Jim: Welcome to Inside California Education,
I'm Jim Finnerty.
Today's students have grown up using cell phone video
cameras, but there is an art to turning that raw material
into films or newscasts.
Well, let's visit some schools that have created
a pipeline for students interested in digital media
that begins as early as elementary grades and
continues all the way through high school.

Michael: THE DAY BEGINS BEFORE DAWN FOR
VERNON BISHO'S ADVANCED MEDIA PRODUCTION STUDENTS
AT CENTER HIGH SCHOOL IN SACRAMENTO COUNTY.
Emmy: We get here about 6:45, school actually starts about
7:40, 7:45, so we're here about an hour before
everyone else is.
Bisho: Morning, Adele.
Adele: Morning Bisho.
Michael: THE STUDENTS ARE HERE EVERY MORNING,
FIVE DAYS A WEEK, TO PRODUCE THE SCHOOL'S DAILY NEWSCAST.
Bisho: Right here.
Keep going.
Back up, back up.
Let's just take it from the top.
My zero-period class is the advanced class,
where there's a lot less lecture,
where I'm not giving them an assignment that they
all do together.
The students are pretty much immersed in media.
Alright, here we go: 3, 2, 1...
Michael: THE NEWSCAST IS CREATED IN CENTER HIGH
SCHOOL'S STATE-OF-THE-ART TV STUDIO,
GIVING STUDENTS THE OPPORTUNITY TO EXPERIENCE
A REAL-WORLD TELEVISION PRODUCTION ENVIRONMENT.
Your School.
Your Stories.
The news you can use.
Dyson: What we do every day is the News You Can Use.
What it is is it tells all of our students and teachers
and parents what goes on around campus.
Any, basically, news that you can use.
Anchors: So stay tuned because you don't
want to miss this.
Cougar Connection starts now.
Bisho: Ok, let's stop.
What's going on with all the cameras?
Students: That says camera one.
Bisho: Camera one?
Ok, well that's right.
It wasn't on one.
It was on three the whole time.
Michael: THIS ISN'T JUST ANOTHER ELECTIVE CLASS.
STUDENTS HAVE TO APPLY TO BE A PART OF CENTER HIGH'S
MEDIA AND COMMUNICATIONS ACADEMY,
ALSO KNOWN AS MCA.
FROM SOPHOMORE THROUGH SENIOR YEAR,
STUDENTS IN THE ACADEMY STAY TOGETHER AND TAKE CORE
CLASSES WITH THE SAME TEACHERS.
Bisho: You're building your story to that moment.
We do all sorts of cross-curricular projects.
So, for example, you might have a project about a
historical event in history and then you have to write
an essay about it in English,
and then you'll have to do a power-point about it
in Spanish.
So, it's all cross- curricular and I love it.
Michael: THIS ACADEMY IS PART OF A STATEWIDE MODEL
CALLED THE CALIFORNIA PARTNERSHIP ACADEMIES.
IT'S ONE OF 340 ACADEMIES ACROSS THE STATE,
OFFERING SUBJECTS AS DIVERSE AS BUSINESS TECHNOLOGY,
HEALTH SCIENCES, ENGINEERING AND DESIGN,
AND MEDIA.
Bisho: The Partnership Academy was an experiment to try to find
innovative ways to teach students and reach at-risk
students, keep them involved,
and then get them into college - particularly
as career-focused.
Michael: WHILE BISHO TECHNICALLY PRODUCES THE
NEWSCAST, THE STUDENTS HANDLE EVERYTHING ELSE
FROM DIRECTING...
TO APPEARING ON-CAMERA.
Juliet: Hello Center High School.
I'm Juliet and here's the news you can use for
Thursday, January 25th, 2018.
Probably the most fun is being able to work with
everybody in that Advanced Broadcast.
We all work together pretty well,
we do all of these crazy projects,
and we get help from everybody,
everybody supports each other.
It's, it's really awesome to be able to work here.
Bisho: My number one job is just getting students to
care about what they're doing.
And once they care, I just have to keep out
of their way.
Alright.
