Basic skills program connects school, work

Article Abstract:

The Applied Basic Skills Program of the Newark School system is presented. It was noticed that inner-city students easily lose interest in their studies because they cannot see the connection between what they are studying and real-life situations. Thus, the Newark program was implemented to show how skills learned in school are applied in the students' lives. Basic skills teachers and applied subject matter instructors co-teach subjects. For example, a lesson in mathematics would include an explanation by an auto mechanic on how the lessons learned are used in computations needed to repair acar.
