District Recommended Instructional Approach For the Course

To Drive Teacher’s Instructional Activities

All students will be presented with an overview of the manufacturing and processes pertaining to the woodworking industry. The instructional methods used to implement this goal include the following:

Use of current texts and visual materials
Instruction of students through lecture and discussion
Providing challenges to complete projects that include teacher-and student-generated plans
Enforcing proper and safe use of tools
Encouraging responsible use of resources
Promoting self-esteem by guiding students to complete tasks that fall within their individual ability level
