Linked Learning Arts, Media and Entertainment Pathway
California is home to the country’s largest entertainment industry, employing nearly 300,000 Californians across
i
the state. This dynamic job sector requires skilled professionals with creative vision, sharp technical skills and
management know-how. As technology continues to drive advances in film, graphic design, web development and
other creative industries, artistic individuals with technology skills and management experience will be in highdemand from California’s top arts, media and entertainment employers.
About Linked Learning
Linked Learning is a proven approach to education that combines college-focused academics, work-based learning
and integrated student supports. By centering high school around industry themes, learning becomes relevant.
Students in Linked Learning pathways earn more credits in the first three years of high school compared with those
in traditional high schools, and report that their education is more relevant and rigorous. One reason is that Linked
Learning answers the question “Why do I need to learn this?” and inspires students to work harder, dream bigger
and learn more by exposing them to previously unimagined career opportunities.
Four Core Components of Linked Learning
Rigorous academics: Core subjects that prepare all students for college, including A-G coursework
required by California’s public universities and aligned to the common core state standards.
Career-based learning in the classroom: Professional skills and industry-related knowledge woven into
lessons and assignments to give students context for what they’re learning.
Work-based learning in real-world work places: A range of real-world experiences, from mentoring and
job shadowing to internships that expose students to possible career paths.
Integrated student supports: Dedicated support services tailored to the needs of students, such as
counseling and supplemental instruction, that help ensure students are successful in school and life.
Arts, Media and Entertainment Pathway
The arts, media, and entertainment pathway is one of the industry-themed pathways available to Linked Learning
students. Currently, 13 certified pathways have an arts, media and entertainment focus, providing nearly 4,300
California students with the skills and experience they need to grow a successful career in the arts, media and
entertainment industries before they graduate from high school.
In an arts, media and entertainment pathway, students master fundamental academics — verbal, math and
science skills — through the lens of the arts, media and entertainment industry. Communications skills are
exercised through writing scripts, producing videos and publicly presenting projects. Math skills are honed through
developing business plans, budgets and learning technical components of animation, lighting and graphic design.
Group projects that span across different subjects and tackle real-world problems — often for real clients solving
real problems — help build students’ leadership, critical thinking and teamwork skills.
One of the most valuable components of the arts, media and
entertainment pathway is the firsthand interaction students experience
with the field. Internships, job shadows and other workplace learning
opportunities allow students to apply what they learn in the classroom to
real work projects — reinforcing the connection between classroom and
career. Students are able to develop a professional support network and
gain invaluable experience working in a professional environment.
Technology will continuously shape and stretch what skill sets students will
need to tackle for career success, making exposure to cutting edge work in
the field and invaluable component of this pathway.

HIGH SCHOOLS
Linked Learning is a proven approach to education that combines
college-focused academics, work-based learning and intensive student
supports. By centering high school on an industry theme, learning
becomes relevant. Our students graduate with the skills and
confidence to succeed in college, career and life.

BY 2018, 63 PERCENT OF ALL U.S. JOBS
WILL REQUIRE SOME EDUCATION
BEYOND HIGH SCHOOL
Students in Linked Learning have higher credit attainment
rates compared with those in traditional high schools, and
report that their education is more relevant and rigorous.
One reason is that Linked Learning answers the question
“Why do I need to learn this?” and inspires students to
work harder, dream bigger and learn more by exposing
them to previously unimagined career opportunities.
Students choose a career -oriented pathway based on one
of California’s 15 largest industries, such as engineering,
health care, performing arts, energy and law. Students gain
real-world experience with professionals in their field of
interest through job shadows, internships and
apprenticeships.
Answer to the age-old question:
“Why do I need to learn this?”
Selecting a pathway in high school does not determine a student’s lifelong career path.
Instead it enhances the high school experience by exposing students to a range of
professions, and develops students’ skills and confidence needed for any career. And
many students do find a career path they are passionate about through Linked Learning.
Linked Learning teachers of all subjects collaborate to integrate career-themed lessons into the curriculum. Many pathway teachers
come to the classroom with industry-specific experience and training. Teachers work closely with industry professionals to help
design project-based learning that is relevant to current industry standards and innovations.
FOUR CORE COMPONENTS OF LINKED LEARNING
Rigorous academics – Core subjects that prepare all students for college, including the A-G coursework required by
California’s public universities and aligned to the Common Core State Standards.
Career-based learning in the classroom – Professional skills and industry-related knowledge woven into lessons and
assignments to give students context for what they’re learning.
Work-based learning in professional settings – A range of real-world experiences—from mentoring and job shadowing, to
internships—that expose students to possible career paths.
Integrated student supports – Dedicated support services tailored to the needs of each student, such as counseling and
supplemental instruction, that help ensure success in school and life.
BETTER STUDENT OUTCOMES
Research shows that Linked Learning
students earn more credits, and are
more likely to be on track with A-G
requirements. Students also report
greater confidence in their life and
career skills than their peers at
traditional high schools.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Why should you consider Linked Learning as an option for high school?
Linked Learning is a practice that has shown the potential to boost achievement for all students,
increase graduation rates and reduce dropout rates. Linked Learning has already made a tremendous
difference in the lives of students in our community [INSERT A POSITIVE LINKED LEARNING EXAMPLE
FROM YOUR DISTRICT]. It has connected our community with our schools and our students.
Registration Deadlines/
Important Dates
It helps students to own their education and opens them up to the many potential opportunities that
are available to them after high school, many of which they may never have imagined. Many students
find their calling in life while in high school. For those who remain unsure, a Linked Learning education
will be more relevant and inspire them to work harder, aim higher and be prepared for any future path
they choose.
How is Linked Learning different from the traditional high school experience?
Students take a full set of rigorous academic courses integrated with career-based classroom learning,
work-based learning experiences and personalized supports. All these components are tied to realworld professions in our state’s priority industries like engineering, performing arts, health care,
energy and more. Linked Learning students graduate with the skills and confidence to thrive in any
career path they choose.
What does work-based learning look like in the classroom?
[Insert an example of a course sequence(s) and how major projects/themes weave them together, and
how it ties into site visits, mentorships/internships outside of the classroom. Also include types of
student support services.]
What types of work-based learning opportunities are available to students outside of the classroom?
[RECOMMEND EDITING TO DISTRICT-SPECIFIC SPECIFICATIONS] Linked Learning students get a variety of experiences interacting
with professionals in their pathway field. While activities vary from pathway to pathway, students are generally introduced to
careers within an industry through activities such as site visits and presentations by professionals their first two years. Juniors and
seniors transition into more comprehensive work-based learning experiences. Students’ school projects are reviewed by
professionals, and they have opportunities to job shadow in professional settings and participate in summer internships and
mentorships.
Does Linked Learning force students to choose a career or a college major while still in high school?
No. Linked Learning is about using real-world application and career-based preparation to better understand why you need to be
good at math, science, English and social studies. It is not about choosing a particular career, although many students do find
inspiration in their selections. Because Linked Learning provides students with a solid academic foundation, as well as an
introduction to important industry knowledge and general career-readiness skills, students in a chosen Linked Learning pathway are
prepared for a wide range of postsecondary and career options. It’s about broadening their options, not narrowing them.

