ConnectED announces this year’s Experiential Site Visits (ESVs). ESVs open the doors to a set of schools from across the country that are implementing college and career pathways and research-driven best practices. This year's school districts have adopted our national frameworks to make great strides in improving the learning (in and out of the classroom) for their students. ESVs are led by school practitioners for school practitioners, pulling back the curtain on "how" they have gone about implementing college and career pathways, identifying successes to be replicated, and pitfalls to be avoided. These visits will focus on 1) the implementation of CTE course sequences integrated with 2) rigorous core academics (math, science, English, and social studies, including dual credit options), 3) personalized student supports (i.e. MTSS, creating a culture of belonging, etc.) and 4) a continuum of work-based learning (activities and experiences that range from career awareness to internships) (fb)

"The guiding principle of 'college for all' dating back to the 1990s has undergone a seismic shift in recent years... In an era of rapid technological change and industry demand for skilled workers, CTE programs have become a national priority." In a new article featuring quotes from ConnectED's former President, Gary Hoachlander, Joanna Nesbit in US News discusses the rapidly changing world of education and the pivotal role that CTE programs, such as those embedded in pathways, will play in the future of education. #CTE #WorkBasedLearning #internship #Scholarships #MyNextMove (fb)
