"Not all good jobs are created equal. If you look at the massive transfer of income and earnings that has gone to the white, highly educated portion of the workforce ... blacks and Latinos are basically where whites were in 1991." -@GeorgetownCEW's Jeff Strohl #EWAPathways

School systems are rethinking what high school success means, says @ChiPubSchools' Janice Jackson. Beyond the diploma, students are expected to have a specific plan in place -- whether it's college, the military, or straight into the workforce. #EWAPathways

There's bipartisan support in blue/red states to put more emphasis on career pathways, says @amyloyd1. The weakest link in most places? Career advising. There needs to be sharper focus on connecting students' interests/strengths to labor market and community needs. #EWAPathways

There's disconnect between what some postsecondary institutions advertise and reality, says @ChiPubSchools' Janice Jackson. "We have more and more people who are educated but they're not even middle class [in income]. They're not getting the jobs they were promised." #EWAPathways

#AmericaToMe filmmaker Steve James thought it would be easy to get white families to participate in documentary about Oak Park school community. People of color were ready to engage. But white people "were afraid to say something that might be perceived as racist." #EWAPathways

Interesting: filmmaker Steve James lets subjects see the documentary before it's broadcast so that they have chance to weigh in with any significant issues. "We want them to feel like we have honestly and empathetically portrayed their lives, and we got it right." #EWAPathways

Not all high school students who take college-level classes are doing so in a rigorous, well-structured, and cohesive program, says @DavisJenkCCRC. "We sometimes call this 'random acts of dual enrollment' which unfortunately is the norm." #EWAPathways

I appreciate when @EdWriters journos like @chalkbeatDET Bureau Chief @LoriAHiggins are candid about the roadblocks they encounter. College students are a special kind of sourcing challenge: “I’ve been ghosted so many times.” #EWAPathways

In Germany and The Netherlands, schools give up a lot of authority over what they teach in career classes. The curriculum is set by employers based on what the industry needs/expectations are, says @paodonne. #EWAPathways
