Summary
This Flex PBL is intended to be in the second wave of projects students engage with as they
return to school for the 2020-2021 academic year. The topic of this project directly aligns with one component of the JAG Model – The Career/Professional Association (CA/PA). The CA is a student-led organization that operates within your program and promotes Leadership Development. The Career Association builds on competency-based projects and provides opportunities for students to develop, practice, and refine their leadership and teamwork skills. All JAG participants are members of the Career Association and have the opportunity to earn leadership roles within the club/organization. By being a member of an organization, participants sense of ownership is enhanced and involvement is increased.
Career (or Professional)* Associations for each JAG Program is student-led and advised by the Specialist. The Career Association is a vehicle through which the JAG program conducts their projects by developing a Plan of Work. This plan should lay out the projects planned for the year, encompassing each of the five goals of the Association:
-
Leadership Development
-
Career Preparation
-
Civic Awareness
-
Social Awareness
-
Community Service/Service Learning
