@mattgandal's latest article explores short-term credentials and the question of value. https://t.co/5H5bGdl5ZO
NEW in @The74: @RyanEReyna and @mdeuser make the case that “if the ultimate goal of education is to set students on a path to economic opportunity and mobility, more states [and K-12 systems] need to place greater emphasis on postsecondary outcomes.”

We're thrilled to share that on August 1, @kenyattalovett will join our leadership team. Kenyatta brings deep expertise from his roles in TX and TN and will lead our portfolio of work focused on ensuring that higher education is an engine of economic opportunity and mobility.
@kerbowdesigns @usedgov Please try calling. I called and I found out they couldn’t read one field. So, they didn’t process. Mohela rep was nice, we resolved, and a few months later I was approved. I am elated to be $70k lighter and proud to have served as an educator.
HAPPENING NOW: A conversation on the critical work to build high-quality pathways to college and careers in the #LaunchPathways initiative. How can we make sure every student has access to the tools they need to build the future they want? Tune in: https://t.co/X13l9ue5ui
A look at State of the State addresses gives us a good sense of which governors are prioritizing strengthening the link between education and the workforce. A few notable highlights: (1/5)

Racial equity is at the core of the #REACHCollab work to increase credential attainment for adults of color. Check out the latest REACH brief that explores the essential role of culturally sustaining practices in pathways built for this student population: https://t.co/18oTHKpD5z
How do you get students into non-degree programs? “Don’t call it non-degree program…no one wakes up saying ‘I want to get a non-degree credential’.” Antonio Delgado, Miami-Dade Coll
“Be proximate to where the students are.” Mildred Coyne, Broward Coll
What an amazing day of important conversations and shared learning. We are so proud of the work that each of the #AccelerateED design teams has done to build innovative models that open doors to real opportunity for students. Inspired to keep this critical work moving forward!
We can't have an equitable or lasting recovery without a targeted focus on helping adult learners of color get the education and credentials they need to succeed. Learn more about our REACH work in @barrowce's and my new piece via @Comm_College. https://t.co/d7aE1MPcTa
The @edstrategygroup team is very grateful to @LuminaFound and @belkfoundation for their support of this work and recognition of its critical importance. And we're happy to be working alongside @occrl and @dvppraxis as key partners in the REACH effort.
