Parents and students say high schools should be doing more to provide students with work-based learning opportunities.
But whether these initiatives effectively prepare young people for meaningful careers or entry into competitive postsecondary programs varies widely among schools, districts and states. How can reporters evaluate whether these programs are meeting a school district’s ambitious goals?
Join the Education Writers Association for a webinar on Thursday, Dec. 3 at 1 p.m. Eastern. This is an opportunity to dig into new research, which offers a wealth of story ideas on career and technical education, apprenticeships and other programs that give high schoolers the chance to earn meaningful credentials.
What are the indicators of strong, equitable youth pathways programs in high schools? What happens when schools align credential programs to state graduation requirements – but not the latest workforce industry standards? And where can reporters find examples of high-quality high school programs worth emulating?
This programming is made possible in part by support from New America.
