Students should be prepared for class each day by having a pencil and an eraser. Pocket folders that hold work in progress will be kept in the classroom. A module is a learning station that is designed to give two students a ten hour introduction to one particular topic in technology or to an overview of careers. Students will be active in reading instructions, following directions, designing, building and testing small models and products and keeping a lab book of their activities. Many modules involve the use of sensitive electronic equipment including computers and testing devices.
Students are responsible for a daily inventory of module equipment and proper use of that equipment.
Teams of students will rotate every ten days to a different module. Every student is required to complete the career module. This module involves an extensive career interview with an adult. Please be prepared to help your student with this assignment. Preformance assessment will be based on participation, completion of module activities and results of the module post tests.
