Linked Learning Networks

Linked Learning Networks bring educators together several times each year over a period of one or two years to advance a shared agenda. Working as a community of practice, participants innovate, scale and improve Linked Learning and its results. They motivate and inspire each other, share ideas and resources, and develop and spotlight tools and solutions to common challenges.

The Alliance connects Network participants to the field’s top experts and resources, and curates and shares Linked Learning tools, strategies, lessons, stories, and results with the broader field. We encourage teams of educators—district administrators, principals and assistant principals, pathway leads, academic and CTE teachers, counselors, work-based learning coordinators—to participate in networks together. Participants set their agenda, establish goals, and define metrics of success as they learn, grow, and connect.

MIDDLE SCHOOL NETWORK

The Linked Learning Middle School Network brings together middle school educators in Linked Learning districts to expand and deepen college and career learning opportunities for their students. Using the Linked Learning Gold standards as a framework, this community of practice explores experiential, integrated college and career instructional design in middle school settings aligned with high school Linked Learning college and career pathways. | Join the Middle School Network

COUNSELOR NETWORK

Counselors are vital members of a pathway team. They are critical in developing a supportive master schedule, integrating college and career readiness, and assisting students who enter high school behind academically or need additional support. The Linked Learning Counselors Network brings together counselors as a community of practice to share promising strategies, learn from one another, and address shared challenges related to the role of counselors in Linked Learning pathways. | Join the Counselor Network

CERTIFICATION SUPPORT NETWORK

Research shows quality is key to Linked Learning experiences that prepare students to succeed in college and career. Linked Learning Certification establishes clear standards for implementing the approach with fidelity. Schools with certified pathways show their dedication to continual improvement, unlock real benefits for all students, and are recognized for their commitment to excellence and equity in education. This is why the Linked Learning Alliance is committed to supporting pathways working towards and through certification with the launch of the Linked Learning Certification Support Network. Members will have the opportunity to come together and share best practices, ask questions, receive technical support, and gain insight into the certification process. Monthly meetings will alternate between focusing on specific topics related to certification and general “office hours” where educators will be able to drop in and receive support. | Join the Certification Support Network
