Doctoral student presents at Educating for Careers Conference in Long Beach

2/20/2020

 
Doctoral student Jonathan Lee Montoya presented at the Educating for Careers Conference in Long Beach on Friday, February 28, 1:15-2:30 pm. 

The 2020 conference theme was Changing the Narrative - CTE for All. The title of Montoya's presentation was: "Student Social Mobility in CTE Promoted by a Researcher-Practitioner Partnership." His presentation is part of the Secondary-Postsecondary Connections category.

"Working with practitioners, industry partners, and researchers, we created a secondary to post-secondary pathway for students," Montoya said. "The results of this collaboration are stackable credentials, and college credit. This pathway enables students to move from blue collar construction work into high-tech construction management."

​"The long-term goal of this program is to equip students with the tools to be admitted to research institutions like Stanford to earn graduate degrees in Sustainable Design and Construction."

Montoya is a first-year doctoral student specializing in Teaching, Learning, and Educational Improvement (TLEI). His research interests include language use in STEM and CTE pathways, and equitable routes to college and career. He is advised by Professor Mark Warschauer and Associate Professor Hosun Kang.

The Educating for Careers Conference is an annual professional development event focused on career technical education (CTE). The conference features a variety of delivery systems, strategies, and Industry Sectors throughout the CTE system.
​
​Abstract


Leveraging a researcher-practitioner partnership, we created a Virtual Design and Construction pathway for social mobility. The pathway leads from high school to post-HS institutions: community colleges, adult education, apprenticeship, state university, and graduate research. Students were mentored virtually by researchers, engineers, policymakers, labor leaders, and educators in college-level project-based coursework.
