>>Subject: School-to-Work Project
>>
>>Colleagues,
>>
>>I teach Developmental Math at Guilford Technical CC in NC. I, along with
>>several others, have been assigned to a school-to-work project. Our
>>charter is to develop some supplemental math materials that we can use
>>in our developmental math classes [basic arithmetic through intermediate
>>algebra]. We have been given some release time to visit local industries
>>who are in partnership with the school to ascertain how math and
>>technology are presently being used in various local workplaces. Also,
>>we are looking at what math skills our students need in order to better
>>function in the workplace. We want to develop practical lab materials
>>that use math, technology, critical thinking and problem solving skills with
>>the AMATYC and NCTM standards in mind. We are developing labs for
>>our math courses as we re-engineer from the quarter to the semester
>>system beginning in the summer of 97.
>>
>>Many of you are probably involved in similar projects as we consider
>>workforce preparedness as an issue. I have been in touch with several
>>of you but there are probably many others from whom I could glean
>>some very valuable information. Perhaps you have developed an
>>information gathering tool such as a form to use when making workplace
>>interviews, etc. Perhaps you have already developed some basic
>>materials which would be a model fro which we could work. Any help
>>or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. As we develop relevant
>>lab materials we would be happy to share our work.
>>
>>This ability to network with colleagues in a timely way and expedite work
>>is truly wonderful. Thanks for your input folks...look forward to hearing
>>from you all.