Can we do that last sequence again?
And I'll stay out of the way.
Make sure you guys are on the right camera this time.
Michael: CENTER HIGH'S PROGRAM BECAME SO POPULAR
BISHO BEGAN LOOKING FOR WAYS TO EXPAND IT.
Bisho: About eight or nine years ago,
I started doing workshops for elementary school
students to find out what kind of interest elementary
students had in video production.
And they're crazy about it.
They love it.
I met with the GATE teachers,
the gifted and talented teachers at the elementary
school, and asked them if they'd like to do after
school programs incorporating video.
All he had to do was say he wanted to do something with
TV production and I was so excited to be able to bring
that back to kids here.
Michael: SUSAN ERICKSON TEACHES THE AFTER-SCHOOL
MEDIA CLASS AT OAK HILL ELEMENTARY,
JUST A COUPLE OF MILES FROM CENTER HIGH SCHOOL.
THE DISTRICT HOPES TO CREATE A PIPELINE FOR K-12 STUDENTS
INTERESTED IN MEDIA.
Michael: There are four positions: A, B, C,
and D, and I'm A.
I did a "How to Play Handball" instructional
video, and a documentary on how sunscreen affects
coral reefs.
Isaac: I'm working on something called "CPR for Kids,"
which is like, most people think you have to be older like a
grown up or older than 21 years old to do CPR but it
actually doesn't matter how old you have to be.
Susan: These are 4th, 5th and 6th graders who are
coming up with these ideas.
These students are from nine years old to 12 years old,
and they're working in teams,
sometimes multi-age as well.
Whatever passion appeals to them,
we let them roll with it.
Kelly: Right now I'm actually working on one with three
other people, we're doing a clay stop-motion video on
car pollution and how it affects us
and the environment.
Oh no. We're going to move it this way,
Michael: MENTORSHIP IS A LARGE PART OF MCA.
NOT ONLY DO STUDENTS HELP EACH OTHER,
BUT SEVERAL OF MR. BISHO'S HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS TRAVEL
TO OAK HILL EACH WEEK TO MENTOR MRS. ERICKSON'S
ELEMENTARY STUDENTS.
Juliet: Make sure, talk to Calvin when you say
"I'm working on it."
So, you say "Not yet, but I am working on it.
And you all..."
So, you have to go back to where it'll say
"wait four seconds."
Know what I mean?
Alright.
It's really cool when the high schoolers come here
because they are kind-of like pros and they get
to help us.
So, it's pretty cool.
Juliet: I help them work on writing a script,
figuring out all the types of shot angles that they
want to get, and helping them go out and get those
angles and all the shots and everything they need,
help them with editing, publishing.
I do the whole jig with them and I love it.
Bisho: When they work with the, the younger kids and help them
teach, they become better and they're more
invested personally.
So, it's a win-win.
Michael: THE SCHOOLS' NEWSCASTS ARE AT THE HEART
OF BOTH MEDIA PROGRAMS.
AT OAK HILL, THE WEEKLY PROGRAM IS CALLED
THE OTTER OUTLOOK.
Kelly: Good morning, Otters.
I hope you're having a marvelous Monday so far.
I'm Kelly.
And I'm Michael...
Susan: Our Otter Outlook is probably the most exciting
thing that the kids get to do weekly because they're
running a news show.
And we have a news team that goes out and actually films
in classrooms.
All the teacher has to do is give us a call a day
in advance, let us know about activities such as
buddies working together, special art activity,
science activity, our news crew is on it.
Calvin: Every week you're doing something else.
So you can be the cameraman, the director,
the teleprompter worker, or the anchor.
Michael: THE HANDS-ON SKILLS,
THE TEAMWORK AND THE CLOSE-KNIT COMMUNITY NOT
ONLY INSPIRE THE KIDS, BUT THE TEACHERS AS WELL.
Susan: Everything they come up with has no boundaries to them.
They don't see walls or stop signs in anything they do.
And so, that just makes you just excited to make sure
whatever they come up with, it's gonna happen for them.
We're gonna work real hard to get it done.
