Components of Linked Learning
A comprehensive four-year program of study integrating:
• Rigorous academics
• Real-world technical skills
• Work-based learning
• Personalized student support services
3
Common Pathway Features
• Utilize pathway student learning outcomes to guide and align assessment, curriculum, and instruction
• Blend academic and career-themed course content through rigorous and relevant standards-aligned projects
• Students learn in cohorts; teachers use common planning time
• Provide learning beyond the classroom and the school day
• Offer dual-enrollment and dual-creditwith college institutions
4
Linked Learning Delivery Models
Under the umbrella of the Linked Learning approach, there exist different delivery models:
• Career academies (CPA)
• Pilot schools Small career-themed learning communities (SLCs) in a large comprehensive high school
• 35 LAUSD Linked Learning Pathways – 4 Linked Learning Certified Pathways and 3 being reviewed for Linked Learning Certification by June 2015

Linked Learning and the CCSS are mutually supportive:
1. Shared student learning outcomes, with an emphasis on higher order thinking skills;
2. Compatible approaches to interdisciplinary curriculum, instruction, and performance-based assessment;
3. Real-world integration and application of academic and technical skills and knowledge;
4. Student assessment through authentic demonstrations of learning (e.g., portfolios, project defenses, exhibitions).
