Teachers, businesses partner on 'externships' - JENNIFER NOBLIT, Dublin Villager

Lesson plans will soon have more real-world connections. Next week 31 Dublin City School staff members will participate in the new externship program that pairs teachers with professionals to create problem-based learning lessons for the classroom. The externships are part of Dublin's K to Career program, funded through a Straight A Grant from the state. The four-day program includes at least one teacher from each Dublin school and 15 mentors from local companies and universities. http://www.thisweeknews.com/content/stories/dublin/news/2015/06/09/k-to-career-program-teachers-businesses-partner-on-externships.html
