Multiple Pathways to High School Equivalency: Breaking New Ground Over the course of the previous year, an ad hoc committee appointed by the NC Association of Community College Presidents has been working to research and develop a program of alternate pathways to earning a high school equivalency diploma. Through a combination or repackaging of currently existing academically valid elements, this option would allow colleges to document specifically determined content standards using multiple pathways to the high school equivalency as opposed to using a single testing instrument. Committee representatives will participate in a panel discussion and share their knowledge regarding this exciting initiative as it enters final stages of approval. Join this session and learn how the Multiple Pathways option can benefit your students in earning a high school credential using a combination of content elements – some of which they may have already earned.

Career Exploration Career Exploration is a class DCCC is currently running as part of our college’s new College Transition Center. The center is assisting students transition to college life and college level work and is specifically addressing the needs of students who require work in the DMA & DRE remedial courses. In this class we seek to explore a variety of career clusters with all students enrolled. We will present the two-year degree pathways but will also include short-term continuing education options. This proves especially helpful to students who may discover along the way that a two-year degree is not for them. In lieu of two-year degree the students will learn about opportunities to obtain a short-term, industry-recognized certification that will help them gain entry-level employment, and concurrently, improve their lives and the lives of their families.

Public Safety Training Update— The System Office Perspective The System Office Public Safety Training Team interacts on a regular basis with state-level Boards, Commissions, and agencies tasked with managing training and education standards in the following workforce training areas: Fire and Rescue, Law Enforcement/Criminal Justice, Emergency Medical Services, Emergency Management, and Code Enforcement. While your college has an official and primary relationship with state certifying/accrediting bodies, the System Office’s goal is to assist you in the seamless implementation of changing programs, rules and standards -- whether that means relaying information to colleges, assisting in the review of Community College policies and guidance at the state level, and/or providing leadership in important areas of quality assurance and program sustainability. This session is designed for any college personnel working with public safety training, and questions/ feedback will be encouraged. My Agenda

The Poverty Perspective – Yours, Mine, & Theirs Poverty – its effects are felt throughout our communities and even our classrooms. For faculty, a basic knowledge of poverty can help you connect with students, design with compassion, and present lessons/information with impact. For staff and administrators poverty knowledge can help shape policies that don’t punish. Part I – Poverty 101: Discusses the types of poverty, how poverty surfaces in classroom behaviors, and provides a picture of the college environment from the perspective of a student in crisis. Part II – Creating Student Supports w/ Poverty in Mind: Using points from Part I, we will discuss the needs for additional or modified support services for students experiencing poverty. Emphasis will be given to basic education audiences, but all college programs can benefit. My Agenda

Integrated Approach: ESOL & HRD Collaboration Students enrolled in ESOL classes are frequently seeking employment opportunities,hoping that their English (reading, writing, and speaking)skills will enhance their employability in current and/or newly identified career paths. As employability success became an aspiring outcome in several of our ESOL classes, it became apparent that there was a need for HRD within the ESOL student community. Beginning in the Fall of 2014, Randolph Community College began offering a Bilingual Language Program for HRD and ESOL students. This integrated program allowed students to take both an ESOL and HRD class, gaining English (reading, writing, and speaking) skills and connecting their new skills to career exploration, technology awareness, and educational planning through HRD.
