A corollary to this is a student's having to generalize skills and concepts in diverse environments, and having to adapt to a new set of expectations in the workplace. Experiential work-based learning takes place. The student is following through with the expectations and is experiencing the concepts learned in step one. Examples are how did the student perform, learn new skills, change an opinion or preference at work. This set of activities tells when the student is ready for the next kind of work-based learning activities.
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.
