LP_M06_27307-14_Rev.indd 1 2/5/15 12:18 PM Before You Begin As you prepare for each session, allow sufficient time to review the course objectives, content, visual aids (including the PowerPoint® presentation), and these lesson plans, and to gather the required equipment and materials. Consider time required for demonstrations, laboratories, field trips, and testing. Using your access code, download the Module Examinations and Performance Profile Sheets from www.nccerirc.com. The passing score for submission into NCCER’s Registry is 70 percent or above for the Mod- ule Examination; performance testing is graded pass or fail.

Safety Considerations This module requires that trainees establish elevations, lay out and construct an instructor-selected foundation, and install templates, keyways, and embedments. Safety is paramount in the carpentry trade and safe habits and practices must be emphasized whenever possible. Performance Tasks must be completed under your supervision. Each trainee must use required PPE and follow safe tool practices and procedures.

The passing score for submission into NCCER’s Registry is 70 percent or above for the Mod- ule Examination; performance testing is graded pass or fail.

Safety Considerations This module requires that trainees place and consolidate concrete, use a screed and various tools to smooth a concrete surface, and make a control joint. Safety is paramount in the carpentry trade and safe habits and practices must be emphasized whenever possible. Performance Tasks must be completed under your supervision. Each trainee must use required PPE and follow safe tool practices and procedures.
