CRLEs Must Be: • Connectedto student’s personal education plan • Reflected upon by the student • Learningmust be planned • Evaluatedby self and adult
How to Implement and Integrate CRLE’s into You School • As class assignments • As a requirement of all elective classes • Coordinated through a career center • Student self-initiated • As a summer job, internship, or service learning experience • As a job within the school • As a project • As apart of a club or other extracurricular activity, like a class officer • Informational interviews • Simulations, like mock trail, model UN • As Internet-based investigation into a company or industry • A career class can be a CRLE • Students serving as teachers’ aides
Tools You Can Use • Classroom Career-related Videos • Internship (sample forms) • Job Shadow forms • Informational Interview forms

Career-Related Learning STANDARDS • Personal management • Problem solving • Communication • Teamwork • Employment foundations • Career development
CRLS: The new “Basics” • These are the critical thinking skills employers want most1 • Valued above specific occupational skills • Employers hope schools can build these • Reflect profound changes in the workplace • Far-reaching consequences • See OLMIS article in packet and School Improvement Research Series • from the NWREL in packet
How to Teach CRLS • Integrated among instructional goals and explicitly taught • Democratic instructional practice superior to indoctrinational approaches • Classrooms replicate real-world consequences • Teachers hold high expectations • Teachers facilitate and coach learning versus rather than lecture and order • Students assume greater responsibility for own learning • Learning is individualized by student learning needs and styles versus regulated by texts and lesson plans • Teachers have autonomy for curriculum, classroom design, and instructional approach.
How to Help Students Master the CRLS • Academic content areas • Advisory Focus • Extra-curricular activities • Home support • Through work experiences, internships, mentorships • Potential focus of CRLEs and EAs
How to Document CRLS Mastery:Sample Tools • ODE’s • Gilchrist’s • Reynolds School District’s • Our Senior Portfolio Project’s • Hillsboro’s • Consider mastery when passing specific courses with “B” or above
CRLS Scoring Sufficiency versus Proficiency: Practice Activity on Pages 99-111 INSTRUCTIONS FOR PAIRS: • Review the student packet containing: a Resume, Transcript, and one of several of this student’s EA projects • Using the CRLS Evidence Check-off Tool, note evidence of CRLS behavioral indicators • Discuss results with full group
Consider Using the CRLS for Staff Evaluations • See attached adult CRLS sample, now in use by ODE • How would you fare?
