Over the past several years, Rio Rancho High students have found
greater success when they ask adults to consult instead of mentor. The
term mentor implies a large and long time commitment. The term
consultant suggests that the assistance is required only when teams
solicit it. To busy professionals, a time commitment with
well-defined limits may be appealing and offer a welcome opportunity
for professional community service.

- Highlights for High School from MIT
features more than 2,600 video and audio
clips, animations, lecture notes and assignments taken from actual MIT
courses, and categorizes them to match the Advanced Placement physics,
biology and calculus curricula. Demonstrations, simulations,
animations and videos give educators engaging ways to present STEM
concepts, while videos illustrate MIT's hands-on approach to the
teaching of these subjects.
