Meet Jan Jardine

Members of the Work-Based Learning Division are professionals working to provide students with authentic learning experiences in business and industry. These professionals are educators, counselors, and school-to-work/work-based learning coordinators. Members of this division involve students in experiences on all levels of the work-based learning continuum.

This division provides guidance and resources in offering quality work-based learning experiences for students, as outlined under the work-based learning element within the ACTE High Quality Framework. This division can also assist those in states that choose to report on work-based learning for the new Perkins program quality indicator or in other state accountability systems to strengthen their student outcomes.

Special Thanks to WBL Division Annual Sponsor
