Clackamas county moves ahead in education V 1st place winner in journalism news writing by Sarah Schlosser Canby High School While the United States has lagged behind other nations edu cationally, Clackamas County is moving ahead. In January, Clackamas County received a grant from the Clinton Administration that totals $15 million over the next three years. This money targets a re gional school-to-work transition system that will educate the area’s youth for the 21st century job market. John Quiggle, Clackamas County consortium liaison for high schools and the community college, said the goal of the pro gram is to link “learning in the schools to learning in the work place.” Quiggle hopes to achieve this goal through a three-step pro gram. The first aspect of school-to- work is awareness. This occurs on the K-8 level. This is focused on simply exposing young people to careers through field trips to a workplace and guest lecturers. The 9-12 grade students ex perience the exploratory leg of the program. This gives high school students opportunities to partici pate in a two to three hour “job shadow,” get involvedf in a mentorship program and an ac tual five week work experience. This area is crucial in the program because “Seventy percent of people learn better by doing than sitting in a room learning theo retical knowledge,” said Quiggle. Quiggle went on to say that the college level, grades 13 and 14, links the knowledge and ex ploratory steps and culminates into a “practicum” experience. The practicum experience puts students to work in industry and thus benefits both student and employer. “[The practicum] literally connects two cultures — school and work,” Quiggle said. He also emphasized that stu dents can truly help businesses. “You have a lot to give,” Quiggle said. The school-to-work program attempts to educate students about more than just the technical as pects of employment. It also teaches students the critical think ing skills and cooperation — both Ike Cfatctamw Pwi Stott of which are key to success in the workplace. “When you go into the world of work... rarely do you do anything independently,” said Quiggle. By instructing students in the school- to-work program, Quiggle hopes to eliminate what he calls “the freezer effect.” He explained that the current education system simply requires students to take information and store it in a freezer until they need to defrost and use it. Quiggle hopes that knowledge and learning will be come a useful tool that is never stored in the freezer. Another benefit of school-to- work is its cohesiveness with the new Certificates of Initial Mastery (CIM) and Certificates of Ad vanced Mastery (CAM) recently implemented in Oregon.

CIM and CAM program calls for career exploration and Quiggle’s program goes beyond that. Although the school-to-work program has already had a great success on the community college level, difficulties occurred with the high schools. Colleges have a long-standing relationship with industry. The high schools in Clackamas have problems locat ing businesses that want to par ticipate. Quiggle, however, is confident that more employers will get involved in school-to- work as the program grows. Overall, Quiggle is optimis tic about school-to-work and sees Clackamas County as having implemented a “monumental” program. “We should all be very proud of what we are doing in Clackamas County,” he said.
