New Harvard Study Supports Multiple Pathways

Although my first reaction to this report was, "it is interesting to note that it takes a Harvard Study to determine what we know is the right thing to be doing for our students", it is encouraging and legitimizing to see this type of information about preparing our students for the 21st century gaining traction.

Our schools need to provide students with multiple pathways to successful futures.

Rather than solely pushing more students to apply to traditional four-year institutions, the authors of the study said educators should encourage students to look for alternative opportunities to advance their education as well, Education Week noted. At an early age, students should receive sound college preparation and rigorous, career-focused learning opportunities with clearly defined paths to certificate or college programs.
