The network of schools that are involved in Connecting Activities is substantial and growing, and offers a strong community of practice for educators dedicated to College and Career Readiness (CCR) for all students. The Connecting Activities initiative began in 1998 and has been expanding ever since. Through its school network, educators can exchange ideas and practices by accessing a wide range of tools, resources and experiences that support students in their career development. There are over 170 high schools already involved in this initiative, some with small programs for targeted students, some with whole school reform efforts around College and Career Readiness for all, and others falling in between these.
