Linked Learning: Better way to prepare H.S. students for real life w/ Multiple Pathways

Whats the big deal?  This effort helps High School Students prepare for real life, both additional schooling afer high school and vocational readiness.  This is opposed to simply delineating between college bound and career worker students, and hopes to utilize small learning communities to grow overall life skills for all students.
