Clackamas county moves ahead in education
V
1st place winner

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. The

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.
