[Unfortunately, due to the federal shutdown, our federal participants were unable to join us.] A Spirit of Collaboration A common question asked by the field trip participants was how dependent the success in Louisville is on the individuals involved and the fact that everyone seems to know each other. Institutionalization, to a point , is one of the local goals to help avoid losing momentum if people are lost. Dr. Stephen Daeschener, Superintendent of the Jefferson County Public Schools , said, however, that being a newcomer did not prevent him from participating in the collaboration that preceded him.

SCHOOL TO WORK OPPORTUNITIES U.S. DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION U.S. DEPARTMENT OF LABOR School-to-Work GLOSSARY OF TERMS The National School-to-Work Office 400 Virginia Avenue, SW, Room 210 Washington, DC 20024 The School-to-Work Glossary of Terms was developed by state grantees, the National School-to-Work Office, and MPR Associates. School-to-Work is a joint initiative sponsored by the U.S. Departments of Education and Labor. The content does not necessarily reflect the views of the Departments or any other agency in the U.S. government. To order a copy Published by the National School-to-Work Office, Washington, DC, July 1996. Introduction School-to-Work (STW) is a new approach to learning in America's schools that links students, schools and workplaces. Locally-driven and community-based, it is an effort to reform education that combines high-level academic achievement with a graduated understanding of the world of work. A new way of preparing young people for their ultimate entry into the workplace, STW also encourages schools at secondary and postsecondary levels to develop school-to-Work systems cooperatively - together with employers, unions, civic groups, and other public and private sector organizations. Enacted into federal legislation in 1994, the School-to-Work Opportunities Act provides venture capital to states and communities that compete to bring school-to-work into their neighborhoods. The Act is jointly funded by the U.S. Departments of Labor and Education. As school-to-work systems emerge throughout the country, we believe a "common language" may help to describe the elements that comprise them. The School-to-Work Glossary of Terms offers a reference point to a multi-faceted and highly decentralized movement. Like the effort of the local partnerships that bring school-to-work into communities, the glossary's definitions are the result of an intense collaboration between State STW coordinators and their stakeholder colleagues.

Another federal education law, the School-to-Work Opportunities Act of 1994 ("School-to-Work Act"), This PEER Information Brief is designed to provide parents with information to assist them in making this aspect of school reform effective for youth with disabilities. It begins with a brief overview of the purpose, operation, and funding of the School-to-Work Act, followed by an overview of the law’s programmatic requirements. It then discusses how components of IDEA and the School-to-Work Act may be linked to reinforce one another to provide high quality educational and school-to-career transition opportunities for youth with disabilities.
