Connecting Activities (CA) is a statewide network, organized through the sixteen MassHire Workforce Boards, connecting employers and schools to support work-based learning and other career development education activities for students. Innovation Career Pathways benefits from this network, and many schools are involved with CA and leverage their work and strong partnerships with MassHire Boards to build Innovation Career Pathways.
Innovation Career Pathway designee schools are not required to participate in activities provided to the Community of Practice; however, participation is strongly encouraged. Technical assistance – in the form of workshops, webinars, site visits, coaching, and other modes – is designed to be supportive and relevant to the Innovation Career Pathway community. Whether your school is working to plan a new pathway, or is an established pathway designee focused on ongoing development and continuous improvement, the technical assistance events and resources can help.
The Community of Practice consists of district and school administrators, teachers, counselors, and other educators who are current or prospective Innovation Career Pathways designees; their MassHire and other workforce, industry, and nonprofit partners directly connected to the work; and DESE agency staff focused on Innovation Career Pathways. The Community of Practice is facilitated by DESE’s technical assistance partner, the Center for Collaborative Education.
Technical Assistance varies by year based on Community of Practice needs and interests, but typically includes site visits, workshops and panel presentations, webinars, information sessions, networking convenings, coaching from the CCE/DESE team and the Peer Ambassador cohort, and the development of resources to support designee schools – and prospective designees. Much more information, and several of these resources, may be found in the library of resources
