Inside Education:Community participation program kicks off its first-in-a-series seminar
ROP Instructor Tim Hurd informs Inside Education participants as ROP Construction Technology student at Watsonville High School learns his craft. County Superintendent of Schools Michael Watkins, supported by district superintendents and administrators and COE staff, has initiated a new program called Inside Education. The mission of the program is to build public awareness and support for public education by providing hands-on experience in educational settings. A series of intensive half-day seminars will educate participants on issues and opportunities, successful programs offered, challenges, and the business of educating and preparing students for the 21st century.
Judy Johnson, Erik’s Deli; Martina O’Sullivan, Dominican Hospital; Carole Mulford, COE; and Cecelia Espinola, County Human Services Department, learn about the career opportunities provided by enrollment in the ROP Medical Occupations class at Aptos High School. One day each month, this group of community leaders (listed below) will travel throughout the county for an inside look at public education. Superintendent Watkins kicked off the nine-month series on October 23, in a welcome and introduction to the first day of activity titled, It’s No Longer Vocational Ed – It’s Career Tech.