Juliet: It's amazing to be able to look back and I'll be like,
"Wow!
I really have come so far because of MCA."
Joining MCA was one of the best choices I've ever made.
That's it for the News You Can Use.
Back to you, ladies.
See you next time!
Narr: Career academies first appeared in California
public schools in 1984.
Today, there are hundreds of California Partnership
Academies ....
including a Health Sports Medicine Academy in the Bay
Area, an Oil Technology Academy in Kern County,
and a Teacher Preparation Academy in Los Angeles.
Other academies focus on careers in solar energy,
law enforcement, hospitality and tourism.
Jim: Next, we visit the East Bay,
where students are taking part in an after-school
program that encourages them to consider careers
in engineering and science-related fields.
The focus is on underrepresented students,
with the goal of increasing the ranks of women and
minorities in all kinds of technical professions

Nathaniel: So basically this blue rail right here
you see that?
This ground has to go to that blue rail.
And the next one would be echo.
Marinda: These students are engaging with engineers through
a unique program called NSBE.
Gary: NSBE is an acronym for the
National Society of Black Engineers.
It's an organization that's dedicated to increasing
the number of culturally responsible black engineers
who excel academically, succeed professionally
and positively impact the black community.
Nathaniel: I wasn't exposed to STEM and what it could do for me
until I was already in college.
So I really hope that you guys take these experiences
and these sessions and really work with them,
and see if it is right for you.
But learn something at least.
Nathaniel: These kids are engaging with technology and
products of engineering continuously every day.
It directs our lives.
Having these students have a better understanding of what
they're interacting with from an early age is going
to help improve their academics and help them
understand what's to come.
Who's excited for today?
Marinda: NSBE was started in 1975 by six engineering students
at Purdue University.
There had been various groups of black engineering
students all around the country
that existed independently.
They would bring all of these engineers together to
create the National Society of Black Engineers.
Today NSBE now includes more than 500 chapters and nearly
16,000 active members in the U.S.
and abroad.
NSBE chapters include collegiate,
professional, and pre-collegiate members,
with 11 NSBE Junior chapters throughout California.
Megan: What's the difference between speed and velocity?
Student: Speed is like how fast you are going...
Nathaniel: I work with recruiting professionals in
Silicon Valley the East Bay NSBE junior chapter.
And what we do is we work with delivering STEM to
these students from second grade to 12th grade.
Frances: Primarily the program is facilitated by what we call
coaches who are all professional engineers
and college engineering students.
♪♪
Megan: 363!
♪♪
Marinda: NSBE chapters hold programs throughout the
school year, including weekend, over the summer
and after school.
For this chapter meeting at Pittsburg High School,
class starts bright and early Saturday morning.
Megan: First law again?
Student: Object at rest stays at rest.
An object in motion stays in motion in the same speed and
same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.
Megan: -Yes!
You guys get me so excited about physics,
I love it!
Frances: Most of the classes that are taught here at NSBE
the kids are learning scientific inquiry,
the engineering process, presentations.
They're learning skills that are transferable to any
career or any class that they have.
Arielle:So now both you guys are going to work together and
you're actually going to build this.
This is the propulsion system we're working
on right now.
Marinda: NSBE is not meant to replace what's happening
in the classroom.
Instead, it supplements what students are being taught.
Megan: 1-2!
Gary: There's certain aspects of classroom
learning that can be mundane to a student,
particularly a student who's highly bright and highly
active and may not want to pay attention all the time,
but you take that same student and give them
something to build or something to construct or
something to enact, that student then gets motivated,
Marinda: NSBE helps to stimulate and reinforce the opportunities
that are in reach to students through the study
of engineering.
Teaching students to think for themselves.
Kimberly: My son is the light of my world.
And I wanted him to be part of NSBE
for multiple reasons.
I wanted him to be part of an organization that
esteemed education, that made it normal to be smart,
and that made it fun to be smart,
and to be Black.
...make it go higher.
Gary: We can see athletes and entertainers and even
doctors and lawyers on television and in media.
