Congratulations to?Fremont High School?CTE Math and Engineering teacher Marisol Pérez for being named the?Project Lead the Way (PLTW)?National Teacher of the Year during a school-wide surprise celebration!?Los Angeles Unified School District?

Los Angeles Unified School District #CTE?teachers in AME Design, Visual and Media Arts pathways gathered at?Los Angeles Trade Technical College?for a CTE Pathway Connect event. CTE Pathway Connect events give teachers, partners, and administrators a full day of networking, equipment demonstration and sharing of best practices. Teachers were able to connect with partners such as?Sony Electronics,?Study Smart Tutors?and?Music Forward Foundation.

Students from 25 Los Angeles Unified School District?high schools enrolled in?#CTE?#LinkedLearning?programs participated in?#LAX?Aviation and Career Day.?#LAXACD2024?

#CTE?teachers from all over the district in AME Production and Managerial pathways gathered at the California Endowment for a CTE Pathway Connect event. CTE Pathway Connect events give teachers, partners, and administrators a full day of networking, equipment demonstration and sharing of best practices.

While most professionals in the industry will work their entire careers without being able to do so, students from the?USC 32nd Street Magnet School cinematic arts career pathway got the amazing opportunity to visit?Sony Pictures Entertainment Animation Studios?in Culver City. Students not only toured the facility responsible for movies such as the?#Spiderman:?#Spider-Verse series but also met and asked questions and received feedback on their work from studio executives, editors, animators, writers and producers.?

This past week the Lincoln High School?CTE horticulture career pathway participated in its first?BUILD?event. BUILD.org is an outstanding nonprofit organization that inspires and provides entrepreneurial resources to youth. At this event, students worked on personal pitches in small groups. Volunteer industry professionals also took part and shared their experiences in the workforce and were interviewed by the students.

This past weekend was the successful launch of the first-ever?#LinkedLearning?Micro-Credential in collaboration with?Los Angeles Unified School District CTE-Linked Learning and?human resources! So inspiring to see the commitment of these 26 educators to making learning more relevant for students.?

This morning CTE teacher Andrea Trujillo and her capstone students from the?Eagle Rock High School?horticulture career pathway welcomed professionals from?SALT Landscapes Architects. The SALT employees provided background information on how they got into their professions and discussed the many landscaping architecture projects their firm has participated in, including some?Los Angeles Unified School District?school sites.

The LAUSD Linked Learning team hosted over 100 lead teachers yesterday to reflect on knowing ourselves as leaders, analyze student work, and observe a class of 2024 LAUSD Linked Learning graduate present her portfolio defense, set goals for our pathways, and learn about best practices from across the district! It’s always my favorite day of the month. I leave inspired by our incredible teacher leaders advancing excellence and equity through the Linked Learning approach. Shout out to our amazing director Susan Canjura and our incredible Linked Learning team for the sustained support and commitment to caring for and building the capacity of educators and offering high quality professional development!
