How can the work-based transition activities be incorporated into the school day while balancing the needs of each student? Essential Question

What is Work-Based Learning? Well-designed and -implemented work-based learning activities contribute to both the intellectual and career development of high school students Three Key Components: (a) school-based learning classroom instruction involving both academic and technical areas; (b) a work-based learning structured work activity; and, (c) a connecting career development activity

34 CFR (b) - WAC A-03090(1)(j)(i) Transition assessment The ongoing process of collecting data on the individual’s needs, strengths, preferences, and interests as they relate to the demands of current and future working environments educational, living, personal and social environments. Transition Planning for Employment

1)Strengths: What strengths does the student have in meeting some of life’s demands as they relate to education/training, employment, and independent living? 2)Needs: What are the main barriers to the student reaching postsecondary endeavors (e.g., college/training program, a job/career, accessing the community, or living independently)? 3)Interests: What are the student’s interests, currently and in the future? What activities/experiences promote curiosity and catch their attention? 4)Preferences: Given the opportunity to choose from available options in the areas of education/training, employment, and independent living, what options, according to the student, will motivate the student and make him/her happiest?
