5.7 Practicum Learning Experiences

Practicums are specific to a career cluster and combine classroom

instruction with learning experiences in a laboratory setting or at an

approved training site.

Practicums require that the local education agency and the training sponsor

plan and supervise instruction cooperatively. Students receive instruction by

participating in occupationally specific classroom instruction and training

site experiences.

Note: Time a student spends at a training site is instructionally engaged time,

up to 120 minutes per day. Required time at the training station counts toward

meeting full-time and half-time attendance requirements.
