Who this is for
If your CTE program is required to document Work-Based Learning — and every program in ADE, TEA, FDOE, and most other state frameworks is — this session is built around the documentation that state reviewers actually ask for. Not general best practices. Specific records.
Most programs discover documentation gaps when a reviewer asks for them — not before. This session is designed to help you find the gaps first.

Opening poll
"How confident are you in your WBL documentation right now?" — audience self-assessment sets the stage

The documentation gap
What ADE, TEA, and FDOE actually require per student, per checkpoint — vs. what most programs actually produce. State-specific examples.

The 22-item audit checklist
Live walkthrough. Participants self-score in real time. The six required documentation elements reviewers check first.
0:25
Sample evidence packets
What a complete, audit-ready WBL checkpoint record looks like — from Culinary, Welding, and CNA pathways. Scenario, artifact, rubric, reflection, state indicator crosswalk.

How we solved it
The documentation framework developed over 16 years of CTE instruction — and how AI tools now automate the compilation process.
