Transition Programming
New Jersey鈥檚 county special services school districts prepare students to transition out of their school environments through both Work-Based Learning (WBL) and Community-Based Instruction (CBI).Work-Based Learning
Work-Based Learning, formerly known as Structured Learning Experiences, includes experiential, supervised and in-depth learning activities that connect classroom instruction with real-world workplace settings.
WBL gets students into a work setting or recreates one so students can learn and practice work readiness skills.
The goal is to prepare students for successful employment.
Community-Based Instruction
Community-Based Instruction involves sustained, repeated instructional activities in community settings outside the school building to teach functional, academic and life skills.
Examples include navigating public transportation and ordering off a menu.
The goal of CBI is to prepare students with the skills needed for greater independence.
Power of Partnerships
Both WBL and CBI benefit from community partnerships to expand opportunities for students to step off school campuses and challenge themselves to learn and develop new skills.
