@RyanBJackson1 @TNedu @MPHSGoTigers @MauryCoSchools @MauryAlliance I strongly encourage any CTE Director and WBL Coordinator to sit in on this.

Excellent planning, leveraging of resources, and commitment to building deep talent pipelines to meet a community's labor market needs through high-quality #WBLinTN

YES, HS Ss CAN work these jobs!

Can't think of a better WBL opportunity for HS students who want to pursue this industry sector.

Applying a school-based program when community partnerships are limited can be equally effective.

Thanks @wcsCCTE for making this happen!

When teachers include activities and assignments that require self-direction and self-monitoring, students are able to take ownership of their learning. Consider building in longer-term projects that require student investment at each and every stage. #learning
