For Transition to Work students, the trip to Monroe’s Ochard and Farm Market in Hiram taught students about employment skills and responsibilities of employment in the orchard. Teaching Professions students learned the ropes in field trip planning and student supervision as each future teacher was teamed up with a Transition to Work student. The group also made a stop at the Hiram Farm that serves developmentally disabled adults with an emphasis of those on the autism spectrum. Students learned about the mission of the farm and the various jobs that one could hold.
