Jobs For Florida Graduates The JAG Advantage is based on a promise: JAG will give students an advantage that will set them apart from all other youth in today’s emerging workforce through student-centered programs that help young people achieve their fullest potential. JAG follows the Buck Institute for Education PBL model, a nationally recognized practice. JAG shifted to a PBL instructional strategy in 2015 as a vehicle to deliver JAG’s employability skills competencies, specific industry and employer content and engagement, and community problems and solutions. Elevating our education practice to this gold level standard ensures learners gain the benefit of real-world relevance that is critical to today’s workforce needs.JAG is a resiliency model. It demonstrates how to build relationships, gives learners voice and choice (even more so through PBL), teaches life skills, and helps learners overcome adversity. Employer engagement has been a cornerstone activity of the JAG program since inception. JAG elevates the practice by developing meaningful connections between our students and professionals, ideas and skills, and the classroom and real-life situations.School Improvement PlanSchool improvement plan will be presented to all stakeholders at each meeting.
