Abstract
The Harbor Freight Fellows Initiative gives students who have demonstrated outsized competence in a trade – but who may be struggling in a traditional high school or career and technical education (CTE) program –opportunities to learn a trade with a mentor in a workplace. The author describes how this program requires educators to deepen their understanding of their students and to widen their understanding of what learning looks like.
