About | Why Algebra? | Contra Costa Summer Camps | Cool Nite
Career Pathways is a K-18 school reform initiative that promotes changes at the classroom system levels. In the classroom, teachers use project-based learning, service-learning and other instructional strategies that engage students, require in-depth investigations, have a "real world" audience, bring relevance to the curriculum, and develop necessary skills that students will need for the future.
Learning is both rigorous and relevant. Career Pathways also encourages students to engage in work-based learning opportunities, such as job shadows, internships, work site visits, career speakers and other opportunities that connect the knowledge and skills students are learning in the classroom with those they will need to be successful in college and careers. The Contra Costa Office of Education provides technical assistance to school districts to develop and implement effective Career Pathways programs.
