Highlands Grad Returns for Middle Level Institute
José C’ de Baca graduated from New Mexico Highlands University in 1963 with a Bachelor of Science degree majoring in mathematics and a minor in physics. Upon graduation he worked for Teaching Machines, Inc. where he helped produce self - paced instructional courses for IBM and other industry. During his time at TMI he helped develop self-paced courses in other educational disciplines (reading, math, etc.) and tested them with middle and high school students. TMI later contracted with the Office of Equal Opportunity (OEO) to help launch Job Corps by developing self – paced curriculum and systems management training. TMI was eventually purchased by Westinghouse Learning Corporation.
Mr. C’ de Baca became the on-site liaison officer for WLC at the US Naval Academy where he led a team of analysts in the development of a Leadership Management Course funded by the US Department of Education. Shortly after that stint, Mr. C’de Baca took a position with Independent Learning Systems in Northern California. He helped manage the production of College Level self – paced courses marketed across the country to Colleges and Universities. He helped develop an accredited private school – Independent Learning School where the entire curriculum was self-paced.
Currently, Mr. C’ de Baca directs a GEAR UP project overseeing 23 school districts in Northern New Mexico. He'll be a presenter at the School of Education's Middle Level Institute, August 1-4, 2010.
