The Oregon Career Connected Learning Framework graphic provides a visual representation of Oregon's definition of CCL and potential activities that learners can participate in during their career education and development. Under the umbrella of Career Connected Learning, there are 4 domains: Awareness, Exploration, Preparation and Training. Within the 2 domains of Preparation and Training, lies the opportunity for Work-based learning.Users may incorporate this graphic into their work when communicating and providing professional development with regards to the CCL Framework and its four domains.

Secondary educators across Lebanon County, Pennsylvania developed lesson plans to integrate the Pennsylvania Career Education and Work Standards with the content they teach. This work was made possible through a partnership between the South Central PA Workforce Investment Board (SCPa Works) and Lancaster-Lebanon Intermediate Unit 13 (IU13) and was funded by a Teacher in the Workplace Grant Award from the Pennsylvania Department of Labor and Industry. This lesson plan was developed by one of the talented educators who participated in this project during the 2018-2019 school year.

Work-based learning (WBL) has long been used in career and technical education (CTE) to allow students to practice the knowledge and skills they acquire in the classroom within a “real-world” business or industry setting. High-quality work placements reinforce school-based instruction by providing students with a context for applying academic theory with technical skills, and an authentic backdrop for learning the career-readiness (also described as employability) skills valued by employers. Simulated WBL aims to replicate workplace experiences by allowing students to immerse themselves in a realistic worksite activity without leaving campus (Lateef 2010). Simulations may be adopted for various reasons, including but not limited to the difficulty educators face in placing students with employers; logistical issues, such as the geographical isolation of rural providers or scheduling challenges that limit students’ ability to travel; safety or insurance issues that restrict students’ access or engagement; and labor laws, which may prohibit underage students from working.

Educational consortiums pool their resources and work together to achieve common objectives. These consortiums have to carefully plan and communicate to ensure that all members benefit through the shared work. For example, smaller members may have access to additional resources but often volunteer to innovate and pilot projects that contribute to the shared knowledge base. It is this delicate balance of preserving member parity that prepares a well-functioning consortium to also keep equitable practices at the center of their work, for the students we ultimately serve as well as their represented districts and other partners. This handbook is the result of over four decades of leadership by CTE Directors representing districts in eastern Oregon and the facilitation of four Regional Coordinators housed by the InterMountain Education Service District. Although much of the operational information is specific to this region and career and technical education, we share it here as one example of how a group of people representing different communities of all sizes and demographics can come together through strategic planning to identify who is being underserved, in what ways, and how regional partners can work together to serve each and every student.

Adam Randall and his team at both Henley Middle School and Henley High School launched with great success, the piloting of the YouScience platform https://www.youscience.com/ . This platform is a specialized assessment process that engages students in brain games for nearly an hour total and provides detailed results of the students natural abilities, innate skills and examples of how the student might most successfully utilize their aptitudes and interests in preparation for career selection. During the 2020-2021 school year, Henley was 1 of 7 schools in Southern Oregon to start the 18 month pilot. Join us to hear Adam share 3 important aspects of the YouScience implementation process: What to do prior to delivering the brain games How to best deliver the brain games How to best engage with your students with the results of their brain games
