SEfL Initiative:
A work-based learning and internship preparation strategy integrating literacy and 21st Century Skills
Today’s Workshop Goals
• Share SEfL vision and theory
• Provide materials and tools
• Lessons from the Field: SFUSD adoption of SEfL as internship preparation
Social Enterprises for Learning (SEfL)
• STC/WBL/CTE strategy, developed in 1998
• Three main outcomes:1. Social: provide benefits to a larger community or
general public2. Enterprise: produce goods or services for clients or
customers 3. Learning: enable participants to develop specified
kinds of knowledge and skills
• Applicable to a range of career themes and contexts
Why SEfL?
• SEfL Projects are authentic, inquiry-based learning opportunities
• Initiatives provide important professional/career context and give a professional trajectory to high school students
• Academy students are too often not prepared to take full advantage of internships as they are not prepared
SFUSD: SEfL as Internship Preparation
• Get inspired – develop relationships, share resources!
• Visioning, developing and improving enterprise
project ideas
• Working with clients
