Course Description: This class provides a student experience that develops career ready practices through career exploration in the context of project based learning. All knowledge and skills are based on career cluster and pathway standards to promote college and career readiness. This is especially important in the ninth grade because without a robust experience at this level many students enter high school unaware of what careers may be best for them. 20 Construction Trade Areas (CTA) include Blueprint Reading, Cabinetmaking, Communications, Concrete, Drywall, Electrical, Estimation, Finish Carpentry, Green Construction, Hand Tools, HVAC, Masonry, Painting, Plumbing, Power Tools, Roof Framing, Surveying, Tile Setting, Wall Framing, and Weatherization. Students will: work productively in small teams of 2, use technology to enhance productivity, plan education and career paths, utilize critical thinking, define problems and persevere in solving them, demonstrate creativity and innovation, employ valid and reliable research methods, and apply appropriate academic & technical skills. Every unit requires that students submit evidence of learning for each project, complete multiple objective assessments, and present solutions to the class as proof of knowledge and skill attainment. Within each unit students will read for understanding and information, use applied math skills, and write every day. Applications of science principles will be reinforced through applicable units.
