Description
Summary:Video Job Shadows encourages students to develop questions about a job and offers them the chance to videotape a business person answering those questions about his or her job. The program can be an effective method of teaching high school students about the world of work and the specific requirements and responsibilities of some jobs in their community. This can also be an opportunity for students to learn the basics of videotaping and editing. The goals of this program are for students to develop and complete a Video Job Shadow of a business in their community, for students to become familiar with specific jobs, and for community business people to make a positive connection to the school and also to see the school valuing them and what they do. Specific instructions on how to set up the program and the resources that will be needed are given. The project is a practical way to connect school to the work environment. Connecting students to real-world jobs and these jobs requirements can affect students in ways that guest speakers and job fairs cannot. (RJM)
