Hello SeaJUG,
Small request in advance to not flame as off-topic as this is not Java
specific, but it certainly is relevant to the experiences of future
programming professionals:
TEALS (Technology, Education and Literacy in Schools) is a grassroots
program that recruits, mentors and places passionate high tech
professionals into high school classes as part-time teachers. The high-tech
professional brings his or her subject knowledge and joins a classroom
teacher (who has teaching and classroom management expertise) in a
team-teaching model. TEALS provides training for both parties as well as
course outlines based on successful college courses. More information about
TEALS is available on their website at http://www.tealsk12.org.
The Kent School District has applied for this program for Kentlake High
School for the 2014-15 school year because we intend to offer AP Computer
Science. While TEALS is anxious to work with them, they do not currently
have any mentors in the Kentlake area and are asking for help with
recruiting. If you or someone you know would be interested in
volunteering, please contact:
