Learning happens beyond the walls of a physical classroom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One common example of field learning occurs through Career and Technical Education (CTE). Students in CTE participate in work-based learning (WBL), such as internships and apprenticeships, with companies in their field of study. Students may intern at local hospitals, childcare facilities, or veterinary clinics. CTE provides comprehensive academic and career opportunities through active, real-life settings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Challenges<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
When schools, students, and business partners are involved with WBL, they face two particular challenges:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
- Effectively, safely, and securely sharing student information between the parties to best support the student\u2019s learning outcomes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Tracking student performance and growth through WBL.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
Fortunately, Abre provides methods to address both challenges. We\u2019re going to address the second challenge by focusing on a simple performance metric.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Attendance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Abre Helps<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Abre brings every stakeholder into a common platform. This means students, staff, families, and business partners have a centralized means for growing students and viewing comprehensive student profiles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Attendance has a strong influence on student performance. Therefore, it\u2019s vital to know if students are showing up to their internships and apprenticeships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For business partners, taking attendance in Abre is a simple process:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
- Login with their regular email.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Navigate to their internship\/apprenticeship program.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Take attendance.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
