This curriculum guide contains 12 units that provide the basic curriculum components required to develop lesson plans for the carpentry curriculum. The guide is not intended to be a complete, self-contained curriculum, but instead provides the teacher with a number of informational items related to the learning outcomes and allows the teacher flexibility to design instructional activities, select resources, and deliver instruction most appropriate for the learner and learning environment. The units of instruction contain the following components: learning outcomes; associated tasks; performance standards; lists of tools, equipment, resources, and limiting constraints; performance steps; and enabling objectives. The units cover the following topics: reading blueprints; selecting, purchasing, and storing material; cutting, shaping, and fastening; preparing building site; preparing concrete forms; framing floors; framing walls; framing roof and ceiling; installing roof; finishing exterior; finishing interior; and constructing stairs. A list of items to be included in a standard carpentry tool kit completes the guide. (KC)
