Our Track Record In 2006, in collaboration with the James Irvine Foundation, ConnectEd played a key role in developing and launching a transformational approach – Linked Learning -- in a demonstration project with nine California school districts, including Long Beach, Sacramento, Los Angeles, Porterville, Oakland and Pasadena. These districts demonstrated significant increases in student credit accrual, college eligibility, and graduation rates compared to before Linked Learning was implemented. Linked Learning seeks to better prepare students to graduate from high school ready for college and career. Linked Learning combines rigorous academics, demanding technical education, personalized student supports, and real-world experience. Learn more about Linked Learning. Where We Work ConnectEd works with more than thirty school districts in California, Michigan, Texas, Wisconsin, Illinois, Ohio and New York.
