Description

A certification framework run by the Linked Learning Alliance to evaluate and support secondary-school Linked Learning pathways combining academics, career technical education, work-based learning, and student support services.

Components

  • Linked Learning Alliance two-tiered certification system for Linked Learning pathways in secondary schools: The Linked Learning Alliance, a California-based nonprofit, supports a two-tiered certification process for Linked Learning pathways—combining rigorous academics, career technical education, work-based learning, and comprehensive student support services tied to the local community. Several hundred schools are supported through a process offering "multiple opportunities for collaboration among evaluators and pathway staff," an accessible platform for artifact collection and self-study, regular feedback on submitted materials, and codeveloped improvement goals after certification concludes. (Germain et al. (2025))
