What is Linked Learning?
Linked Learning is the term used to describe the type of integrated learning that takes place in our career pathways. A career pathway is a career-themed program available at a high school. An academy is another term used at individual schools to describe career pathways.
FOUR PILLARS OF LINKED LEARNING

• Students participate in internships and job shadows to work in a professional environment.Work-Based Learning
• Students receive career counseling and supplemental instruction to help ensure success.Personalized Support
Our Goal

“ We will work as a community to infuse into our work a deep commitment to uncover, confront and overcome the conditions that result in depriving our young men of their “ right to live a full and productive life.
We will engage together collaboratively to better understand what causes the disparities faced by young men of color. We will expose the data specific to them, and hold ourselves accountable for employing the strategies and changing the systems that cause poor and inequitable outcomes for our young men of color. “
