Empower College & Career Programs at Chicago Public Schools

Описание: In this session, we walk through how Chicago Public Schools can strengthen college and career readiness through high-quality, aligned, and fully supported career-connected learning. We explore how our courseware, certification prep, middle-school exploration, and durable-skills integration connect directly to CPS priorities, including Learn.Plan.Succeed., CTE pathways, Success Bound, Skyline, and C4 competencies.

Featuring

• Craig Twaddle, Partnership Manager serving CPS, Edmentum
• Sarah Miles, National Solutions Director, Edmentum

What we cover

• How CPS’s existing systems — Learn.Plan.Succeed., Success Bound, Schoolinks, Skyline, and C4 competencies — fit together across grades 6–12
• How we support CTE teachers with cohesive, ready-to-use curriculum instead of piecing together resources from multiple places
• Middle-school career exploration tools, interest inventories, and project-based learning
• High-school CTE pathways aligned to CPS clusters and Illinois course codes
• Certification prep options built around the credentials CPS students pursue most
• Durable skills integration through our partnership with America Succeeds
• How virtual and hands-on simulations expand access to pathways like electrical, HVAC, and health science
• Instructional coaching and teacher support for new or industry-experienced CTE educators

Whether you're designing CTE pathways, selecting instructional materials, or supporting postsecondary planning across the district, this walkthrough gives a full view of how we can partner with CPS to expand opportunities for every student.
