Labor Market Information
In an effort to provide labor market information (LMI), GDOE is suggesting that instructors provide this information by placing labor market information on any instructor produced classroom handout. One may place the information in a bubble, a block, around the margin. The hope is that students will read the information and perhaps ask a question regarding the information. A TEACHABLE MOMENT!!! Examples of handouts might include worksheets, syllabus, and test. Below are examples of information that one might include on any instructor- produced handout.