Fechas límite para la
inscripción/
Fechas importantes
Ayuda a los estudiantes a ser dueños de su educación y les abre la puerta a las distintas oportunidades
potenciales que los están esperando una vez que egresen, entre las cuales hay muchas que quizás nunca
imaginaron. Muchos estudiantes descubren su verdadera vocación durante la escuela secundaria. Para los que
aún no se decidieron por una vocación, la educación Linked Learning será más relevante y los inspirará a trabajar
con más esmero, a apuntar más alto y a estar preparados para el recorrido que escojan en un futuro.
¿Cuáles son las diferencias entre Linked Learning y las escuelas secundarias tradicionales?
Los estudiantes asisten a una amplia variedad de cursos académicos integrados con un aprendizaje en clase
basado en la carrera, experiencias basadas en el campo laboral y un apoyo personalizado. Todos estos

profesionales de su área de orientación. Si bien las actividades varían según cada recorrido, durante los dos primeros años en general se introduce
a los alumnos a las carreras de una industria a través de actividades como visitas al lugar de trabajo y presentaciones de profesionales. Los juniors y
séniors realizan su transición hacia experiencias de aprendizaje basadas en el trabajo más inclusivas. Los proyectos de los alumnos de la escuela son
revisados por profesionales, y tienen oportunidades de realizar pasantías remuneradas en el campo profesional y de participar en prácticas y
tutorías de verano.
¿Linked Learning obliga a los alumnos a escoger una carrera o una universidad mientras que aún están en la secundaria?
No. Linked Learning se trata de un aprendizaje con aplicación en el mundo real, y una preparación basada en la carrera para que los alumnos
puedan entender mejor por qué tienen que ser buenos en matemáticas, ciencia, inglés y estudios sociales. No se trata de escoger una carrera en
particular, aunque varios alumnos sí lo hacen durante su recorrido. Como Linked Learning le brinda a sus estudiantes no solo una sólida formación
académica, sino también una introducción a importantes saberes de la industria y habilidades generales para estar listos para su carrera, aquellos
que hayan escogido su recorrido Linked Learning están preparados para una gran variedad de opciones posecundarias y de carrera. Se trata de
ampliar sus opciones, no de reducirlas.

Linked Learning
• Offers students a personally relevant, wholly engaging, college-focused academic and career-based
curriculum with real-world learning opportunities.
• Ensures students graduate from high school well prepared to enter a two- or four-year college or university,
an apprenticeship and formal job training.
• Exposes students to previously unimagined college and career opportunities.
Four Core Components of Linked Learning • R
igorous academics. Core subjects that prepare all students for college, including the a-g coursework
required by California’s public universities and aligned to the common core state standards.
• Career-based learning in the classroom. Professional skills and industry-related knowledge woven into
lessons and assignments to give students context for what they’re learning.
• Work-based learning in professional settings. A range of real-world experiences—from mentoring and
job shadowing to internships—that expose students to possible career paths.
• Integrated student supports. Dedicated support services tailored to the needs of students, such as
counseling and supplemental instruction that help ensure students are successful in school and life.
Proven Success
• Compared with their peers, students in certified Linked Learning pathways earn more credits in
the first three years of high school, report greater confidence in their life and career skills,
and say they are experiencing more rigorous, integrated, and relevant instruction. Linked
Learning students are also more likely to stay in their school district through high
school, indicating that they are less likely to transfer or drop out of school.
• Linked Learning prepares students for a postsecondary education. Many Linked
Learning pathways ensure students successfully complete the necessary a–g
coursework for admission to a four-year public university in California. In fact,
students were 7.9 percentage points more likely to be on track with a–g
requirements at the end of 10th grade.
• Momentum is growing to expand the Linked Learning approach
across California. The State Linked Learning Pilot Program includes
63 participating school districts and county offices of education. CDE,
California Community Colleges and James Irvine Foundation are providing
$7 Million for pilot implementation. The state budget also includes
$250 million for the California Career Pathways Trust, a grant program
incentivizing collaboration between schools and employers to support Linked
Learning pathways and provide work-based learning opportunities for students.
In 2015, a second round of grants through the California Career Pathways
Trust will provide an additional $250 million to district and community college
partnerships across the state.
