Title of your research paper: Should schools expand their work base learning for high school student careers?
Thesis statement: Work based learning is commonly taken to refer to structured learning opportunities to lead students to their potential career path.
I. Introduction A. History and Background Info. #1: Smith- Hughens Act of 1917. This was the first vocational educational act which required states to form state vocational education boards in order to receive federal funds. This act expanded feral funding to the states for work study programs.
B. History and Background Info. #2: The Smith-Hughens Act encouraged more K-12 students to finish school.
C. General Beliefs View #1: Most believe if you are learning about your career

Rebuttal? It’s never pointless to help a student who is lost find the light.
C. Concluding sentence and transition: Explain how the examples for main point #1 support the thesis: With all said and done student would be able to learning about many different careers that may interest them.
III. Topic sentence for main point (support) #2: Many high school only teach students about the basics.
A. Subtopic (example #1) from main point #2: If students only learn the basics in high school they will leave high school with a basic mind.
1. Explanation and connection: High school learning is so broad and teachers try to narrow everything in one semester and that is very impossible, not to mention most of the things students learn is pointless in real world predicaments.
2. Explanation and connection: Studies state when teachers teach about real world issues students are more engaged with the lesson.
3. Counterargument? Some may argue that teachers try to include real world situations in class, for example in math.
4. Rebuttal? Most real world situations teachers talk about is only to a certain profession.
B. Subtopic (example #2) from main point #2: Students who only learned the basics in high school find it very difficult to keep up in college and find jobs later on in
Sponsored by U.S. Senator H. L. Dawes , the aim of the act was to
According to Barton, this Act required public school education to be found on God’s Word in all communities so that children would receive an education based on God’s Word. This Act would not only be an important foundation for American education but as bases on foreign nation’s education. This was also an important Act because children received a Biblically based education they were able to recognize when a law went against God’s Word.
It is obvious that education, whether classroom instruction or practical drill, advice or entreaty, must ensure that students are positively involved, that they at least listen and pay attention to the words, actions, and the thoughts of their educators, instead of drifting off or doing something else, or simply leaving to try to learn what they need on their own (Prange 74).
1965- The Higher Education Act was first implemented to allow for a higher funding to go to schools to improve the qualities of the literature and materials used for learning. Another large part of the Higher Education Act was to increase federal aid to those that are looking for college degrees. It opened up many scholarship opportunities, enabled the ability to produce student loans, and also established the National Teachers
teachers and students. It is true that students that this will help to increase their reasoning
T he Act include increased accountability for States, school districts, and schools; greater choice for parents and students, mainly those attending low-performing schools; more flexibility for States and local educational agencies (LEAs) in the use of Federal education dollars; and a stronger emphasis on reading, especially for our youngest, low income, and minority children. (OVERVIEW Executive SummaryARCHIVED INFORMATION)
Students spend four years of their lives attending high school. Going through high school is mandatory as it prepares them for college and strength to face “the real world.” Having part-time jobs has become the phenomenon among high school students and many students follow this trend as well. Moreover, there are some pros and cons attached with it. Though it may seem like working throughout high school is a bad idea, it could better prepare students for “the real world.” Although some people believe that the primary duty of a student is studying, I am of the opposite position. I strongly support the idea that high school students should work throughout high school. This is because they can earn money, become responsible and get experience.
With all this help from the high schools, I think students would be more likely to be successful in college because they will have all the skill sets they need from gaining them throughout high school. Other then that high schools should be preparing students for college because they at the beginning of the start of their careers. It’s clear that this is becoming more of an important issue because students need to be ready for what’s coming when they make it to college and it’s the high schools job to prepare them for
Many students are at different levels of their education. Some students retain information better than their classmates. This method of learning has given the students that are struggling the opportunity to spend time on material they are struggling on. Also, this gives students the ability
Most students have never experienced this type of learning. They aren’t familiar with taking the risks necessary to take on this learning. Their experience in high school has been completely teacher-centered instruction and it is hard to let go of this old habit. Without proper encouragement and instruction the student is likely to fail and fall back into the familiar style of learning that has led to their current success. Without clearly understanding their role it is likely they will not succeed. This is a complete shift in both the teaching and the learning process and will take time to take root for both the student and the
Work-based learning (WBL) as a method for learning is playing an increasing role in professional development and lifelong learning. There are lots of publications/articles available on Work-Based Learning, but the definitions and implementations vary from place to place. A Glass, K Higgins and A McGregor say that ‘Work based learning is any training that relates directly to the requirements of the jobs on offer in your organization’. This is one of the examples of WBL in the form of training. Work-based Learning is used as a terms in USA, for programs for school children to obtain experience from work (“Work-based Learning Guide 2002”). According to (Kathleen A. Paris and Sarah A. Mason) it gives a chance to young people to be prepared for the changeover from school to work and, to learn the realities of work and be prepared to make the right choice of work. In Europe (particularly in England, Scotland, Ireland) and in Australia available commendation is more focused on on-the-job preparation and on academic learning linked to work situations, Degree programs and negotiated learning programs.
A student is in a medical school course that requires the application of facts to real world situations. At first the student is nervous because he has never learned this way and is not sure if it will benefit him. For his first class his professor brought an emergency room doctor to come and speak to the students. Throughout the semester the students, like sponges, gain knowledge from their professor and the guest speakers that is later applied to the lab. At the end of the semester the students have a test where they need to identify an illness based on what the patient tells them. In order to complete this they must know facts about many illnesses and carefully listen to each patient. This is a clear example of education that requires both types,that Freire had discussed, working in
It is often said, that high school, prepares a student for college. For certain, a student is being prepared, but only for what the world has to offer, and that is making choices on what to pursue. Certainly, most people would concur with this statement. But, the fact to consider is, that high school does not prepare a student for the major difference in the challenge.
College student find that college is a big academic jump from high school that will require time and planning. Students have hard time keeping up with their lessons due to poor study habits and time management. Coral Carter says that the number one reason that college student’s dropout is due to the fact that “college students are unprepared to
I believe that Face to Face learning is better than online learning because students have access to various learning resources on campus verses off. Face to face allows students to have instant gratification with answers and help. When a student is in class they can ask questions while it is fresh on their mind or help with a particular problem. If the student was at home online they would have to wait for the instructor to email them back. Is that really more conducive to a person’s education and learning?