We don't often see engineers,
scientists or STEM professionals depicted
in a popular media I think programs like NSBE will
continue to be necessary until we reach parity,
until this underrepresentation is no
longer a thing and when the numbers of African American
and African diaspora engineers are at the same
levels as levels in the population,
then we won't need to talk about this anymore.
We've made a lot of progress certainly,
but we've got a long way to go.
Megan: Who can tell me what the difference between
average speed and instantaneous speed is?
Makayla.
Average speed is your speed over a whole length of time,
and instantaneous speed is speed at a certain moment.
Megan: Yes, perfect.
Frances: I see the successes,
I see the kids graduating from college.
I see the parents being proud of their children
because they've succeeded in something.
Alright!
Nathaniel: The reward to me is now being able to be a
product of NSBE, be a product of my community,
and then also help out additional communities.
Marinda: Supporters say it's not realistic to expect that
every student exposed to NSBE
will become an engineer.
But they say programs like these provide a foundation
to build on for the future.
Gary: I would tell parents to give your son or daughter
a chance and let them be exposed to this.
You may decide or they may decide that it's not for
them but I'm a parent myself and my philosophy has always
been to expose my daughters to as much as possible,
let them chart their own path after that.
Megan: On the count of three: 1-2-3!
Narr: If you drive on roads or use electronic devices,
you can thank an engineer.
Engineers play key roles in creating all kinds of
structures and products, from airports to bridges,
from home appliances to farm machinery.
Tens of thousands of engineering jobs are
expected to open in the coming decade,
with a median salary of $91,000 dollars a year.
Jim: And finally, let's visit a school where
students are preparing for various careers in
construction, engineering, drafting or architecture.
It's all part of an impressive career technical
program that's giving young people the necessary skills
to work on construction sites or enroll in two-year
or four-year degree programs.
♪♪
(hammering noises)
David: Right now construction is
booming again.
We've got an economic revival occurring and the
construction industry is dying for skilled labor.
And so we tell our kids, hey,
if you can show up on time, you can pass a drug test,
you can work with your hands,
you know how to read a tape measure -- there are people
who are dying to put you to work.
Christina: On this two-acre site at Lincoln High School
in Stockton, you'll see teenagers engaged in just
about every aspect of construction...
from computer-aided design to the actual
building of structures.
This group is practicing how to build a shed that they'll
re-create at an upcoming construction competition.
David: So that intersecting wall is going to come in
here and it's going to join in right along in here,
and this needs to extend over three and half.
Christina: David Dabaco is an instructor at the
Engineering and Construction Academy at Lincoln High.
Built in collaboration with nearly 100 industry
partners, the academy prepares students for jobs
right out of high school or a path to higher education.
David: We focused on four different career paths.
The architecture, drafting and engineering and design
-- and a lot of those students are going on
to be students that will matriculate to
four- year institutions.
Then we have construction technology,
which is all your flat work and rough framing.
They'll go to work in a carpenter's union,
they'll go to work in laborer's union.
Some of them may not go union,
some may go to work for themselves or
non- union shops.
We have mechanical construction, also,
and we have the woodworking and
millwork program.
Jeff: It truly is a model program,
for not only the state, but the country.
And this is what we need to do in the high schools to
provide our kids with great opportunities so they
can be gainfully employed.
Get a short piece of pipe, and then you need
a 90, ok?
Christina: Academy founder Jeff Wright wanted to create
real job opportunities for youth in Stockton,
a city hit hard by the recession.
The academy opened in 2010 with major funding from a
California Career Technical Education grant.
Jeff: I wish every kid could go to college.
But the reality and the numbers bear it out,
it's just not going to happen.
There's 1.3 trillion dollars in college debt right now.
There's more college debt than credit card debt.
We need to focus on getting our kids a job.
A lot of our kids start out in the $20,
22, 23 dollar an hour range, so it is critical to the
city of Stockton to provide those kinds of
high- paying wage jobs.
It's a win-win for everybody.
Christina: Recent graduates of the program can attest to
the high wages they're earning straight
out of school.
