By Joe Kolesar Schoolteachers and area manufacturers are bringing hands-on workplace experience into the classroom, allowing students to see how the skills they learn relate to real jobs. The teachers spent time on the job at area businesses and are incorporating what they learned into appropriate areas of study.
Businesses expect to benefit from the program.
The curriculum modifications will teach students skills that are more appropriate, alert them to the vast array of jobs available, and reinforce the importance of their classroom education, better preparing them to join the work force. It s hands-on. I think most people learn better from that type of experience. We will have better workers in the end. N.C. Stauffer hosted Mountain View High School technology education teacher Ronald Barankovich.
