Building partnerships with business and school personnel is going to be key to success of any WBL program. I liked the idea of sending out a survey to building staff asking for contact information of people they may know in industry that may contribute to the WBL program.
I also think it is important to allow teachers who already have a running WBL program the ability to continue to run their program, with the support of district level WBL. There should be record at the district level for insurance/liability purposes, so that process should be created with teachers input.
I think it is a good point to make sure to avoid educational jargon when putting together WBL packets for employers and is something I will keep in mind. I also believe that PR is so important, even within our schools, to ensure that school personnel understand the value of WBL and also help create connects and spread the word.
