Talk:Work Education Program

-- Cpcampbell88 (talk) 18:25, 23 November 2014 (EST)

Hi Liz,

I love your course idea! I think the topic is so important for all teachers to read about! A few years ago I was a job coach for students with severe disabilities so I understand the necessity of this course. I think you provide great examples and visuals for the reader. The visuals and pictures are helpful for the learner to understand the task at hand. I also like that you include task analysis examples. Are your participants going to try these our strategies or discuss the use of them?

I'm looking forward to reviewing your course! Catherine

Chris' Feedback -- Chdcheung (talk) 14:08, 24 November 2014 (EST)

Hi Liz,

I think this is a great topic that will help a lot of students! Getting essential skills isn't always easy, but through hands-on experience, students can learn new things and get actual experience for their resumes!

Looking at the course introduction page, there is a lot of information about what Work Education Programs are. I think this is great because at first, I had no idea what those are, but now I do. I also like that you explain what needs to be done in order to start a WEP, so your audience can actually implement the things you're teaching.

Looking at the In-Class Lessons section, I like that you made the heading of the section a link to the page. This makes it very easy to navigate your course. I think that the In-Class Lessons page could use the same headings, that way the content is separated. This might make it easier for people to differentiate the different portions of the page.

I noticed that your course isn't broken down into Units, but that's alright because you've separated it into various topics. It's the same thing, just with different wording.

Can't wait to learn more about WEP's!

instructor comment on your mini-course -- Jianwei Zhang (talk) 14:27, 1 December 2014 (EST)

I'm pleased to see your mini-course coming into its final shape. You may reflect on your mini-course based on the project's evaluation criteria to identify areas of improvements. Here are a few examples:

• Your portfolio page needs updating with some the sections (e.g. task analysis)
• Objectives: Your objectives (copied below) need to map onto and be consistently addressed by your mini-course. In the course intro page, add information about whom this course is designed for, and provide an overview of how the two sections that address the following four objectives.

Prepare aids for students in a WEP (Blooms Taxonomy Application) Differentiate the lessons and aids for the students in their class (Blooms's Taxonomy Analysis) Collect data on their students at work program locations (Bloom's Taxonomy Synthesis) Set up lessons for students in a WEP (Bloom's Taxonomy Synthesis)

• Engagement and interaction: Make the content more interesting and accessible, such as by giving examples of WEPs and related tools.
• Navigation: add link to your course home in the end of each unit
