at that 00:31:41 Michael Wiafe: I hear you Alan! 00:31:47 Susanne Mata: I agree Alan! 00:32:06 Beth Higbee: Thank you, Alan; I agree with you. A lot is going on, we just need to make it all evident. 00:33:03 James Spee: Let me know if you want to help Lisa and I! 00:34:00 Louie Rodriguez: I imagine that other parts of the proposal may address the region, demographics, trends, disparities, etc. However, I wonder if it makes sense to acknowledge the context/region/how the IE is different from other parts of the state. 00:34:21 Stephani Congdon: Totally agree 00:34:35 Jennifer O’Farrell: Agreed. 00:34:52 Becky Sumbera: @ James – I think you highlight a good point 00:34:57 Mara M.-YAP: Absolutely agree!! 00:35:20 Maral Hernandez: agreed! 00:35:51 Stephanie Murillo: Well said, James. Good point. Definitely opportunity to add some focus here on equity as well. Setting it up for us to address some of those gaps that Alex brought up earlier 00:35:57 Hillary Wolfe: I agree as well – the need to support the sense of community is what will KEEP families in the area. We can’t forget the cultural aspects which can be addressed through pathways that may not be considered, such as the arts. 00:36:08 Susanne Mata: We need to be careful not to discount the good work and strong pathways that exist throughout the IE. We just need to expand and strengthen existing programs and replicate what is working to other areas 00:36:28 Sorrel Stielstra: Great points, James! 00:37:01 Wendy Deras: Academia pipeline is crucial, K12 and college, I agree Alex 00:38:21 Stephani Congdon: Maybe a program like RCOE has for educating future black male teachers 00:39:05 Wendy Deras: RCC is building a nursing academic pathway from RN to MSN with Cal Baptist…trying to ‘grow our own’ 00:39:10 Lisa Kiplinger Kennedy: Also start asking students what problems they would like to solve…. makes a huge difference in getting them into something they are interested it 00:39:25 Susanne Mata: Very well stated Valerie! This grant could help to fill in the gaps. 00:39:29 Kim McNulty, OneFuture CV: Yes — that connects to the industry/business lead idea. And for students, asking “What problem do you want to solve?” vs. “What degree do you want?” 00:39:55 Lisa Kiplinger Kennedy: @ Kim, Great minds… I said the same thing 🙂 00:40:14 Rose Gonzalez: Agreed! 00:41:06 Hend Gilli-Elewy: Agreed 00:41:07 Alex Avila: janitors, administration, IT, staff etc. are also careers not just teaching. Alex Avila 00:41:11 Rose Gonzalez: Student-centered 00:41:13 Kim McNulty, OneFuture CV: @Lisa – love it! : ) … Carol Tsushima shared the “what problem do you want to solve” and I think it’s spot on! We have an amazing regional team. : ) 00:41:27 JACQUELINE MELENDEZ: Michael has and idea – Podcast – https://cafwd.org/news/policywise-season-3-episode-9-automatic-college-enrollment/ 00:41:29 James Spee: CTE gets the student a living wage at lowest cost. College degrees can come once they are food and housing secure. 00:42:36 Tim Gramling: Thanks Wendy for noting that pathway from RN to MSN, starting at RCC and continuing to Cal Baptist Univ. This is a very helpful mechanism for retaining talent in the IE. 00:42:49 Hend Gilli-Elewy: @Jackie, Thank you for the link! 00:43:03 Kim McNulty, OneFuture CV: CSUSB is also expanding their BSW program into the desert which connects to our pathways 00:43:07 Michael Wiafe: Jackie is always too kind ? I appreciate you 00:43:08 Kim McNulty, OneFuture CV: Great discussion, all! 00:43:11 Dean Gerstein: Problem and Solutions Statement PROBLEM: There are too few and not well enough trodden educational pathways in the Inland Empire to quality jobs in mature and emerging industries. We have connections from K-12 career readiness classes to our local community colleges, amd we have programmatic connections between career pathways at community colleges and 4-year institutions. But The system of pathways needs to become more inclusive, welcoming, and adaptive to all students. And the educational system needs more engagement and partnership with local employers, and employers with our schools. SOLUTION: Our collaborative will strengthen these connective networks and make the system easier to understand and navigate and more broadly inclusive. We will also focus especially on building out pathways to emerging industries within the region to meet economic growth needs. 