What is Work-Based Learning

  • National practice that creates experiences for students to collaborate

with industry to explore careers that interest them and gain valuable employability skills. (GA, CA, SC)

  • By working with employers, students apply classroom theories to

practical problems, explore career options, and pursue personal and professional goals.

WBL= Multiple Quality Experiences

WBL = Student Centered

  • WBL must be student centered:

– Produces a portfolio of evidence of employability skills – Aligns to the student's selected program of study – Supports student's long-term goals and interests – Demonstrates growth of the student

WBL= Educator Supported

WBL must be educator supported – Requires regularly facilitated reflection time to supplement work experience to meet course standards – Improves continuously through professional development, networking, and institutional support

WBL= Competitive Applicants

  • Companies are struggling to find the talent they need because the

labor market is competitive.

  • Work experience puts students on a strong path for postsecondary

education completion and career attainment.

  • Employability skills provide students the ability to grow and adapt to

an evolving workplace over their lifetime.

Equitable access matters

“A lack of equitable access to work-based learning limits the career prospects and economic mobility of millions of youth and adults. It also prevents them from becoming part of the pipeline of skilled workers employers need to help spur local, state, and national economic growth.”

Cahill, C. Making Work-Based Learning Work, Jobs for the Future, July 2016. http://www.jff.org/sites/default/files/publications/materials/WBL%20Principles%20Paper%20062416.pdf 13

WBL = Economic Mobility

“Uneven access to work-based learning threatens to curtail the economic mobility and career prospects

  • f low-income and low-skilled individuals…”

but “embedding work-based learning in programs of study helps promote equitable access for all students enrolled in the program, not just those with the personal relationships and social capital needed to access existing opportunities on their own.”

How do we capture and assess the knowledge and skills gained by students in Work-Based Learning?

slide-15
SLIDE 15

Portfolio = Artifacts

Portfolio: Produces evidence of rigorous learning and skill development of the student. This evidence may be a final product, presentation, or performance that allows the student to fully demonstrate or articulate the depth of his/her achievement.

  • Collection of evidence of level of attainment
  • Method of summative performance assessment
  • Showcase of abilities represented in the student’s best work
  • A means of formative assessment
  • Documentation of stages of development

Assessing Portfolios

17

  • 1. Multiple measures: In-class work and artifacts students produce are

intended to provide a very clear and accurate picture of what the student has done and learned.

  • 2. Use employer input: WBL instructor gains employer feedback

throughout the student’s experience to determine level of mastery and performance.

  • 3. Best artifacts: The portfolio should include the BEST examples of the

student's performance and provide a thorough representation of knowledge and skills attained.

  • 4. Intended for the student: The goal of the portfolio is to give students

an additional tool to take with them when they graduate to assist in their career-level interviews.
