Work/Study Rules and Policies Handbook
OVERALL PHILOSOPHY OF THE WORK/STUDY PROGRAM/
The Learning Prep School Work/Study Program, in accordance with the Massachusetts State Curriculum, emphasizes a gradual
release of responsibility leading to a student’s independence.
Overview
Aligned with the philosophy of Learning Prep School, the Work/Study Program enables students to develop qualities, skills and
behaviors necessary to become successful in a workplace environment. The basis of the Program is to provide prevocational
training to enhance students’ employability skills. Students attend work and school on alternating weeks and are guided by teachers
and Work/Study Job Coaches to manage 25 hours of employment (either paid or volunteer) each work week and out of class academic
assignments. Strategies are implemented to encourage progress and enhance growth of the student worker in all aspects of a job.
Students become familiar with advocacy skills to access accommodations necessary to compensate for their challenges, as well as
learn the necessary organizational skills to enable them to complete larger assignments with longer-term deadlines.
Each student has a Job Coach who assists with the transition to the Work/Study Program, facilitates the job application process as
needed, and supports the student throughout his or her employment. Initially, Job Coaches receive input regarding students’ learning
profiles; read documents/files of students (e.g., IEPs); develop and model positive work tasks and behaviors; clarify rules and
expectations of job sites; break down tasks; and develop strategies such as writing out task cards and pocket-sized notebooks to
include multiple directions. They support students in using these accommodations, either in-person, over the phone, or via email.
The Work/Study Program allows students to excel and receive positive reinforcement in a workplace environment. Often this is a
very new experience to the learner. The Program shows students that they can be successful adults, it provides credits to students
towards graduation, and teaches responsibility and confidence. As you will read in the Rules and Policies, Learning Prep students are
held to high expectations and must meet them regularly in order to maintain their position.
Employers, colleges, transition, and vocational/training programs view the Work/Study Program very highly and believe Learning
Prep students are well prepared to take the next step in their lives after graduation. Students develop professional resumes, good
work habits, and self-confidence through their experiences in the Program.
Criteria for the Work/Study Program
1. The student must have accumulated academic credits equivalent to three (3) yrs. in an approved high school program.
2. Administrative, Academic, Vocational and Support staff must agree and recommend that the student has potential to be
successful in the Work/Study Program.
3. Based on results from the Junior Screening, the level of independence of the student at their internship will be determined.
4. The student must demonstrate an effort to participate in some beginning work experience. He/she must be willing to visit job
sites, complete applications, participate in the interview process, make follow-up telephone calls and be open to Work/Study
staff speaking with job sites.
WORK BASED OBJECTIVES
1. Work Based Objectives
Job Coaches establish student’s goals and assess them utilizing the Massachusetts Work-Based Learning Plan (WBLP), which was
developed by the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education. The WBLP is a diagnostic, goal setting and assessment
tool designed to drive learning and productivity on the job. Work/Study students agree to work on these goals and accept
support from the Work/Study Department. The Work/Study staff at LPS work in conjunction with the student and worksite
supervisors to assess progress of these goals, and provide additional on-site and educational support when necessary.
Examples of the type of reteaching which will be implemented to support work based goal success:
Behavior/Skills
Late to work/late returning from break
Absent from work/not calling
Attitude issues: negative towards workers/supervisors
Consequence/Reteaching Activities to learn Behavior/Skills
Time management activities, watch/clock concept review
Phone skills review: frequent phone check-ins with W/S dept on
work week
Task card implementation, mtg. with Work Supervisor reviewing
expectations, break down of tasks, and additional job coaching
Role-plays, videotaping and social skill activities with LPS staff
Schoolwork not submitted (2 in more than 1 class)
Attend to miss schoolwork on work week
Work assignments not completed

more frequent site calls or visits, while the Job Coach may observe/communicate with others on an as-needed basis.
Students are required to report any work related problems as soon as possible. Students are required to complete a
Performance Journal, reporting on-the-job experiences. This is a requirement and is submitted each school week in the students
Career Education class. Students are expected to provide accurate reports of their work experiences. In the event that

WORK/STUDY JOB PLACEMENT LEVELS
The Work/Study Program is comprised of students with varying goals/objectives, work skills and needs for interventions. The
following categories describe student workers at various levels of independence. Our students may begin in one level and change to a
different level. Needs for intervention are determined by the Work/Study staff.
LEVEL 1 WORK EXPERIENCE
Students:
 Are not ready for competitive employment and are not ready to work independently.
 Will work 25 hours.
 Require initial job/internship set up and training by the LPS Job Coaches.
 Require accommodations/modifications of tasks to maximize their skills.
 Benefit from groups that focus on employability skills, including pragmatic language groups.
 Are provided support in completing their academic work through homework folders and homework sheets to help break up
the work into manageable parts.
LEVEL 2 WORK/STUDY:
Students:

 Will gradually phase out (time period dependent on students’ level of independence), but Job Coach will continue to
maintain phone/communication with the Site Supervisor.
 May also come into school one day per work week to gain support completing homework.
LEVEL 3 WORK/STUDY:
Students:
 May require job set up only.
 Handle own schedule & work independently.

Worksite visits by Job Coach: Job Coach will call/email Worksite Supervisors at an agreed upon time to schedule time to
observe the LPS student. At a meeting following the site observation the job Coach will discuss successes, goal progress &
possible accommodations with Worksite Supervisor and Work/Study student. The Job Coach will make every attempt to
accommodate the Worksite Supervisor’s schedule when setting up times to observe. If the problem persists, the Worksite
Supervisor will work with the Job Coach to create accommodations or new goals for student.
b.
Worker Progress Reports: The employer will complete a Learning Prep School Work/Study Evaluation form each quarter. A
copy will be sent at the end of each term to be reviewed with student and then returned by a certain date. (Sample of form at
