The school-based learning component of a School-to-Work
Opportunities program shall include--

(beginning at the earliest possible age, but not later than the 7th

and select or reconsider, their interests, goals, and career majors,
including those options that may not be traditional for their
gender, race, or ethnicity;
(2) initial selection by interested students of a career major
not later than the beginning of the 11th grade;
(3) a program of study designed to meet the same academic
content standards the State has established for all students,
including, where applicable, standards established under the Goals
2000: Educate America Act [20 U.S.C. 5801 et seq.], and to meet the
requirements necessary to prepare a student for postsecondary
education and the requirements necessary for a student to earn a
skill certificate;
(4) a program of instruction and curriculum that integrates
academic and vocational learning (including applied methodologies
and team-teaching strategies), and incorporates instruction, to the
extent practicable, in all aspects of an industry, appropriately
tied to the career major of a participant;
(5) regularly scheduled evaluations involving ongoing
consultation and problem solving with students and school dropouts
to identify their academic strengths and weaknesses, academic
progress, workplace knowledge, goals, and the need for additional
learning opportunities to master core academic and vocational
skills; and
(6) procedures to facilitate the entry of students participating
in a School-to-Work Opportunities program into additional training
or postsecondary education programs, as well as to facilitate the
transfer of the students between education and training programs.
