Coordinator of Work-based Learning
The Coordinator of Work-based Learning program is in the Career and Technical Educator Preparation Department (CTE), which is one of six departments in the College of Education, Health, and Human Services.
Overview
This program comprises two courses that focus on developing competence essential in planning and organizing a work-based learning program for teachers seeking certification as coordinators of work-based learning programs. Study and practice in compiling and preparing occupational analyses, training outlines, community (business-industry) surveys and plans for instructional facilities are included.
Candidates must hold a valid initial, professional, or permanent New York State teacher certification in any title at the middle childhood education (grades 5-9), adolescence education (grades 7-12), or “all grade” levels, or school counselor certification. Additionally candidates shall have completed 600 clock hours of work experience outside of teaching in the classroom teaching service. For more information on clock hours please contact NYSED directly.
Outcomes
Successful completion of both courses, offered at both the undergraduate or graduate level, will provide you with the tools and skills necessary to implement and operate a Work-based Learning program. Work-based Learning programs are key components to the Career and Technical Education Endorsement for the New York State Regents diploma, and your certification extension in this area is crucial to CTE Endorsement for each student who meets the requirements.
