Oklahoma Administrative Code › Title 780 - Oklahoma Department of Career and Technology Education › Chapter 20 - Programs and Services › Subchapter 1 - General Provisions › Section 780:20-1-3 - Framework and Definition of Work-based Learning

Current through Vol. 41, No. 20, July 1, 2024
(a)
				Work-based learning is a type of job training that combines on-the-job and
				classroom instruction. In CareerTech education, work-based learning is an
				educational strategy and framework that utilizes the delivery of a continuum of
				learning that is work-based and involving sustained, meaningful interactions
				with industry or community professionals that foster in-depth, firsthand
				engagement with the tasks required in a given career field. Experiences may be
				delivered in workplaces, in the community, at educational institutions and/or
				virtually, as appropriate, and include a range of activities such as workplace
				tours, job shadowing, school-based enterprises, internships and
				apprenticeships.
(b) A full
				continuum of work-based learning experiences, progressing in intensity, is
				accessible to every student at some point during the program of study. Examples
				include but are not limited to business and industry field trips, job
				shadowing, internships and apprenticeships, service learning, live work,
				cooperative education and school-based enterprises, as well as entrepreneurial
				experiences. Work-based learning experiences are age appropriate and aligned
				with relevant national, state and/or local standards. Work-based learning
				experiences develop and reinforce relevant technical, academic and
				employability knowledge and skills. Work-based learning experiences are
				intentionally aligned with each student's education and career goals.
(c) Work-based learning experiences are
				provided through delivery methods that maximize meaningful interaction with
				business professionals. Requirements and procedures for work-based learning
				experiences that address access, selection, liability, supervision, rights and
				responsibilities, safety, transportation, learning objectives and evaluations
				are formalized and shared in advance of work-based learning experiences with
				employers, students and parents/guardians (as appropriate). All work-based
				learning experiences comply with relevant federal, state and local laws and
				regulations. Students engage in reflection and document learning resulting from
				work-based learning experiences, such as through a portfolio or
				presentation.
