Work-based learning is the intersection of project-based learning and social and emotional learning, as it invites students to work on real-world tasks that will facilitate their ability to obtain employment. The social and emotional learning component? Developing the soft skills, or interpersonal skills, necessary to thrive at work.

Work based learning highlight - The purposes of WBL are to build student awareness of potential careers, facilitate student exploration of career opportunities, and begin student preparation for careers. These awareness, exploration, and preparation activities help students make informed decisions about high school course and program enrollment and about postsecondary education and training.
"Hannah began working at Greater Midland Community Center in the Early Care and Education Department at the beginning of this school year. Hannah participates in the implementation of daily routines and age/developmentally appropriate learning opportunities. For Hannah this is also a learning and development opportunity as she is able to study child behavior and gain hands-on experience. Hannah can often be found sitting on the floor engaging and interacting with the students, providing high-quality care to the children that are enrolled in our program."
Great job Hannah - way to work like a Lancer!
Creekers for a Cause spent a day of their Thanksgiving Break giving back and serving others in our community. They started out their Saturday by preparing and serving a meal at Open Door, a homeless shelter in Midland. Then, they helped to spread Christmas cheer by working alongside beloved teacher Mrs. MacLachlan's family to decorate their yard.
Educational Careers students planned and taught short lessons to their internship classes this week for Kindness Week. Mrs. Chappel's first graders enjoyed their bucket-filling lesson with Junior, Katie Vauhkonen.
