FOCUSING AND ALIGNING OUR EFFORTS
CALIFORNIA COMMUNITY COLLEGE LINKED LEARNING INITIATIVE (CCCLLI)
CCCLLI aims to strengthen the connections between high schools and their regional community colleges in order to improve student post-secondary transition and success.
Using the Linked Learning District Initiative as a launching point, we are working to remove barriers and to align and extend pathways into community colleges.
In several Career Pathways Trust initiatives, CCCLLI sites provide leadership for the region by informing best practices and lessons learned in the high school-to-college transition space.
This is made possible by generous funding by the James Irvine Foundation.

RESOURCES FOR THE FIELD
• Recognition of looming “skills gap” + “demographic gap”
• Growing recognition of role of community colleges, particularly in workforce and economic development
• Increased emphasis on completion
• But, downsizing and contraction over last several years: Overall loss of funding resulted in decrease of some 500,000+ students
across the CCC system between 2008-2013
Downsizing of Adult Education since “flexing” of funds in 2009 led to loss of over 1 million students from that system
• Disproportionate cuts to CTE programs

CONVERGENCE OF HIGH SCHOOL AND COMMUNITY COLLEGE REFORMS
• Increased emphasis on ensuring students meet their goals
– High rates of remediation and low completion
– Persistent achievement gaps by racial and ethnic group (K12 and college)
• Recognition of the “Gap:” where students get lost; how they can gain and sustain momentum
• National movement in post-secondary toward more coherent and structured options :
– Interdisciplinary, themed learning communities
– “Meta majors” and Career Pathways
– Scaffolding for success: stackable certificates and degrees – no dead ends; everything counts; don’t start over
– Rethinking instruction: acceleration , integration and contextualization
– Aligning and leveraging resources to support credential attainment
• Align and leverage public/private resources
- Partnerships with employers
