Work-Based Learning

Work-based Learning is the "umbrella" term used to identify activities which collaboratively engage employers and school districts in providing structured learning experiences for students in the work environment. 

These experiences focus on helping students to develop broad, transferable skills for post-secondary education and the workplace.

Districts employ a certified Work-based Learning (WBL) coordinator who provides students with real-life work experiences where they can apply academic and technical skills and develop their employability skills.  The WBL coordinator is typically split between two districts and works 2-days in each district.  They have an opportunity to work with a variety of students including students who are pursuing a CDOS credential or who are in need of employment. The WBL coordinator has established many connections in the community in which to "place" students for job shadowing or internship experiences.  Many of those experiences turn in to actual paid employment.

Work-based Learning Coordinator Teacher

The New York State Department of Education and the Department of Labor outline specific requirements for students placed by the school in work-based learning experiences such as internships. Work-based Learning Coordinator Teachers have NYS certification to oversee and provide these experiences. In addition, they recruit and maintain employer relationships, monitor student expectations and outcomes, collect attendance and report all required data, and offer student classes and instruction for all employability and career-related areas.

This service provides a certified teacher who must be shared between two or more districts by working in each two or three days a week. The teacher is supervised by the Principal for Specialized Schools as well as a district building administrator. All teacher expenses are covered by the service fee. Teachers work from an office at the school, and become a part of the school instructional and support environment. All work-based learning and CDOS requirements are met for students that qualify.
