PROFESSION-BASED EXPERIENCES
We believe the future is NOW for our students and that every student should have the opportunity to unite with people and places throughout our community creating a sense of purpose and preparing each student for successful transition to adult life.
WHO MAY PARTICIPATE IN A PROFESSION-BASED EXPERIENCE?
All seniors are encouraged to participate in the experience for high school credit. Credits may vary from 1-5 credits toward high school graduation. Experiences may be paid or unpaid.
Any junior who has completed a career and technical education pathway sequence (4 courses within the CTE field) and/or any junior pursuing an associate of arts and/or science.
WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE TO PARTICIPATE IN A PBE?
Student schedules will be adjusted to best meet the needs of the experience. Students may choose from a ½ day or a full day experience based on their personal needs, employer needs and graduation requirements.
WHAT ARE THE EXPECTATIONS?
1. Quarterly Contributor Connects
Students will lead 3-4 sites visits per year where they will connect with a high school workforce leader and their employer to discuss celebrations and opportunities for growth.
Students are evaluated by the SkilIUP Progression where students & employers reflect on their abilities and skills as communicators collaborators, and critical thinkers.
2. Contributor Showcase
Each student will share about their growth and experience during a quarterly Contributor Showcase. This will take place during Care and Connect.
3. Google Classroom Reflections and Assignments
Each student will enroll in the PBE Google Classroom. Students will complete one quarterly project as it aligns to their experience and showcase.
