Adult Education Program: immigrant integration.
- Establishes a formal definition of immigrant integration for California's Adult Education Program.
- Requires adult education programs to provide culturally relevant and linguistically accessible services.
- Promotes immigrant participation in economic and civic life through targeted educational support.
Senator Cervantes's amendment to California's Adult Education Program establishes a formal definition of immigrant integration, providing a framework for how educational institutions and immigrant communities can work together to build inclusive communities. The definition characterizes immigrant integration as a collaborative process between immigrants and the receiving society, with both parties actively participating in community development.
The legislation outlines specific components of successful integration, including linguistically accessible programs, economic opportunity, and civic engagement. Under the new definition, service providers must deliver culturally relevant programs that facilitate linguistic, economic, and social integration while encouraging immigrants' contributions to their communities' civic and economic life. The definition emphasizes multigenerational integration and upward mobility as key outcomes of effective adult education programs.
This amendment builds upon existing Adult Education Program requirements, which mandate annual reporting on program outcomes and immigrant integration services. The new definition provides metrics against which adult education consortia can measure their programs' effectiveness in serving immigrant populations throughout California's adult education regions.
