Integrating Work-Based Learning into Comprehensive Tech Prep Programs: Recommendations from a Practitioner's Perspective.
Walter, Diana M.
This handbook, which is one in a series of handbooks designed to help tech prep practitioners replicate successful materials, projects, or programs that have been developed by Partnership for Academic and Career Education (PACE) consortium members, presents 10 recommendations concerning integrating work- based learning into comprehensive tech prep programs. Discussed first are the background research and information that helped shape the recommendations. The remainder of the handbook is devoted to the following specific recommendations: (1) establish a foundation of career information and awareness; (2) provide a variety of options; (3) utilize opportunities beyond work-based learning; (4) establish clear definitions and maintain standards; (5) learn to think and act regionally; (6) be realistic about what to expect from employers; (7) provide students with structured time for reflection; (8) provide opportunities for all students; (9) design real linkages with postsecondary programs; and (10) anticipate the impact of work-based learning on community relations. Appendixes include the following: tech prep/school-to-work checklist, school-to-work continuum diagram, and PACE cross-site collaboration policy. (MN)
