Tips for IntegratingVESOL 2 & Workforce/Workplace Readiness • Some benchmarks just fit together well: VESOL 5.6 & 5.7 + Workforce/Workplace Readiness 3.6 (“Prepare a cover letter”/“Prepare a one-page résumé” + “Composing a résumé with a cover letter” ) • Some benchmarks are actually duplicated: VESOL 8.1 + Workforce/Workplace Readiness 6.12 (“Identify solutions to problems occurring in specific workplaces” + “Analyzing and solving workplace problems”) • After sorting through the benchmarks to find the ones that fit together and to find duplications, create handouts (teacher-made and other sources) that can be used in your classes.
