In the San Bernardino City Unified School District, we're answering that question today by giving our students a variety of hand-on opportunities to apply what they're learning in school to real-world careers.
Linked Learning, as this approach is known, makes education relevant to students and local employers. Students select from dozens of pathways connected to local industry, choosing fields such as logistics, transportation, advanced manufacturing, agricultural technology, and health care.
All students, including those in special education, have opportunities to participate in a career pathway and by doing so, they become a vital part of the story of educational, economic, and community renewal in San Bernardino.
