Support all students, including those with disabilities, those living in rural areas, students who have little financial resources and students who do not have access to employers and professionals who are not on board with WBL.
I think that it is important that our school tries to get some of the younger grades more involved in career awareness experience and in CTE programs in general. The earlier we can do this, the better understanding they will have of their opportunities.
We utilize various activities that are cited in the best practices, but one idea I would like to spend more time on is having students partner with industry to solve an industry issue. Activities like this truly encapsulate what students would be experiencing when working in industry and this is an important method of allowing students to experience whether this specific industry aligns with their interests and meets their expectations of what a career in this field could look like.
We already help support the continuum by entrenching it in our CTE curriculum. However the district also embeds supports to ensure all students have access such as paying for any certifications required, busing students, ensure schedules are aligned to hosting WBL opportunities during the scheduled school day.
I intend to apply the following tips and keynotes to my students to help with their career choices as they prepare to graduate from high school.
