In honor of CTE month, we are pleased to announce that the K-16 Collaborative is joining forces with the San Diego and Imperial County Offices of Education and the Regional Golden State Pathways Program to offer multiple Communities of Practice (CoP) for educators across the Southern Border Region. CoPs are designed to support and engage faculty at all levels: high school, community college, and university. By working together to bridge the disconnects in our educational pipelines, we can meet the needs of all students in San Diego and Imperial counties.

Join a community of practice and stay in the loop on all regional opportunities to engage with others in your area of expertise. Download the flyer and register to join! For more information, visit the K-16 Website.

SAVE THE DATE!

Please mark your calendars for Thursday, April 11th, 10-11am

for an informational session on Round 2 of the K-16 Collaborative Grant.

An email and calendar invite from Jamie will be sent out next week.

We will also be requesting check-in meetings for current year spending and project progress updates. Please sign up now for a 30-minute "HS Contract" meeting sometime between April 8-26.

The K-16 Collaborative is pleased to invite San Diego and Imperial County LEAs to host participating college students from our Undergraduate Student Internship Program.

We are still seeking K-12 LEAs to host undergraduate students at elementary, middle and/or high school sites during the 24-25 school year. To learn more about how your LEA can host participating college students, click on the button below to watch the recording, visit the K-16 website, or reach out to Jamie.
