Summary:
|
PAES is a hands-on Comprehensive Work Development Curriculum that is set up in a typical sized school classroom.
It operates in a simulated work environment. Students become employees; teachers become supervisors. Strict procedures are followed so students get the feel of real work, at the same time learn and explore new career vocational areas. Each area has a comprehensive array of tasks for the students to perform. The instructor monitors the tasks and provides feedback and assistance where needed. Students are encouraged to become as independent as possible and are awarded for their progress. Students completing PAES have a thorough knowledge of many job skills and have a better understanding of the real working world. A comprehensive report is developed once a student has finished PAES. This report can easily be used to develop Career Development Plans, School-To-Work Plans, IEPs and Transition Plans.It provides the foundation basics for School-To-Work Transition Plans and provides students with real knowledge that is relevant to their lives. Students are encouraged to become independent problem solvers and develop higher order thinking skills. Teachers and students use this lab to assess a student's competitive work potential and interest level, while simultaneously exploring various jobs, using real tools, and developing proper work behaviors in the following five areas: Computer technology, construction/industrial, processing/production, consumer/service, business/marketing.
