Measure N and H Investments

Measures N and H fund the infrastructure to implement Linked Learning Pathways, including staffing (such as CTE teachers, school counselors, case managers, work-based learning liaisons, post-secondary transition specialists, and pathway coaches); professional development and teacher collaboration; early college credit; paid student internships; college and career exploration field trips; credit recovery classes; supplies and equipment for industry-specific learning; and consultant contracts for student supports, pathway-related enrichment, and industry certifications.

LINKED LEARNING PATHWAYS

Linked Learning Pathways are designed around industry-sector themes. Students’ chosen themes are woven into lessons taught by teachers who collaborate across subject areas with input from working professionals and reinforced by work-based learning with real employers. Students in these pathways benefit from integrated student support, early college credit, and a small learning community.

6,680 students participated in 126 CTE courses	1,935 students participated in 64 CTE courses

WORK-BASED LEARNING

Career awareness, career exploration, and career training comprise the continuum of work-based learning opportunities offered through Oakland’s Linked Learning pathways. A key component of career training includes project-based learning and internships. Intensive internship experiences are supported and monitored by school staff who know students well, build relevance into schooling, and provide students with skills, knowledge, relationships, and social skills to support them throughout their lives. Internships are generally stipended and are only counted if students receive a positive evaluation from the internship host.

By passing Dual Enrollment courses, students receive a GPA boost on their high school transcript and often fulfill course requirements they can apply toward their post-secondary degree.* Range reflects an estimated value of college credits only (not total cost of attendance) for students attending a California Community College ($46 per credit) or University of CA (tuition and fees estimated at $640 per unit; includes duplicate students taking more than one course)
