Goal

The purpose of this project is to provide students with exceptionalities a meaningful way to experience the value of work through recognition and rewards for their participation and effort.

What will be done with my students

Throughout the school year, students will work on the Moorings Park campus alongside staff mentors in various departments, such as dining services, activities, housekeeping, and maintenance. Each student is paired with a mentor who provides guidance, models workplace behavior, and supports skill-building. To celebrate and reinforce positive participation, students will earn reward points each day they engage in their work experience. These rewards are symbolic yet meaningful, offering recognition for their effort, dedication, and growth. Students will be responsible for tracking their accumulated rewards, promoting accountability and self-management. Student can then redeem their reward points for gift cards to various locations.

• Demonstrate employability skills such as punctuality, following instructions, and working collaboratively with mentors.
