1. And Academic Pathways

6. Why Linked Learning Academies?
A high school diploma is no longer enough for our current students to be competitive in the global marketplace.
Today, a child who graduates from school in a Linked Learning Academy will have:
a mastery of 21st Century Skills
a broad work-based knowledge
ability to compete in the global marketplace
and numerous paths of opportunity available to lead a successful life

7. A Linked Learning Academy is:
An approach that seeks to prepare students for both college & career
by connecting learning in the classroom with real world applications in the workplace.
As opposed to the Vocational Education programs of the past, Linked Learning requires
college prep academic core classes
along with Career Technical Education
and work based learning that meets industry standards.

8. A Linked Learning Academy is:
Cross-curricular collaboration for the creation of performance tasks (projects) at each level for 9, 10, 11 and 12.
