ever a dull moment The cold wind blew un- mercifully over the campus. Small scraps of paper and empfy chip bags blew in semi circles. The custodians were already hard at their work task. Suddenly, inside the crowded classrooms, the lights went out. Students automatically stopped work- ing. But outside the hustle and bustle atmosphere went on. Yellow jackets scam- pered everywhere, trying to maintain calm. Working at RHS gives me a chance to help the stu- dents better themselves, stated yellow jacket, John Mosher. Their tasks were to be peacemakers. Their jobs seemed to be a thankless. I ' ve been here for 20 years and it ' s fun working •JPJM2 ' with the students and stuff, stated custodian Rey Florez.

162 Count O n li l t t PLUS f kni Everybody ' s looking. Teachers proclaimed it. Administrators proclaimed it. Magazines — both pro- fessional and popular — ex- plained it: America is in the midst of a widespread pub- lic movement for education- al improvement. At RHS — with a staff de- scribed as big, diverse, and electic by Marie Mains, English teacher — a staff of over 230 worked each day to serve a student body of 3000. Improvement was nothing new to them. While the rest of the country was immersed in a burst of energetic improvement and involvement, RHS contin- ued its longtime quest for learning PLUS. The multi-talented staff re- ceived funds from AS551 and the California Teacher Instructional Improvement Program (CTIIP) to increase their expertise. According to an Eyry survey, approxi- mately 58% of the teaching staff continued their own educations by taking classes toward degrees or creden- tials. Obeying a state man- date, teachers attended in- services on child welfare. And, as a step toward earth- quake preparedness, they we re encouraged to attend classes on first aid. Last year, faculty meet- ings concerned writing new course descriptions. This year, those meetings con- sisted of educators compar- ing new course descriptions to a model curriculum pre- scribed by the state. Teachers rallied together in groups to improve their working environment and the likelihood of sharing ideas. Teachers continued the quest for learning PLUS+ Woodshop teacher Craig Klee- man observes as a student finishes the last stages oi his bookshelves. ol carve li :. Contest.
