Overview
ConnectEd prepares students for success in college, career, and life by implementing career-themed high school pathways that deliver learning through authentic, real-world applications. ConnectEd will support three California school districts to build capacity for assessing deeper learning; identify key competencies and metrics for measuring deeper learning; and promote such assessments as a local component within California’s new school accountability system. Creating strong district-wide exemplars of deeper learning measurement will help scale improved systems for assessment and accountability throughout the state.
