Cultivating Internal Culture and Regional Systems for Work-Based Learning

Valley View School District is taking work-based learning to the next level with three exciting new initiatives:

  • The formation of a committee with teachers and counselors to understand stakeholder needs and promote work-based learning opportunities throughout the school.
  • A CTE course called AfterForce, held outside regular school hours, provides at least 30 hours dedicated to career development experiences.
  • The creation of a regional process for onboarding partners, which ensures they are approved across schools to support work-based learning experiences.

At I-WIN’s November 14, 2024 convening, the district shared how they’re deepening their understanding of and support for stakeholders while increasing career development experiences.
