Summer Internet classes planned for teachers

The Santa Clara County Office of Education this summer will offer teachers summer instruction on putting the power of the Internet to work in classrooms.

The Internet institute will offer Kindergarten through 12th grade teachers eight days of instruction along with follow-up sessions during the upcoming school year. Participants will learn to integrate the Internet and the newly adopted California Content Standards into their classrooms.

Training will take place at 25 separate sites in Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, Monterey, San Benito, San Mateo, Santa Clara and Santa Cruz counties.

Three eight-day sessions will be offered: July 6-15; July 20-29 and August 3-12. Follow-up sessions will be offered in November and February.

Deadline for registration is June 1. For additional information, contact Judy Powers, 453-6523 or Gene Agee, 453-6763

School alternatives available at WVC

Students unhappy with the high school social scene have the opportunity to get off campus while completing their required courses, thanks to West Valley College's "Middle College" program.

Students are recommended for the program by teachers, counselors or principals and must complete an interview and application process. Those accepted in the program spend half their school day covering regular high school curriculum at West Valley College and the remainder taking college courses of their choice.

For more information about the program, contact Joseph Samuels, 741-2052.
