Welding and Fabrication 3

EUHSD Board Approval Date: 4/17/18

1

The EUHSD Welding and 3 curriculum document identifies what students should be able to know by grade level in a comprehensive standards-based course of study. The curriculum document is updated annually based on student academic achievement data, research and best practices, and input from stakeholders. The EUHSD curriculum document contains the following documents and/or information: A. Course Description B. Course Guidelines/Requirements - graduation credit information, transcript information, adopted materials, adopted , assessment outline C. Instructional Materials References D. Scope and Sequence Map with Essential Standards outlined by Unit E. References to key essential design and implementation documents

A comprehensive course of study and/or program is designed so that all students have access to the rigorous curriculum necessary to graduate high school demonstrating college and career readiness skills. Student-Centered learning provides opportunity for collaboration, , and a robust learning environment and provides opportunities for all students to meet the goals of the district’s Instructional Focus at the time of this writing: “All students communicate their thinking, ideas and understanding by effectively using oral, written and/or non-verbal expression.”

A key design consideration in the transition to the new California State Standards is a focus on changes to pedagogy. The English Language Arts instructional shifts guide classroom teaching and learning and the foundation of curriculum and instructional design. Key considerations of the ELA Instructional shifts can be found by visiting the following URL: http://www.corestandards.org/other-resources/key-shifts- in-english-language-arts/

The curriculum document is aligned to the California Model Career Technical Education Standards and reflects learning outcomes from both the anchor and pathway standards.

Welding and Metal Fabrication 3 Course Description Welding and Metal Fabrication 3 is a two-semester third year class and the “capstone” course of the Manufacturing and Product Development Career Pathway. Students who complete this course have completed the pathway requirements and have attained practical, marketable skills and certifications making them uniquely prepared to enter post-secondary welding and metal fabrication preparation programs and jobs. Students at this level don’t just follow industry practices but lead other students by demonstrating their exemplary understanding of workplace safety and collaboration in a functional lab-based instructional setting. In addition to welding and metal fabrication skills and content knowledge, this course continues to provide project-based experiences that develop the unique leadership and critical thinking skills that jobs in this competitive industry require. Students add to their understanding regarding the history of welding and fabrication and develop a practical understanding of today's processes in order to look forward to emerging and applications in the field. Students complete sophisticated projects using advanced techniques that require the use of equipment such as gas, arc, MIG and TIG welding as well as and oxyacetylene cutting equipment; they then apply advanced tests on their products and respond to feedback by revising their work to meet industry specific standards to receive certifications. The course culminates with students describing in detail their portfolio of work and presenting it along with samples to real audiences and for real purposes such as local fairs and trade shows.

Scope and Sequence Guide

The Scope and Sequence Guide for this course is informed by the California Learning Standards and delineates the concepts and skills students are expected to acquire in order to meet College and Career Readiness expectations set for by the state and local board approved guidelines. Each unit of study is designed to build upon the previous unit and/or prerequisite coursework in support of student mastery of specific standards based skills. This Scope and Sequence document provides guidelines for instructors to ensure they have the necessary information related to content and pedagogy to guarantee students can meet the learning objectives of the course. The document is updated as needed based on input from all stakeholders to ensure it meets the needs of students.

All Career Technical Education coursework in the EUHSD is based on a series of state-adopted CTE standards which include the CTE Knowledge and Performance Anchor Standards, the California Standards for Career Ready Practice, and the CTE Model Curriculum Pathway Specific Standards. Not every standard and its related learning objective is included in the Scope and Sequence Guide since this document provides the essential pathway focus standards and key learning objectives for each unit with the related assignments and assessments. However, all of the CTE model Curriculum Pathway Standards are imbued in the student tasks throughout the course with specific standards emphasized in particular units in order to ensure students build the skills to ensure their success.

The CTE Standards for Career Ready Practice and CTE Model Curriculum Pathway Specific Standards below are integrated throughout the units and describe the fundamental knowledge and skills that a career ready student needs in order to prepare for transition to postsecondary education, career training, or the workforce. These standards are not exclusive to a career pathway, a CTE program of study, a particular discipline, or level of education. Standards for Career Ready Practice are taught and reinforced in all career exploration and preparation programs with increasingly higher levels of complexity and expectation as a student advances through a given pathway/program of study.
