Teachers move from the instructor role to a facilitator role of work based learning experience. Employers move into roles as educators. Assessments vary greatly in the guidebook depending on grade level and age level. Assessment ranges from interest inventories and worksite rating forms to employer generated materials. Others include grading students documentation of site visit, portfolios, performance in job seeking skills, etc.
Most lessons have pre and post-tests to measure performance against performance objectives.
The guide to work-based learning does not require extensive instructional modifications. Students will be documenting various work- based experiences using video, audio, media, etc. Activities will require a minimum of three sessions for each lesson or experience. Assessment is integrated into the lesson plans and uses both teacher made and published materials. Time is needed to make or administer assessments.
