"But then I asked myself: 'Do they need it? Then why teach Assembly line work those jobs are gone. We need to teach students how to communicate." Often that means teaching students how to communicate with their own parents.

It used to be that parents met with their child's teacher while the child waited nervously at home. At Southridge, students give parents the update themselves. Some of them describe the encounter as scary, some as nerve-wracking and some as helpful. Scary, because they've never sat down and talked to parents about what is good and bad about school. Nerve-wracking because they didn't know what fornia State University, San Bernardino, said the students would demand high-quality work from themselves.

"It makes students more responsible for what they do," Howard said. "Students aren't working for the teacher they're working for themselves. The long-term goal is to create lifelong learners." To achieve that, school administrators ask the community what skills students will need when they graduate from high school. Then they decide what students should know to get jobs. "We've had the same school requirements for 100 years," Soto said.

"Thoy were good for the industrial system. Are we going to keep teaching for the industrial age? No." Marmo said the method forces in Education Southridge Principal Gary Soto. More than that, they have taken charge of their own learning, Soto said. Their pride in their accomplishments will push them to do even better, he said. Others think so, too.

Teachers throughout the country use the approach called outcome-based education to prepare students for the future. Educators at Southridge Middle School are betting that students who put their lessons to practical use will take those skills to high school, to college and to the working world.

Irv Howard, an education professor at Cali Southridge Middle School in Fontana adopts an innovative approach to education By Teresa Jimenez The Sun Fontana Bureau FONTANA Compare an ail-too typical class, where students sit in hard chairs and count the minutes, with the sixth-graders at Southridge Middle School explaining Leonardo da Vinci's inventions. Three students in Joe Marino's English-history class used I.eggos to build a model of da Vinci's bridge to show classmates. They worked as a team to research and prepare the oral presentation skills they ill need to be successful, said cause it let them warn parents of possible trouble ahead such as the bad grades they might be bringing home.

The students have to be able to prove what they tell their parents. They collect essays, math homework and other projects in a portfolio and explain why they chose the samples. The approach to education may have changed, but students still learn the basics, Soto said. And more. Teachers often go beyond state requirements, he said.

Soto stands firmly behind the Southridge motto that all students can learn. He thinks the changes prove that public-schools can shape students into successful people. "We want to prepare them for life, not the next grade level," said Soto. "We need to go beyond that. Is this better than drill and kill? You bet."
