Are you struggling to match lessons to state standards? As educators, we are always looking for ways to balance engagement with accountability - finding resources that not only capture students’ attention but also align to the standards we are expected to teach. The Achievery from @ATTImpact streamlines the search so you can find standard-aligned lessons in seconds.

@ShannonMMiller breaks it down in her blog for @FutureReady: https://t.co/GHSAyPoynb

There are nearly 2 million credentials in the U.S.

But too many don’t transfer, don’t stack, or don’t lead anywhere meaningful.

The issue isn’t credentials—it’s how we design them.

@ajjuliani - Appreciate the shout out! You’re welcome to join my sessions any time! 🤣

Work‑based learning isn’t broken, but our design of it is.

Too often WBL is a one‑off résumé add‑on. Thoughtfully designed WBL is identity‑building: meaningful, real work; early career exploration; structured reflection; and equitable, pathway‑aligned placements. The aim isn’t more hours -- but that learners leave saying, “I belong here, I can do this, and I know what comes next.”
