A1: It provides access to internships, face-to-face interviews, and opportunities for development in the critical skills to secure good jobs after graduation. Many students NEVER have access to these invaluable opportunities without school advocacy. #DivergEd
When we hit a restart, we are able to gain better focus and clarity. I try to reflect/journal on my week so I know what I need next. I share that with people that matter. #diverged#leadersd#educhat#cultured

#divergED When students see the big picture it increases there interest. Learning and growth should be connected to life not just an assignment for a teacher. Focus on career paths creates purpose. #ShiftThis

Q2: What research and best practices are inspiring and informing your integration of careers within the classroom, across the school, and within your communities? #divergED

A2: In my classroom I'm diving deep into "Excellence Through Equity" and "Building Equity" because the data shows when you build in the necessary resources and time for equitable teaching and learning, ALL students thrive. #divergED

Talking to community partners confirms they’d rather have grads with attributes and skills rather than content training. The later can be trained. Former are invaluable. #divergED

A2: The best practices in career pathways involve students designing, creating, applying, and exercising choice and agency within their learning journey #divergED
A2 (cont.): That is shaping my way of reaching out to local companies, nonprofits, and other stakeholders to hopefully bring new opportunities and resources to students who might otherwise never have access. #DivergEd

Following this question and tagging my amazing wife who is a HS #CTE Director. She coordinates opportunities among students, teachers, businesses and community providers. Amazing role in true collaborative spirit. @TiffDrummondhttps://t.co/oCvH6i5iVQ#diverged#leadered

Q2: In my area there are many colleges that provide insight into the caeers my students think they may be interested in. This provides a valuable resourse in the community #divergED
A3: In every lesson, I strive to include either application of relevant skills, real-world connection to current events, or opportunities to hear from the kids to hear their perspectives, questions, or needs. #DivergEd
Relevancy is a big part of our work @Proj_ARC#divergED. We work with teachers to design challenging learning experiences with learners, and then to support the pathways learners choose to uncover standards.
A3: As an elem. principal, we created an economy school wide. Ss applied for and were hired for classroom and school jobs. They were $$ weekly. Spent/saved for items at school bookstore. Stocked many school/home items like toothbrushes & deodorant. Ss were empowered. #diverged

A3: Here's a thought: learning feels relevant when educators make connections, nurture relationships, and bring the energy and passion to the classroom #divergED
That's an understatement! It also takes trust and openness by leadership at the school and central office level. Difficult for many to let go and trust teachers to build those connections for the benefit of kids. #DivergEd

Also to remember (as my colleague @IBPBLJill says) that relevance is both personal, and cognitive. It’s not just what they like, but what they can lift!

@CollinsCTC in Southern Ohio did just that #divergED. Gutted their building and made sure every Career Tech studio was directly adjacent to at least one content classroom. It’s literally a new threshold for integration!

A4: Meaningful and authentic partnerships between schools community, and business - designed from the ground up - is a key to relevant teaching and learning #divergED
A4: Throw out "standards" after middle school and develop tracks for development so that Ss develop the best practices for success. This can be done from a liberal arts perspective, but the goal is maximizing skills and application to maximize post-secondary success. #DivergEd
A3: I try to bring a real world example in everyday and the local community has some amazing guest speakers- I had a wonderful police officer come in to talk to my forensics class. #divergED
