We are back but our shop is being built so we will be going to E.C. Goodwin and we will be using their shop. The sophmores will be taught how to use the stationary machines and they will be taught how to make a cabinet and other inside projects. The positive thing about doing this is that Goodwin has a brand new shop and our students will be using the new machines and will get a GREAT education on cabinet making and millwork. ..P>
INTRODUCTION TO CARPENTRY (3 credits)
All Grade 9 students go through the Exploratory Program, which allows them to rotate through all of the trades available in the school (two days each), select three trades to spend more time in (four days each) and make a final selection. The Exploratory Program is a hands-on experience that encourages student discovery, provides individual student career assessments, compares aptitude with likes and dislikes, develops decision-making skills and challenges students in the application of knowledge. Students deciding to enter the field of carpentry will be exposed to the basics of safety and sanitation, as well as use and care of hand tools, power tools and stationary equipment. Fabrication methods are initiated with an introduction to wood types, quality and applications. Students start with small woodworking projects, which lead up to more complex assignments. Technology-related mathematics, reading, writing, vocabulary, blueprint reading and science are integrated throughout the curriculum.
CABINETRY/MILLWORK (3 credits)
In Grade 10, the carpentry program is designed to provide students with practical information in the art of cabinetmaking. This course builds on the knowledge acquired in Grade 9 and provides students with the introductory-level skills necessary in the cabinetry industry using both theory and practice involving the production of practical projects. Safety, advanced power tools and stationary machinery are taught and reinforced continually throughout the course sequence. Upon completion of this course, students must demonstrate the application of sound safety practices, the ability to identify and use hand tools appropriately, the use of basic operations on stationary equipment, and the ability to identify common fasteners and construction materials. They are also required to demonstrate their cabinet-making skills, common trade ethics and workplace readiness and perform clean-up and debris removal. Technology-related mathematics, reading, writing, vocabulary, blueprint reading and science are integrated throughout the curriculum.
CARPENTRY-RESIDENTIAL CONSTRUCTION (3 credits)
The Grade 11 program is designed to introduce students to residential construction. Students are instructed in all areas of safety, including ladder, scaffolding, trenching and the use of safety harnesses. Students are introduced to the State of Connecticut Building Code and learn the theoretical knowledge needed to lay out rafter, stairs and walls. Students will demonstrate knowledge of blueprint reading, including foundations, concrete, floor plans, specification schedules and electrical, plumbing and mechanical symbols. Outside production projects on residential construction enhances the student's education. The students will show entry-level skills in all facets of residential construction. Students reaching an acceptable level of proficiency may be eligible for Cooperative Work Experience (CWE). Technology-related mathematics, reading, writing, vocabulary, blueprint reading and science are integrated throughout the curriculum.
CARPENTRY-RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL CONSTRUCTION (3 credits)
In Grade 12, the course sequence is designed to build on the skills learned in Grades 9, 10 and 11. Students will continue with residential dwelling construction, and light commercial construction skills will be introduced. Rigging and hauling safety, in addition to safety mastered in the previous years, is stressed. Students will demonstrate knowledge of exterior trim and siding types, energy conservation in residential construction, and design of stairs and rafter building. They will comprehend knowledge of building codes and planning and zoning regulations. Students will be taught how to estimate both materials and construction costs, as well as demonstrate and articulate positive customer relations. Students will continue to participate in outside production projects on residential construction and demonstrate basic knowledge in applying drywall materials and stair-building skills. They will demonstrate advanced knowledge in designing and erecting wall partitions, applying roofing materials, and installing common siding and interior finish. Students will demonstrate the ability to complete a job application and interview and have entry-level job readiness and trade skills. The National Occupational Competency Testing Institute (NOCTI) exam is administered in the second half of the senior year. Technology-related mathematics, reading, writing, vocabulary, blueprint reading and science are integrated throughout the curriculum.
