2. Future of education and community-
based services…15 years from now
What key considerations that may happen with
any anticipated changes
Possible funding scenarios, if appropriate
The influences of diversity and the law on the
outcome
3.
4. Key Considerations
Age of adults
Access to education
Access to community-based programs
Learning styles
Funds in order to support education enhancements
5. Community-Based Services
Now Future
Having access to different programs
that allow for individuals to use across
a wide range of services. Community-
based services now are difficult to find
unless you know exactly what services
you need and where to get them.
Services will be available and more
accessible for those who need them. It
will be easy to find exactly what is
needed like picking toppings for a
sandwich. Services for older adults will
need to incorporate a healthy active
lifestyle and not just those focused on
retirement homes and nursing homes.
6. Education
Now Future
Education is limited to those who have
money and resources in order to obtain
it. It also has limited access for older
adults in a wide range of subjects. Must
community learning is limited to
workshops.
As the older generation becomes more
familiar with computers more
education opportunities will be
available to them. They will be able to
access different avenues of learning
that are limited now mostly due to
being unfamiliar with the computer.
7. Funding Scenarios
There will be Free Community College that will allow for less debt for
students to obtain a degree.
Performance funding
Performance funding differs in that it ties funding (via a formula) to institutional
outcome variables such as graduation numbers, job placement rates, and
indicators of intermediate progression such as student retention and completion of
developmental education (Dougherty)

9. Diversity and Education
Education will change how it is approached for we have different age groups
who are going back for education or waiting to obtain a higher degree.
You also have people from other countries where English is not their first
language, so teachers will have to take different approach to teaching.
Key Steps
People must be aware of their own social identity and its impact on others
Know and apply social identity development theories
Recognize how multiple social identities and power interface with society on an
individual, community, and institutional level.
Carefully consider your approach to curriculum development and facilitation of
diversity education (Tharp).
10. Diversity and Community-Based Services
As communities become more diverse, then so must the services.
There will need to be more participants choices
There will also need to be diversity of the services provided based on the
participants choices
11. Laws and Community-Based Services and
Education
Federal No Child Left Behind Act
Will have more revisions to it to include those who are immigrants and those who
live in poverty. More studies are coming out to share how poverty affects the way a
child learns. (Malavasic)
Community-based services will be become more stringent on the federal level
due to funding.
This will affect what is available and who it is available too.
