Pregnant and parenting adolescents enrolled in the Graduation, Reality, and Dual-Role Skills Program (GRADS), with a work focus, will complete graduation requirements and concentrate on using effective communication skills, maintaining healthy relationships, demonstrating developmentally appropriate childcare skills, and managing interpersonal and family relationships. Students examine the legal rights of parents and guardians, as well as how workplace factors affect families. Emphasis is placed on applying employability skills and operating an early childhood learning environment. Contextual instruction and student participation in co-curricular career and technical student organization (CTSO) activities will develop leadership, interpersonal, and career skills. High-quality work-based learning (HQWBL) will provide experiential learning opportunities related to students' career goals and/or interests, integrated with instruction, and performed in partnership with local businesses and organizations.
