  2. Special Education vrs CTE (Transition Disabled) 3505.4300 COMMUNITY-BASED EDUCATION. When a career and technical program includes a segment in which students are placed on a paid or unpaid experience outside the career and technical class or laboratory for more than 40 hours during the program, the local education agency shall meet the requirements for the employment related community-based education option of a program as stated in part 3505.2550.

  3. What is Required to have a Work Based Learning Program within your school? 1. You need an approved Career and Technical Education Program which includes an appropriate licensed staff. MN Rule 8710.4825 2. You will need a classroom component that includes a specific curriculum. 3. You need an On the Job segment .

  4. Staffing The importance of having enough program staff to ensure the safety and appropriateness of work experiences cannot be overemphasized. The number of WBL coordinators needed will be decided by several factors such as number of students enrolled, variety and depth of student needs, variety of occupations, number of worksites where students are placed, and availability of paraprofessional assistance when required. As a general rule of thumb, the ratio of coordinator time to individual student training site should be no less than ½ hour per student per week.(e.g., if the WBL coordinator has 20 students at worksites, the coordinator should be allowed 10 hours per week to make placements and regularly observe students at the worksite in addition to the classroom instruction time.)

  14. Training Plan What are the key elements of a good training plan? 1) Goals are both short term and long term 2) Soft Skills are addressed 3) They are measurable 4) It is a working document (revisited often with added goals throughout the work experience) 5) Career Development is an ongoing part with work experience aligned with a career pathway

  15. Work Evaluations Formal evaluations should be completed at least twice a semester. Informal evaluations should be done frequently. The goals will drive this. Evaluation reports should be in written form so the student can see their progress.
