Abstract :
VISION is a teacher-enhancement program which helps bridge the gap between the technological capabilities of secondary school students and the technological requirements for the work force. In this program, middle and high school teachers participate as a group. Local industry personnel familiarize participants with methodologies and with applications of mathematics, science, and technology. University faculty assist teachers in translating these industry experiences into the classroom. An ongoing community partnership results, which continues to address local education and technology issues
