Extended Campus. A Partnership That Works.
Illinois State Board of Education, Springfield. Dept. of Adult, Vocational and Technical Education.
Extended Campus is a partnership between education and the private sector that allows high school students an opportunity to acquire core employment skills applicable to a cluster of occupations. The program is also intended to stimulate and sustain a symbiotic partnership between education and the private sector. During their participation in Extended Campus, students master a blend of academic and employment-related skills by rotating through multiple learning stations within a private sector facility. Students are not paid, nor do they produce within the company. This implementation guide describes a variety of processes that occur in the development and implementation of an Extended Campus program. It is organized in five sections. The introductory section describes Extended Campus; outlines the benefits of the program for students, schools, and the private sector; and provides examples of Extended Campus courses. In Section II, the participants in Extended Campus are described. They include the teacher, the planning team, and the implementing team. Developing a partnership is the topic of Section III. Worksheets for all participants are included in this section. The process of implementation of Extended Campus is outlined in Section IV. This section contains information on selecting the career cluster which is the focus of the program, the three phases of Extended Campus, student recruitment, course outline, staff development, field testing, and student evaluation. In the final section, methods for evaluating the Extended Campus program are discussed. Appendixes contain numerous sample forms, a sample course syllabus, and a sample learning packet for use in the Extended Campus program. (KC)
