Instructors often confess that it is challenging to present tangible, real-world applications of
the latest technology in the classroom. How can instructors become cognizant of the latest implementation of technology at the
workplace? What better answer to this question than time on the job with an IT professional or staff.
The 2008 CITE Instructor Job Shadow Program will provide an opportunity for instructors in to observe first hand the
advances of technology in the workplace. The goal is to equip instructors with the knowledge and skills to infuse
relevant IT practices in the classroom to benefit their students and programs. Participating businesses, or Workplace
Hosts, can contribute by matching the instructor with an employee who can provide advice, examples, and real work
experience as it applies to the area of study. Contact Maureen Majury at 425.564.4229 or
mmajury@bellevuecollege.edu to discuss placement with a local
company for your show shadow. Reimbursement to faculty is $100 per day.
The CITE Instructor Job Shadow Program is based on the successful model implemented through the Washington
Center for Information Technology (WCIT) aWeek@Boeing project. Read the instructor participant comments for
