System Webinar: Direct Assessment Competency-Based Education |
To better serve California’s diverse learners and prepare them for long-term success, California community colleges are implementing direct assessment competency-based education. This is a flexible, student-centered learning model where students progress by demonstrating mastery of clearly defined skills and knowledge, rather than advancing according to a set term or class schedule. This approach expands access, accelerates completion, and strengthens workforce readiness.
Join the System Webinar on April 1 to hear how this approach supports meeting the goals of Vision 2030.

Reclaiming Joy: Human-First Teaching in the AI Era |
FREE! Attend online or in-person at one of the on-campus college watch parties. Join California community college faculty for a one-day professional development event exploring how to sustain meaningful, human-centered teaching in an AI-driven landscape. Through community dialogue and practical strategies, participants will explore ways to design courses that make student thinking visible, honor lived experience, and preserve joy and connection at the heart of learning.
