Consortium Carryover and the Written Expenditure Plan
| |
 | |
Consortium carryover is one or more prior fiscal years exceeding 20% and is assessed and acted upon annually. Consortium carryover includes the carryover of all its members. State leadership identified consortia with 20% or more carryover as of September 30, 2024, with the Quarter 4 Expenditure report submission.
Consortia with 20% or more carryover must submit a written expenditure plan to the State showing how the consortium will work to reduce their carryover below the 20% threshold.
The Written Expediture Plan in now live in NOVA. Consortia who have exceeded 20% carryover will have 45 days (Oct 1-Nov 14) to complete the plan at the consortium level. Consortia will be submitting one jointly developed written expenditure plan. Members will review and approve the written expenditure plan once it has been submitted by the consortium lead.
CAEP Leadership conducted a webinar on October 9, 2024, to review the Carryover Compliance Tracking and Requirements. A second webinar regarding technical assistance and best practices for Carryover Compliance occurred on October 16. This second webinar's PPT will be available and posted to the CAEP website once it has been remediated.
Consortia who exceeded 20% carryover and are required to do a Written Expenditure Plan are encouraged to reach out to the TAPS for any additional assistance that is needed.

Sánchez-Aldana’s words of praise highlighted the staff's and educators' unwavering commitment to empowering students and advancing adult education. Her presence was a testament to the statewide recognition these programs have earned for their dedication to quality learning opportunities.
Another highlight of the event was the presentation of Congressional, Senate, and State Assembly Certificates of Recognition to Principal Elena Jones and the staff of Glenn Adult Program.

CALPRO Research Forum Webinar: Promoting Math Identity and Productive Struggle | |
|
Date/Time: Monday, November 4th at 1 -2 pm
Join us for an insightful webinar focused on promoting math identity in adult learners and embracing productive struggle in mathematics. Research shows that students who lack confidence in math often give up when faced with challenges, mistakenly thinking that struggling indicates a lack of intelligence. Although struggle can conflict with educators’ notions of successful teaching, struggle and mistakes are the best times for brain growth and are a necessary component of learning and understanding. Teaching that embraces and uses productive struggle helps students apply their learning to new problems and situations. This research forum webinar explores ways to foster a positive math identity and embrace productive struggle in adult education classrooms.
Presenter: Matt Wallace, Associate Professor of Teaching in Education, UC Davis
