Workshop Description:

As educators, we often classify our students as elementary or secondary. This is very accurate, but the power of an early learning pathway can determine achievement and success beyond graduation. This workshop will provide opportunities to research and develop early college and career ready pathways for students that will grow with them as they transition through each level. Students need to have equitable access to future opportunities based on state and local economic planning, scholarships, and needs of a community.

This workshop will provide teachers and administrators with lessons and activities, opportunities for self-reflection, and a frame for building pathways for students.

Outcomes

• Participants will review relevant research regarding college and career readiness and future growth opportunities.
• Participants will collaborate with peers and work towards defining the right pathways for their communities.
• Participants will be provided with a student pathway tools and resources that can be implemented in their classrooms.