00:43:13 Kim McNulty, OneFuture CV: Thank you, Michael 00:43:31 JACQUELINE MELENDEZ: Thank you, Michael! 00:43:46 Louie Rodriguez: Maybe we can consider including some metrics in the problem statement. Where are we going? What are we aspiring to with this grant? 00:43:49 Stephanie Murillo: @Michael Wiafe – Really great job getting that draft statement started. Thank you for the opportunity to work on it together 00:43:52 Michael Wiafe: I must also plug in since we opened that up… I host the CSU’s national podcast Higher Education Rewired. https://www.calstate.edu/higher-ed-rewired 00:44:13 Michael Wiafe: Thank you Dean, I saved this as a note
00:13:44 Michael Wiafe: I would like to note than Jennifer coined the term “dream team k-16” I love it. Good morning folks! 00:14:22 Dean Gerstein: Good morning all! 00:16:28 JACQUELINE MELENDEZ: Good morning! Nice slide deck, Carlos! 00:17:27 Laurie Schoelkopf: https://inlandempiregia.sharepoint.com/:w:/r/sites/GIATogether/_layouts/15/Doc.aspx?sourcedoc=%7BBAF00174-EB30-4F34-A089-23E818D63E8B%7D&file=Pathways%20Framework_detail.docx&action=default&mobileredirect=true 00:18:31 Hend Gilli-Elewy: @Laurie, the link is not working for me 00:18:37 Stephanie Murillo: The link didn’t work for me. Are others having the same issue? 00:18:53 Dean Gerstein: Yes. requires an earlier registraton 00:18:54 Maral Hernandez: same. it’s not working. 00:18:59 Becky Sumbera: Same here 00:19:16 James Spee: Sharepoint does not play well with accents outside the organization creating it. 00:19:32 Michael Wangler: Try this: https://inlandempiregia.sharepoint.com/:w:/s/GIATogether/EXQB8Low6zRPoIkj6BjWPosBcFc6-tbhEG9rxKgJP1xh8g?e=BdSTm8 00:19:50 James Spee: That worked! 00:19:51 Becky Sumbera: That wored 00:19:54 Stephanie Murillo: That one worked. Thank you, Michael 00:20:47 James Spee: What is the status of the Steering Committee? 00:21:13 Laurie Schoelkopf: Agenda and discussion questions for breakout rooms: https://inlandempiregia.sharepoint.com/:w:/s/GIATogether/EZknGo5fmdNKu_E6-u98NmIBbrLXy0VW1v0pLc4T2H0IoQ?e=tPSsuh 00:21:47 Stephani Congdon: Just make sure the pathways are all inclusive 00:25:08 Dean Gerstein: So there are pathways that one can directly name in the proposal, for example some articulation agreements from cc to 4-year, but others may be formed on similar models. essentially TBD in the proposal?. 00:26:40 Beth Higbee: Yes, some will be partially formed already, and others will be fully formed. There might be some that are starting absolutely new, but in most spaces there are already multiple efforts underway. 00:29:53 Stephani Congdon: Totally agree with sbccd 00:30:50 Stephanie Murillo: Where is the agenda? 00:31:13 Laurie Schoelkopf: https://gia.echofactory.dev/k-16-education-collaborative/ 01:08:01 Stephani Congdon: Welcome 01:09:20 Dean Gerstein: 2 points: (1) pathways should be cast as directed networks rather than pipelines, because students shift their goals and interests as they learn more about their possibilities; and it should conceived as K=16+ , because a strong modern workforce needs a lot of people with graduate training (credentials, degrees, continuing ed) too 01:09:25 Hend Gilli-Elewy: Thank you! 01:09:56 Ida Hermosillo,GIA: Happy Friday! 01:09:57 Nicole Vega: Thank you!
