Some students at the Lincoln PK-8 School are learning on-the-job lessons through a new work program.
The “Lincoln Leaders Work Program” is giving students in the cross-categorical classroom opportunities to build life skills and work skills, and to incorporate leadership and work ethic within the school setting.
These students are learning new skills in a safe and inclusive environment while incorporating math, employment, and communication skills through a work-to reward system.
The work program encourages students to come to school. As Lincoln Leaders, students are a part of something bigger than themselves; they feel a sense of responsibility and belonging within their school environment. When students are responsible for the appearance of their school building, they take more pride in how it is being cared for.
To participate, each student filled out an application and interviewed for potential school jobs. Once hired, they are expected to implement their daily/weekly school jobs during a time agreed upon by teachers. After completing their jobs (monthly), the students earn Lincoln Leaders Bucks. They learn to be responsible and maintain a budget. They spend their earnings at the school store.
