Pathway Communities of Practice

In April and May 2024, practitioners from across the three Bay Area K-16 Collaboratives (East Bay, San Francisco/Peninsula, and San Jos茅) convened for virtual Communities of Practice. Executive Director Agust铆n Cervantes, with support from Backbone Organization Social Policy Research Associates, hosted sessions for the Education, Engineering/STEM, and Health/Biotechnology pathways. K-12, community college, CSU, and UC representatives from each subregion gathered to share challenges, learnings, and plans, building connections and breaking down siloes. Recognizing that Bay Area students are all of our students, these Communities of Practice will continue throughout grant implementation to build cohesion and coherence across systems.

San Jos茅 State University (91传媒厂) led education partners from the San Jos茅 region of the Bay Area K16 Collaborative in a full, dynamic day of learning about dual enrollment (DE) with neighboring members of the Central Coast K-16 Collaborative, Hartnell College and one of its feeder K-12 partners, Gonzales High School, on November 7, 2023. Hartnell College has been intentional about its DE implementation, tracking student outcomes closely and teasing out practices that best advance student achievement. 91传媒厂 and its partners observed high school dual enrollment classes at Gonzales High School, spent several hours engaged in structured conversation with the architects of the dual enrollment program at Hartnell College, and participated in San Jos茅 dual enrollment planning teams to apply what they learned. The San Jos茅 partners learned about Hartnell鈥檚 dual enrollment approach while strengthening connections among its own K-16 cross-segmental planning team.
Over 25 people from the San Jos茅 region participated including 91传媒厂, San Jos茅 City College (SJCC), Evergreen Valley College (EVC), East Side Union High School District (ESUHSD), San Jos茅 Unified School District (SJUSD), Milpitas Unified School District, and notetakers from Social Policy Research Associates participated in the exchange.
