Creating individualized pathways to college and careers 鈥� and doing it at scale 鈥� is the goal of many districts in the U.S. One particularly successful model can be found in the Northwest Suburbs of Chicago, where students are gaining access to health career pathways thanks to High School District 214鈥檚 partnership with William Rainey Harper College and Northwest Community Hospital.
社区黑料 and the Progressive Policy Institute this week convened for an online panel discussing career training lessons from Illinois. The speakers included associate superintendent Dr. Lazaro Lopez; Dr. Rita Gura, William Rainey Harper College dean of health careers; clinical nurse manager Susan Volpe; and Michael Piagari, a 12th grade student at Prospect High School.
