The Work Based Learning Capstone is an instructional strategy that can be implemented as a stand-alone course or a component of any CTE course that prepares students for college and career. This strategy builds students’ skills and knowledge in their chosen career path or furthers their study within the area of interest. A standards based training plan is developed by the student, teacher, and workplace mentor to guide the student’s work based learning experiences and assist in evaluating achievement and performance, whether Work Based Learning (WBL) is a stand-alone course or a component of a discipline-specific CTE course. In the stand-alone WBL courses, students have the opportunity to apply the concepts, skills, and dispositions learned in previous coursework in their pathways in real world business and industry settings. Therefore, at least two courses in a student’s pathway would be a prerequisite to the student enrolling in the stand-alone WBL courses. There are several models of WBL. A school may choose to use a single model or differentiate instruction by using multiple models depending on a student’s pathway and career objectives. The models are: ● Apprenticeship ● Cooperative ● Internship ● School Based Enterprise ● Service Learning Based Prerequisite: Preparation for College & Careers and 4 other credits in a specific pathway
