Staff, Computers Improve Curriculum The administration and staff worked diligently to improve cur- riculum for Cascade students this year. One such concerted effort by the staff resulted in a Carnegie Founda- tion grant. Cascade was one of 200 schools to be chosen out of a group of 1,600 schools, to receive up to $3,000. The money is to be used for school improvement projects that require modest financial support. Cascade used the money to finance a partnership project . The part- nership project was formed be- tween Cascade and Western Or- egon State College. Teachers from Cascade switched visits with college professors. The professors traveled to Cascade to teach and to offer suggestions for curriculum improvement. The grant was used to pay substitutes and other related expenses. Students and teachers from four high schools and two colleges in the area combined for a creative writing mini-course the last six weeks of the school year. The purpose of the class was to build a network of students and teachers who could interact via computers. Creative writing was chosen as a ilot program for the schools who ad received a grant from Apple Corporation. Other classes project- ed for inter-school computer in- struction were Pascal computer programming, calculus, and ad- vanced chemistry or physics. Four students each were enrolled from Cascade, Jefferson, Stayton, and Regis High Schools. At Cas- cade, the students were sopho- mores Kris Clifford and Tanya Fough and juniors Tami Gower and Kristie Woods. A Jefferson High School teacher prepared and evaluated the lessons. The students received assignments from a computer and completed them via telephone line to a central point, called a bulletin board. Other schools provided mentor teachers to supervise the students who worked independently for the most part. Senior English teacher Errol Hogan was mentor teacher at Cascade.
