Central Coast K-16 Regional Collaborative Goals & Objectives

In working toward its guiding stars described above, the Central Coast Collaborative aims to achieve the following three goals with the Regional K-16 Regional Collaborative Grant Program funding.

EDUCATION ALIGNMENT

Increase the alignment of our K-16 educational systems to best support students’ postsecondary aspirations, as evidenced by an increased number of students transitioning from K-12 to postsecondary institutions, an increase in the number of students transferring from regional community colleges to regional California State University and University of California campuses, a decrease in the time to transfer from community college, and an increase in the number of students who earn a community college credential in 2/4 years and/or earn a bachelor’s degree in 4/6 years over the next 10 years.

DISRUPT INEQUITIES

Disrupt inequitable systems and structures in our institutions, with a commitment to urgent action grounded in research and deep listening, as evidenced by eliminating disparities in educational attainment in access, persistence, and completion for historically underrepresented students over the next 10 years within K-12, California Community Colleges, UCs, and CSUs in the Central Coast.

View Goals & Objectives

BUILD ON STUDENT STRENGTH

Build upon our students’ strengths, assets, and rich cultural and linguistic contributions to prepare them for economic mobility in the region, as evidenced by eliminating disparities in degree and career attainment that lead to high-skill, high-wage, and high-demand employment for economically disadvantaged and underrepresented students over the next 10 years within K-12, California Community Colleges, UCs, and CSUs across the Central Coast.
