Students in Mrs. Zink's World History classes proved the assembly line is more efficient than individual labor. They created Spinning Zinles, origami toys, using an assembly line. Each student specialized in a different step and the assembly lines created more toys than individuals.

Work-based learning is the intersection of project-based learning and social and emotional learning, as it invites students to work on real-world tasks that will facilitate their ability to obtain employment. The social and emotional learning component? Developing the soft skills, or interpersonal skills, necessary to thrive at work. "Kelsey joined the Dow Credit Union team in August. The last few months she has been performing administrative work for our Member Solutions and Consumer Loan Departments. She assists with maintaining our title tracking records, document imaging and reports." Congratulations Kelsey on all of your hard work and dedication out in the field. Way to work like a LANCER!!

Work based learning highlight - The purposes of WBL are to build student awareness of potential careers, facilitate student exploration of career opportunities, and begin student preparation for careers. These awareness, exploration, and preparation activities help students make informed decisions about high school course and program enrollment and about postsecondary education and training. "Hannah began working at Greater Midland Community Center in the Early Care and Education Department at the beginning of this school year. Hannah participates in the implementation of daily routines and age/developmentally appropriate learning opportunities. For Hannah this is also a learning and development opportunity as she is able to study child behavior and gain hands-on experience. Hannah can often be found sitting on the floor engaging and interacting with the students, providing high-quality care to the children that are enrolled in our program." Great job Hannah - way to work like a Lancer!
