Talk:How to develop authentic skills in vocational education for MRDD Students

Hi Jane, authentic learning for MRDD students is a good topic. I thought I had some emails with you about this topic, so I did not feedback in this wiki space. --Jianwei 3/6

Feedback on your objectives

  1.  The learner will be able to help the consumer define various employment opportunities within a certain career category.
  2. The learner will be able to identify with the consumer careers or a jobs path that a consumer may be suited for.
  3. The learner will apply authentic learning to help the consumer understand the responsibilities and duties of a job.
  4. The learner will apply authentic assessments to help the consumer understand the job.
  5. The learner will research various support associations to help in local and national vocational counseling. 

As I see them, 2, 3, and 4 are the most important goals to address. No. 5 doesn't look like an objective following Gagne's rules. --Jianwei

I agree some how one needs to be addressed but it can be a task under number 2

Hi Jane,

Nice work in setting up your outline! Re. your map, I think it would be better if you could create the map following Gagne's example, which will help clarify the connections of the objectives.
