Standard 11 - Work-based Learning

This element addresses the delivery of a continuum of work-based learning involving sustained, meaningful interactions with industry or community professionals that foster in-depth, firsthand engagement with the tasks required in a given career field. Experiences may be delivered in workplaces, in the community, at educational institutions, and/or virtually, as appropriate, and include a range of activities such as workplace tours, job shadowing, school-based enterprises, internships, and apprenticeships.

Work-Based Learning Bundle

In one of my classes during my college career, I created a work-based learning plan. In this unit, we were able to listen to a few guest lecturers discussing state-specific requirements and liability, and legal issues. This was a great opportunity for me to better understand work-based learning as a whole. This plan helps create sustained, meaningful interactions with industry and community professionals that will foster in-depth, firsthand engagement with certain tasks required in a given career field. This bundle of information has experiences aligned with national, state, and local standards. Different materials are inside this bundle, which include a variety of agreements between schools, businesses, and guardians. Also, there is a reflection for students and a paper I wrote about work-based learning. These links address access, selection, liability, supervision, rights and responsibilities, safety, transportation, learning objectives, and student evaluations. Work-based learning is such a great opportunity when done safely and is intentionally aligned with each student’s education and career goals. Overall, this bundle is a great show of standard eleven because of its variety in materials.

SAE Teaching & Grading

The material I picked for standard eleven was a project I worked on with other agriculture teachers to create a cohesive plan for SAE for All. This document includes definitions, a semester timeline, grading expectations, and a supervision plan to be filled out by a guardian. This is accessible to every student at some point during the program of study and is a great way to expand a student's educational learning opportunities. Since SAE is part of the three-circle model, this document aids in setting the curriculum and expectations. SAE for All helps develop and reinforce relevant technical, academic, and employability knowledge and skills through the opportunities it comes with. SAE and work-based learning are both intentionally aligned with each student’s education and career goals, which helps the student find what they want to do after high school. This document helps define the job of the agriculture teacher. Lastly, this class schedule helps students reflect on their learning and the importance of the SAE for All. This document helps show my ability to effectively and safely manage a work-based learning opportunity for students in my classroom.
