There are nearly 2 MILLION credentials in the U.S. But how many actually matter? It’s not a credential problem—it’s a value problem. Read @thomascmurray's take on how districts can move from credential chaos to meaningful pathways: futureready.link/pillar4 #CTE #EdLeaders

Career-connected learning is not one-size-fits-all. From SAISD to South Bend, local innovation paired with supportive state & federal policies makes the difference. Let’s build pathways that truly prepare all students for success. #EdPolicy #CTE #DualEnrollment

In this new blog, @All4Ed digs into the history behind today’s pathways movement, challenges our overreliance on credentials, and calls for a broader vision that develops the whole learner, not just the future worker. From rethinking outdated narratives to building new #FutureReady coalitions (including youth voices), “Crossing the Cafeteria” pushes us to move beyond systems that sort students - and toward ones that expand opportunity, purpose, and belonging. It’s time to rethink who pathways are for, and what they’re really meant to do. all4ed.org/blog/crossing-…
