ETHICS IN THE WORKPLACE “Doing the Right Thing”

If a person has a good work ethic, others see them as being responsible, dependable, and trustworthy. They have achieved a level of integrity that is highly regarded in the world of work. One source (Miller & Coady) suggests that “work ethic refers to the beliefs, values, and principles that guide the way individuals interpret and act upon their job rights and responsibilities within the work context at any given time.” This assignment is about ethics. Throughout your life you will be faced with many situations, which will require you to make decisions and follow through with actions based on your sense of right and wrong. Your life experiences and personal convictions can be your guide to doing the right thing. “Work joyfully and peacefully knowing that right thoughts and right efforts inevitably bring about right results.”…James Allen This assignment is in three parts representing your past, your present, and your future. You will examine:
1. How your beliefs, values, and principles were formed and reinforced. 2. How these qualities help you behave ethically in your current workplace. 3. What you expect of yourself in your future career.

The pupil must have successfully completed 50% or more of the minimum number of minutes allowed for OF a State-Approved CTE program. [This equates to 6 segments of the 12 segments required for a State-Approved CTE program.]
Vocationally certificated teachers or coordinators may use Blackboard, Moodle, or another web-managed tool for the 40-minute capstone requirement instead of the pupil returning to the related CTE program or to a “capstone class.”
4. Unpaid Training State-Approved CTE Less-Than-Class-Size (LTCS) Programs
Because LTCS programs are equivalent to regular CTE programs where all 12
segments must be delivered in order to qualify, these programs must be more than one semester or trimester in length.
LTCS Programs are required to report their instructional design using the 12 segment structure on CTEIS.
In-District (In-School) Placements In-school placements are only be allowed for high school students who are either: (1) placed from a related state-approved career and technical education (CTE) program, or (2) directly related to the postsecondary career and employment goals and objectives in the pupil’s transition services plan developed for a pupil receiving special education services. If an in-district placement relates to a state-approved CTE program, the completed in-district placement agreement MUST identify the program serial number (PSN). If the PSN is not filled in, it WILL result in an FTE deduction. An in-district placement is not an experiential learning course. Non-CTE Work-Based Learning Placements (Grades 9-12)

I am glad that you have chosen to become a WBL student! This handbook provides information and guidance to enable WBL students to have a successful experience. Please refer to this handbook when you have a question or contact Mrs. Lynch at (517) 655‐2142, ext. 7290.
The WBL experience is designed to build on skills acquired in coursework. This experience provides students with a combination of school‐based preparation and supervised work experience intended to enable students to acquire attitudes, skills, and knowledge for career and other life roles in real work settings. Goals of this experience include:
teach employability and technical skills, develop a sense of personal responsibility, explore career options, gain job/site specific skills, foster work‐oriented relationship with adults, understand the relevance of and the application to academic
learning, and provide alignment with the student’s career pathway and
educational development plan.
As businesses and industries in Michigan confront the challenges of a competitive and global economy, they have discovered that engaging youth in structured, well‐organized programs at the workplace is a strategy being used to develop a skilled workforce. Nationally, organizations were surveyed and discovered that those organizations, which participated in work‐based programs that brought youth into the workplace saw evidence of positive characteristics displayed by their workforce. The workforce was more likely to:
have more years of schooling use computers as part of their job use job rotation, benchmarking, and other total quality
Introduction
