Purpose 

The purpose of this program is to give students an opportunity to apply knowledge and skills related to the area of Diversified Education

The content includes but is not limited to Diversified Education

Program Structure  

The purpose of this program is to provide support for at-risk students.  This support shall be provided through instruction in the methods of acquiring the necessary human relations skills, work ethic, and common knowledge required for successful employment and for selection of a career plan that will guide the transition from school-to-work.  Concurrently, the student is to be engaged in paid, supervised part-time employment as a means of gaining experience in a bona-fide work environment in compliance with the Child Labor Law established by the U.S. Department of Labor for the Work Experience and Career Exploration Program (WECEP).*

The Federal Child Labor Regulation 3 allows WECEP 14 and 15 year old students to work during the school day, between 7 AM and 7 PM, for a maximum of 23 hours per week, and a maximum of 3 hours per day, in any occupation permitted by Florida Child Labor Law, the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), and/or in any occupation for which a variance (Student Learner Exemption Agreement) has been obtained from the Department of Labor and Employment Security. http://www.dol.gov/dol/allcfr/ESA/Title_29/Part_570/29CFR570.35a.htm 

Opportunities are to be provided for the student to obtain competencies and recognition through successful work experience and to satisfactorily complete a high school education.

A student may not enroll in a Work Experience class without concurrent enrollment in Work Experience-OJT (8301650).  Also, a student may not enroll in Work Experience-OJT (8301650) without previous or concurrent enrollment in a Work Experience class.  Each student enrolled in the Work Experience 1, 2, 3, or 4 courses may earn one credit.  A minimum of 1 credit for on-the-job employment experiences may be earned for each year the student is enrolled in Work Experience-OJT. 

The student must be paid for work performed and must be directly supervised.  Supervised on-the-job activities may be continued as a summer learning experience without classroom instruction for students who previously participated successfully in the in-school and on-the-job instructional activities.

A beginning Work Experience student will be placed in the 8301610-Work Experience 1 course.

The following table illustrates the program structure:

Course Number	Course Title	Length	Level	
8301610	Work Experience 1	1 credit	2	
8301620	Work Experience 2	1 credit	2	
8301630	Work Experience 3	1 credit	2	
8301640	Work Experience 4	1 credit	2	
8301650	Work Experience OJT	multiple credits	2	

Laboratory Activities

Laboratory activities are an integral part of this program.  These activities include instruction in the use of safety procedures, tools, equipment, materials, and processes related to these occupations.  Equipment and supplies should be provided to enhance hands-on experiences for students. 

Special Notes 

Career and Technical Student Organization (CTSO)

Cooperative Education Clubs of Florida/Business Professionals of America (CECF/BPA) is the appropriate career and technical student organization for providing leadership training and reinforcing specific career and technical skills.  Career and Technical Student Organizations provide activities for students as an integral part of the instruction offered.  The activities of such organizations are defined as part of the curriculum in accordance with Rule 6A-6.065, F.A.C.

Essential Skills

Essential skills identified by the Division of Career and Adult Education have been integrated into the standards and benchmarks of this program.  These skills represent the general knowledge and skills considered by industry to be essential for success in careers across all career clusters.  Students preparing for a career served by this program at any level should be able to demonstrate these skills in the context of this program.  A complete list of Essential Skills and links to instructional resources in support of these Essential Skills are published on the CTE Essential Skills page of the FL-DOE website (http://www.fldoe.org/workforce/dwdframe/essential_skills.asp).

Accommodations

Federal and state legislation requires the provision of accommodations for students with disabilities as identified on the secondary student’s IEP or 504 plan or postsecondary student’s accommodations’ plan to meet individual needs and ensure equal access.  Postsecondary students with disabilities must self-identify, present documentation, request accommodations if needed, and develop a plan with their counselor and/or instructors.  Accommodations received in postsecondary education may differ from those received in secondary education.  Accommodations change the way the student is instructed.  Students with disabilities may need accommodations in such areas as instructional methods and materials, assignments and assessments, time demands and schedules, learning environment, assistive technology and special communication systems.  Documentation of the accommodations requested and provided should be maintained in a confidential file.

In addition to accommodations, some secondary students with disabilities (students with an Individual Educational Plan (IEP) served in Exceptional Student Education or ESE) will need modifications to meet their needs.  Modifications change the outcomes or what the student is expected to learn, e.g., modifying the curriculum of a secondary career and technical education course.  Note postsecondary curriculum cannot be modified.

Some secondary students with disabilities (ESE) may need additional time (i.e., longer than the regular school year), to master the student performance standards associated with a regular Occupational Completion Point (OCP) or a Modified Occupational Completion Point (MOCP).  If needed, a student may enroll in the same career and technical course more than once.  Documentation should be included in the IEP that clearly indicates that it is anticipated that the student may need an additional year to complete an OCP/MOCP.  The student should work on different competencies and new applications of competencies each year toward completion of the OCP/MOCP.  After achieving the competencies identified for the year, the student earns credit for the course.  It is important to ensure that credits earned by students are reported accurately.  The district’s information system must be designed to accept multiple credits for the same course number (for eligible students with disabilities). 

Articulation

For details on articulation agreements which correlate to programs and industry certifications refer to http://www.fldoe.org/workforce/dwdframe/artic_frame.asp.

Bright Futures/Gold Seal Scholarship

Course substitutions as defined in the Comprehensive Course Table for this program area may be used to qualify a student for Florida’s Gold Seal Vocational Scholarship, providing all other eligibility requirements are met.  Eligibility requirements are available online at https://www.osfaffelp.org/bfiehs/fnbpcm02_CCTMain.aspx. 

Fine Arts/Practical Arts Credit 

Many courses in CTE programs meet the Fine Arts/Practical Arts credit for high school graduation.  A listing of approved CTE courses is published each year as a supplemental resource to the Course Code Directory (http://www.fldoe.org/articulation/CCD/default.asp).

The following criteria are to be used in the development of admission procedures for each student prior to entry into the program:

•	The student has a truancy problem.

An individual guidance plan identifying admission criteria should be developed for each student prior to entry into the program, and should include the Work Experience course number, school year, and date of entry.  Job counseling sessions between the teacher/coordinator and each student should be documented for each grading period.  Flexible scheduling can be implemented, as agreed upon by the teacher/coordinator and guidance personnel, when such scheduling is found to be needed to meet the student's needs.
