Thank you EdSource for publishing a piece by Dr. Elisha Smith Arrillaga at EdTrust-West and I on the importance of keeping young people on a path to purpose, raising student voices, and connecting the dots across #k12 and #postsecondary during #COVID19 #LinkedLearning edsource.org/2020/we-must-h…

I had the privilege of speaking to students in our Gold Certified Linked Learning Alliance academy. A student commented that schools which serve those from where he lives don't usually have programs with opportunities like this. I was both saddened yet grateful.

#COVID19 has impacted HS graduation & community college going rates, & these crises are linked. Chauncy Lennon Lumina Foundation & I urge communities to reimagine the K-12 to college & career pipeline as a continuum that positions students for economic freedom: bit.ly/3ATw9yA

The #CABudget proposes $2b in college & career preparation funding. Building on last year’s historic edu investments, this budget stands to catapult 10+ years of cutting-edge work from the Linked Learning field into a new era of reinvigoration & growth. linkedlearning.org/blog/the-linke…

Edward Steinhauser I am so sorry to hear this sad news. As always, the Steinhauser family’s faith, love and family shine through and find strength and meaning in a heartbreaking journey. My thoughts and heart are with you all.

10 years ago, Oakland passed Measure N, a parcel tax that provides 10 yrs of funding to support ousdnews’ Linked Learning Alliance efforts. And they’ve done it again this year to pass Measure H, the parcel tax first put forward with Measure N. Stay tuned to learn more!

Bravo, ousdnews, on the passage of Measure H—your community’s resounding “yes,” and renewal of your commitment to ensuring that every young person is connected to purpose and is ready for both college AND career, not one or the other.🎉

Asst Sec of U.S. Department of Education Amy Loyd, Ed. L.D.: “We can’t just return to normal, because normal wasn’t working for all of us.” We should respond to the pandemic by building a more equitable education system grounded in #linkedlearning.#LLConference2023
