Why CDE/ESSU?CDE’s role in ICAP/PWR• Planning Seen through the transition lens• Provides materials, tools and resources for
transition planning• Technical assistance and training to support
District Implementation • Research and Development – UNC• Verify eligibility of ASCENT & Concurrent
enrollment• Both the ICAP and IEP can tell a student story• New Standards Implementation
DHE (CIC) partners with CDE and CCCS in P-20 delivery
• ICAP is a lifelong process (P-20, at least): follow your dream, yes, but the road map applies to everyone at every age – note how many “careers” a 21st century worker is expected to enjoy!
• The Secondary ICAP transfers to Postsecondary. In fact, the Higher Ed Strategic Plan recommends adopting it for college students.
• With Concurrent Enrollment and ASCENT, the historic dividing lines between P-12 and Higher Ed have become more like bridges, indivisibly linking Secondary with Postsecondary. Partnership!!
• DHE serves all the variations of Postsecondary – CTE (Technical Colleges), Certificates, Associates, Bachelors and beyond. The ICAP is the road map for lifelong learning and success.
Role of CIC in DHE
• In 2011, Lt Governor Joe Garcia created the new Division of Access and Student Services within DHE
• This Division includes the Director of Admissions and Access, GEAR UP, the Director of Financial Aid and College In Colorado
• College In Colorado functions as the outreach arm of the Department of Higher Education
