What is a P-16 Council?
The P-16 Council of the California Department of Education is a statewide assembly of education, business, and community leaders charged with developing strategies to better coordinate, integrate, and improve education for preschool through college students.
What is the mission of our P-16 Council?
The mission of the Humboldt/Del Norte P-16 Council is to create and support an educational environment that maximizes every student's lifelong potential for success.
What is ARCHES and how is it related to our P-16 Council?
ARCHES stands for the Alliance for Regional Collaboration to Heighten Educational Success, which is a voluntary confederation of regional collaboratives whose sole purpose is to improve student success and close the achievement gap among groups of students. To be clear, the collaborative is a means to an end; the end, or goal, both individually and collectively of ARCHES and its members, is greater student academic achievement, opportunity, and equity in California. For more information see: http://www.arches-cal.org/mission.html.
ARCHES is related to our P-16 Council because it represents our first project, one that has received both planning grant and an implementation grant funding. Consistent with our mission listed above, our first project entitled (Project CLASS - College: Learn, Attend, Strive, Succeed), has two specific, yet interrelated goals for the implementation phase:
1) we will close the achievement gap for American Indian students to enhance both their employability and their higher education opportunities;
2) students and parents will develop a better understanding of the importance of education and related student-success strategies.
