This fall has been a flurry of activity and inspiration. Over the last several weeks, the Linked Learning Alliance has traveled to Antelope Valley, Long Beach, and San Bernardino to honor the first pathways in California to earn Linked Learning Gold Certification. The best part is being with communities as they gather to celebrate: educators, industry partners, elected officials working together on a shared future—and students buoyed by their support.

One of the school districts deeply involved in high quality Linked Learning work and is using Linked Learning Certification and Linked Learning Analytics to continually improve pathway quality is Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD).

The Orosi High School (OHS) Class of 2017 will be the first to include students from the Career Pathway Academy of Engineering and Green Technology.

A new career pathways e-Portal will soon provide a centralized way to connect San Diego students to transformative hands-on work experiences.

Today, the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) School Board unanimously approved a resolution to expand students’ access to work-based learning opportunities by requiring vendors that get contracts from LAUSD to offer high-quality work-based learning opportunities for students through the Linked Learning approach.
