TRANSITION EDUCATION
Transition Education is a series of courses that students select during their junior and senior year of high school. Each of the courses selected should correspond to their Career Pathway--and their future plans following high school graduation. All Transition Education programs are elective courses. The Transition Education menu of options include:Cooperative Work-Study (12th) This senior year experience is a paid work experience, and should reflect future employment plans. Most students attend their home high school in the morning, and work in the afternoon.
Marketing Education (11th & 12th) This is a program similar to the Work-Study Program, but the area of career focus is the marketing of goods and services. The program is located at the Career & Technology Center. Students attend class at the Center in the morning of their junior year. In their senior year they work in related placements in the afternoon.
Cooperative Pre-Apprenticeships (12th) This Career & Technology Center program allows students to gain full time apprenticeship work experience in the second semester of their senior year.
Cooperative Work-Study IEP (11th & 12th) This is a two year Work-Study program for students who are enrolled in an Individual Education Plan (IEP).
Temporary Administrative Attendance Waiver (12th) Better known as "Open Campus", this program allows students to be excused during the school day to attend college or community college.
Student Service Learning (11th & 12th) This program allows students to volunteer during the school day. Many students elect to tutor other students at the middle and elementary school level, but students also volunteer at a host of non-profit agencies or organizations. These must be unpaid experiences
Mentor/Internships (11th & 12th) These career related experiences allow juniors and seniors to gain valuable experiences in the field they plan to major in when they attend college. Each intern is paired with an experienced adult mentor, who helps craft an internship that will provide valuable insight and experience in the student's appropriate Career Pathway.
