Description

If we were mountaineers, Connie Majka would be our Sherpa. Officially our Director of Innovation & Learning, Connie helps us navigate some tricky terrain, connects us to important resources and devises clever solutions to challenging issues. As co-founder and past president of the National Career Academy Coalition, an organization dedicated to creating and supporting a national network of existing and emerging career academies, Connie clearly has the professional expertise to direct the professional development and capacity building of PAI and school staff. But what Connie brings to PAI is so much more than that: she is astute, insightful, enthusiastic and extremely thoughtful in considering “outside the box” solutions. That’s why she is our “go-to” person when we need a clever thoughtful response to some of youth development’s most challenging issues. As a PAI and national leader with nearly 30 years experience in the career academy model, Connie also heads up a newly formed team of professional development providers who offer fee-for-service consulting nationally, helping other districts replicate Philadelphia’s academy model success story.

Digital On-Ramps provides a digital framework for delivering comprehensive education and workforce training to youth and adults. Because we are dedicated to improving instruction and preparation for career and college success, Philadelphia Academies, Inc. is testing this online resource at four partner schools through a 21st century skill badging effort.

A member of our leadership team is involved at every partner school, personally ensuring that projects meet school requirements and objectives. We find that this more open environment is best not only for inspiring creativity, but also for providing responsive and flexible school service.
