Teaching teamwork, safety topics on next edition of 'REAL School'
Teaching teamwork and safety are the topics explored in the next edition of Duval County Public Schools’ student-oriented television program, "REAL School." The episode premieres this Sunday, April 6, at 10 a.m. on WJCT-TV, Channel 7, Comcast cable Channel 8.
The program, which is hosted by DCPS middle school students Hannah-Maria Roder and David Emanuel, begins with an examination – from a student point of view – of the KLASS class at Fort Caroline Middle School. KLASS, which stands for Kennedy Launch Academy Simulation System, challenges students to determine whether or not a space shuttle launch should take place. The students tell how subjects they learned in 6th, 7th and 8th grade math and science classes are put to use, under pressure, in a real-time, real-life launch simulation.
A second segment of the program details the teamwork necessary to design and build robots at Robert E. Lee High School. Students discuss their learning experiences in the program, which produced a 7th-place winning team last year in an international "botball" competition.
The sobering final segment of "REAL School" reveals what 750 DCPS high school students saw and learned last month at an anti-underage drinking rally. Students from Sandalwood, First Coast and Baldwin High schools appear.
"REAL School" is produced each month by WJCT-TV and the Communications Department of Duval County Public Schools. It premieres the first Sunday of every month at 10 a.m. on WJCT-TV, over-the-air Channel 7 and Comcast cable Channel 8. After each premiere, "REAL School" is televised each Monday at 9 p.m. on Comcast cable Channel 29.
