Making Education Relevant
Description
Career Academy Director at Oakland Technical High School, Patricia ClarkPatricia Clark is the creator and director of the Health and Bio-Sciences Career Academy in Oakland, California. Established in 1985, Clark's Health Academy is Oakland's flagship for an educational movement crisscrossing the nation. Career academies are small, innovative schools operating independently within large, comprehensive public high schools. Their idea is to reach out to young people who are getting lost in traditional education, and to give them a fresh start. Oakland's 28 career academies attract students by offering concentrated studies in professional fields, such as health, business, law, media, and engineering. Once hooked on education, students stay motivated by perceiving the immediate relevance of their course subjects and by working as interns at local businesses.
