Tele-Tutoring – From Learning to Earning Part IV: The School-to-Work Program; The Student's Perspective

This is the forth in a series of papers that describe RJ Lee Group’s (RJLG) Schoolhouse Project, an educational outreach initiative designed to evaluate the potential of using high technology analytical instrumentation (e.g., scanning electron microscope) to enhance high school science/technology classes. The project is being undertaken in partnership with West Greene School District, located 90 miles from Pittsburgh in Southwestern Pennsylvania. The first paper discussed the program and the objectives of the educational/business partnership, which include providing exceptional educational and business opportunities to the West Greene students; motivating students to pursue advanced education, especially in math, computer sciences, engineering, and the basic sciences; enriching the educational experience beyond that commonly available to students in rural communities; and improving the general attractiveness of the region for business growth.[1] The second paper discussed RJ Lee Group’s efforts related to the development of the WebSEMTM, which permits control and operation of Personal SEM (PSEM) over the Internet. The WebSEM allows the PSEM to be used as a shared resource thus increasing it’s utility as an educational tool.[2] Last year, Jim Lang, a high school chemistry teacher at West Green, discussed how he has used the PSEM in his first year chemistry and advanced (college level) classes.[3] A key component of the project is the establishment of an incubator laboratory extension of RJ Lee Group at the West Greene high school. The laboratory is being designed with broadband Internet access and video conferencing technology to facilitate distance learning activities and remote WebSEM use. The laboratory is designed to function as an SEM/Computer Learning Laboratory during the school day and as a business during the evenings and weekends. This paper discusses the RJ Lee Group school-to-work program and the lessons learned from working with two West Greene student employees over the past year.
