<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">Hello, Esteemed Colleagues:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">I hope this email finds you very well and you are enjoying the last bits of the summer season.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">Scroll below for a thoughtful and data-informed article by Will Durden, our very own Policy Associate for I-BEST and Pathways Development. A brief excerpt:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">The integration of adult education into guided pathways work is, at its core, about equity, diversity, and inclusion. In Washington state Prince, Bloomer,
and Kaikkonen (2014) discovered that adult education students are more diverse than current mainstream college students and ABE as a whole is “a particularly important portal into community and technical colleges for groups under-represented in attainment
in the state population” (p. 12). Immigrants and refugees are most likely to begin their college and career journeys in adult education (p. 13). And students in adult education are more likely to have low socioeconomic status regardless of race or ethnicity
(p. 13). If colleges are going to fulfill their mission areas to serve their regions and connect students with real educational and economic opportunities as well as meet employer needs, they will have to include adult education in their planning and redesign
efforts. I-BEST, backed by WIOA and Ability to Benefit and supported by a high school completion program like HS 21+, provides one powerful option for doing so.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">As colleges continue to examine ways to create pathways explicitly designed to achieve equitable outcomes for non-dominant students in our system, I-BEST and HS21+
programming are crucial considerations to effectively meet that end. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">Happy reading and have a wonderful weekend!<o:p></o:p></span></p>

is needed, and the creation of a funding package built with the student’s end goal in mind. A navigator is assigned, and this navigator serves to assist the student as they move along their pathway toward the certificate and/or degree that will launch or build
their career options. Guided college and career pathways are defined, articulated, and funded from the beginning of the student’s journey all the way to college certificates and degrees that lead to living wage careers. Students co-enroll in competency-based
high school completion programming that allow students to earn their high school diploma while they earn college credit in I-BEST or other IET structures</span></i><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#41291E">.</span><i><span style="font-family:"Georgia",serif;color:#41291E">"</span></i><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#41291E">
