Ms. Holly Walker, part lime instructor; Bill Godschall, SEE instraetor and now Diffusion director; and June Reynolds, aide, view some of the products assembled in the Simulated Employee Experience class at East campus. Good ideas should be shared: that is the concept behind the recent state grant of $60,000 to McHenry high school. The money was given through a special state fund, Title IV of the Federal Elementary and Secondary Education act, to spread programs which work to other school districts throughout the state. The program in question is the Simulated Employee Experience class at East campus, and it is the first educational program in the history of the McHenry county area to be so chosen. The process by which the school got the grant was a very difficult one. The program had to show that students did indeed achieve the objectives of the program, and prove it statistically. According to Dr. Jack Kavanaugh of Loyola university, who did the statistical work for the project, the validation team who studied the results of the McHenry program was the toughest he'd ever encountered. But the results are well worth it, in the praise and recommendation the program is receiving, as well as the $60,000 grant itself. What is this SEE program that the state is praising so highly? Bill Godshall, Project director explains: "The Simulated Employee Experience (SEE) program is a unique prevocational program that has been developed at McHenry high school. In the past, employers have pointed out to school officials that many students lack basic work skills. The SEE program has been designed to meet this need by providing students with job skills while they are still in school. Norb Wolter, assistant principal at East, is regarded as the "guiding light" for the project. He and Dennis Welter developed the written proposal which was necessary for funding. . "The program is taught in a woodworking shop where students design and manufacture simple wooden products which are then sold. All money that results from the sale of the products is used to purchase more materials. "Classes are small and student foremen assist teachers in setting production goals and standards. They also assist in seeing to it that students under them operate equipment safely and efficiently. As each product is completed, another student is chosen as foreman so that all students can experience the responsibility of the job. In this way all students learn to give and take orders, follow directions, and work together safely. "As one can well imagine, mistakes are occasionally made. The importance of the program is that they are made and their consequences learned by the student before he is humiliated by being fired from a real job. "The improvement in the design and quality of the products during the course of the school year is a sure sign to the students and everyone else that they are improving, learning, and developing pride in a job well done. The success of the program is directly related to the success of the students who are part of it." Kevin Stott displays his talent with the vertical sander as he competes work on the end of a board.
