Formative assessments are needed, but probably are easy to push aside when busy. I also believe the self-evaluation compared with an employers evaluation will be a great tool to create self-awareness.

I have a lot of notes from this section. First, considering some sort of an "Employability Skills" course for students to do before a placement. Second, I need to create a survey to give out to both the students & employers at the end of the school year to gauge how things are going and what we need to improve. 

I've been thinking on the advisory council idea. I have a list of people I hope to talk to about being on this council and having occasional updates and opportunities for feedback. 

Going from work study to work based learning is a priority for us this year. I am trying to thoughtfully contemplate what types of experiences our students need and specific ages/grades and to make the connections with local businesses to set those up. I think this is a great opportunity for growth and I appreciate this module for explaining the different types of experiences for me to use in our plan coordination.
