The Golden State Pathways Program (GSPP) funding presents a unique opportunity for California school districts to move beyond business-as-usual CTE models and create innovative college and career pathways. ConnectED’s webinar will identify ways for districts to improve implementation quality drawing on successful “Linked Learning” approaches across the state.
ConnectED is planning an engaging and informative webinar where we will delve into the legislative intent behind GSPP, explore what’s possible, and hear how districts are leveraging funding to increase engagement and outcomes for students. Lead and Regional Technical Assistance staff will contribute ideas and resources for how districts can use GSPP to build high-quality career-connected learning experiences for all students.
Please stay tuned for dates, times, and registration details.