Tristin: I'm 18 and I'm making $23.50.
And in July, I get my $2 raise.
And then for going back to school,
I get an additional raise.
I can max out around $50, $60 dollars an hour.
I don't see it as a job, I see it as a career.
I'm going to be doing it for awhile.
David: I think the huge misnomer for construction
is that it is low-paying jobs.
I mean, think about what's required to build you know,
say, the Bay Bridge.
From the architects to the engineers to the divers to
everybody that's involved in that project,
there's a lot of really skilled individuals with
a lot talent in there.
And those are really high-paying careers.
RJ: I looked at a lot of high schools and so
did my mom.
And as soon as I found out this place had an
Engineering and Construction Academy,
it was my dream to come here.
Christina: Randolph plans to major in electrical
engineering at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo.
Everything he does here is geared toward his career
plans, even making these birdhouses.
RJ: This kind of gives me a chance to work with my hands
and get my hands dirty with what I really need to do.
So though it's not the same thing it kind of gives me an
idea of what I'm going to be doing in the future.
Christina: Emily also has an eye on the future,
with plans to join the Ironworkers Union.
Her experience at Lincoln has given her the confidence
to enter a male-dominated field.
Emily: I'm used to being the only girl and I'm kind of
more a tomboy, so like I get along with the guys and
they're really nice to me so I really like it here.
Jeff: We firmly believe that women and girls
should have the same opportunities as guys.
And if they can go out and do the job,
the should get the same pay as the guys.
Teachers recognize not all 500 students taking classes
in the academy will go on to work in construction or
engineering fields, but many do learn
valuable life lessons.
Melinda: When I first came here,
I'd never used a nail.
My family was just like, oh you know,
it's fine, just leave it.
But coming here I learned how to use a drill,
I learned how to use screws, and all that.
Alberto: We get to use tools,
like skill saws, hammers, we get to nail things.
It's different from woodshop,
because in woodshop we just cut things and that's it.
Here we get to build things, like we got to build a shed
and everything.
Christina: Alberto is part of the Lincoln High team
that's competing in the 32nd annual design build
competition put on by the Sacramento Regional
Builders Exchange.
The event draws more than 300 high school students,
who get just two days to build a structure of their
choice, such as a gazebo, a shed or a tiny house.
On the second day of competition,
Alberto is feeling positive about
Lincoln High's progress.
Alberto: So yesterday we pretty much started from
scratch, built the floors, build all the walls,
we started putting rafters on.
Today we pretty much finished off the roof,
put trim on, put shingles on the roof,
ridge caps.
It's a small house, so it has like two windows
and a door.
It's different, it's different compared to
everyone else here.
Tim: We've got several schools that are
building tiny houses.
The program that the kids are building for this time
around, the tiny houses actually go to provide
housing for homeless veterans.
All the materials are donated for the building
of their structures, and then they get to keep the
structures afterwards.
And in some cases, some schools have already
pre-sold the sheds to existing buyers,
some of them will go back and will auction them off.
Some of the sheds are donated for other programs.
We have one school that's building some storage sheds
that will be going to the Folsom Zoo,
but the nice thing is the schools do take it
and auction it off or get money from the
selling of the sheds.
Those monies go back to buying materials that they
use in their shop programs throughout the course
of the year.
Christina: As the students work,
judges make the rounds to score each structure.
There are 23 schools represented at the
competition, and organizers hope that students from at
least a few of those schools will walk away with
new career ideas.
Tim: For every five journeymen that retire,
there's only one apprentice entering the trades.
And so we're really getting to the point where it is
a critical situation.
It's really a wonderful middle class career that is
available to kids who don't go on to college.
Alberto: Construction is a hard job.
It is energy-consuming, you're really are tired
at the end of the day.
I think I could do it, like if I really wanted to be
a carpenter, like I think I could pull it off.
And I get to see what I do, it's not like me
writing something or reading something,
it's like I did this with my hands.
And boom, it's there.
Christina: All the students here have something tangible
they can be proud of...
but especially Lincoln High, which was awarded
Best of Show at the end of the competition.
