Abstract:
Residential Wiring, the second publication in a series of three wiring publications, prepares students for entry-level employment in the residential wiring trade. Instructional materials include a teacher edition, student guide, and student workbook. The teacher edition begins with introductory pages, including a training and competency profile, duty-task crosswalk, instructional/task analysis, basic skills icons and classifications, basic skills matrix, and a tools, equipment, and materials list. Each of six units consists of some or all of these components: suggested activities (instructional plan, teaching suggestions, references used in unit development, suggested supplemental resources); assignment sheet answer keys; written test; test key; teacher supplements; and transparency masters. The student guide provides some or all of these for each unit: learning activities sheet; objective sheet; information sheet; and student supplements.

Abstract:
This document consists of both the "Teacher Edition" and the matching "Student Edition" for a course to help high school students develop the cognitive, psychomotor, and affective skills required for success in the plumbing trades. The 25 units are based on the curriculum alignment concept of first stating objectives, developing instructional strategies for teaching those objectives, and assessing those same objectives through criterion-referenced tests. Throughout the curriculum, materials are included to help students develop the academic and workplace skills and competencies identified by the Secretary's Commission on Achieving Necessary Skills and the American Society for Training and Development. The teacher guide begins with an overview of the curriculum and guide that includes the following: competency profile, instructional/task analysis; academic and workplace skills; related academic and workplace skills; tools, equipment, and materials list; and 10 references. Unit topics include the following: orientation to the occupation of plumber; tools and equipment; blueprints, measurements, and calculations; systems rough-in; residential systems; fixture and appliance installation; and system maintenance and repair. Each unit contains some or all of the following: suggested activities; assignment sheet answers; teacher supplements; written test and answers; unit evaluation form; and transparency masters. The matching student guide contains the objective, information, assignment, and job sheets for the same 25 units.

Abstract:
This publication consists of three sections: facilitator's guide--train the trainer, facilitator's guide sample--Basic Blueprint Reading (Chapter 1), and participant's guide sample--basic blueprint reading (chapter 1). Section I addresses why the trainer should learn new classroom techniques; lecturing versus facilitating; learning styles inventory; suggestions for tactile, visual, and auditory learners; ideas for interactive training; and arranging the room. Section II contains the curriculum for chapter 1 on basic blueprint reading. Introductory facilitator materials include a one-page summary of course basics, objective, and course overview with blueprint reading content and learning strategies; and checklist of materials needed. Information and exercises are provided on learning strategies, study strategies, reading strategies, key terms, note taking, job aids, memory aids, organization, and classroom strategies. Symbols that represent the various terms and ideas are presented in a side column and used in the curriculum to alert the trainer and/or student that certain activities or responses are recommended. Throughout the sample curriculum, facilitator pages provide tips for the facilitator. The guide provides objectives, learning materials, activities, chapter review, answer keys, Checkpoint 1, and participant score sheet.

Abstract:
This document presents and discusses the national skill standards for advanced high-performance manufacturing that were developed during a project that was commissioned by the U.S. Department of Education. The introduction explains the need for national skill standards. Discussed in the next three sections are the following: benefits of national skills standards to educators, individual workers, students, parents, and other community members; scenario for using skill standards; and procedures for using skill standards for purposes of manufacturing process improvement, current employee training/development, new employee hiring, skills standards identification/development, job skill profile development, and skill match gap analysis. In the longest section of the document, the 210 national skill standards developed are listed by the following categories: communication and teamwork; math and measurement; workplace safety and health; problem solving; quality assurance; blueprint reading; manufacturing fundamentals; business planning and operation; computer use; process control and improvement; work force issues; workplace skills; and learning skills. Concluding the document are background information on the project to develop the standards and lists of the project committee members and individuals and organizations providing information/input during the standards' development. A skills standards framework is appended. (MN) Note:The following two links are not-applicable for text-based browsers or screen-reading software. Show Hide Full Abstract

MAST consists of industry-specific skill standards and model curricula for 15 occupational specialty areas within the U.S. machine tool and metals-related industries. This volume provides the MAST standards and curriculum for the welding specialty area. (A welder is a person who uses arc and gas, shielded metal arc welding (SMAW), gas metal arc welding, gas tungsten arc welding, brazing, metallurgy, and print interpretation to perform welding operations necessary to produce a workpiece to required standards.) This volume is organized in the following sections: (1) a profile of Moraine Valley Community College (Illinois), the development center that produced these standards and curriculum; (2) a welder competency profile of job duties and tasks; (3) a welder duty, task, and subtask outline; (4) a course curriculum outline and course descriptions; (5) a technical workplace competencies and course crosswalk; and (6) a Secretary's Commission on Achieving Necessary Skills (SCANS) proficiencies course crosswalk. Individual syllabi for the following courses are provided: Basic Arc/Gas Welding I-II; Electrical Welding Circuits; Reading Welding Blueprints; Advanced SMAW and Cutting I-II; Metal Inert Gas (MIG), Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG), and Brazing I-II; Basic Welding Metallurgy; Individual Welding Problems I-II; Basic Pipe Welding I-II; and Visual Inspection of Welds. Each course syllabus includes the following: course hours, course descriptions, prerequisites, required course materials, teaching and evaluation methods, lecture and laboratory outlines, course objectives for technical and SCANS competencies, and suggested references.
