Carrier technical instruction teacher: Eric R Moore

Phone: 1 HBHS Crest(208) 793-2225 EXT 1231

Course Overview/Description:

 

This class is designed to take a full year. In addition it can be taken all four years of high school

Students who take this class should expect to remain in it the full year. This class fits the school mission statement: We foster a challenging educational environment where students become responsible, contributing citizens and lifelong learners.

In learning to Design and build Cabinets and furniture the students in this class reinforce all of the common core curriculum from math to science, and English. They are also given a taste of many career choices, such as  cabinet designers, cabinet makers, cabinet installers, Mill-workers, furniture designers, finish carpenters, draftsmen and sales in areas of hardware, lumber,  finish products, and cabinets,  and in lesser extent will be exposed to fields like  building contractor, building inspector, architect, mason, framer, electrician, plumber, cabinet maker, flooring, roofer, insulation installer, siding installation, and painter. The student in this class will be exposed to all of these career fields. It is my hope this class will inspire the student into a field where he/she will want to become a lifelong learner. In any case the information learned will prepare the student to become a more informed home owner and contributing citizen. From time to time individuals from these fields will be asked in to come in and talk about their fields of interest.

 

While all first year and subsequent year students will be exposed to every aspect of Cabinet building and furniture building. Level

Grading 

Grades will come from three different sources

  • Ethic Grades ethic grades are worth 25 points a day 100 points a week. If a student comes in comes in ready to work at a steady pace through the hour and gives it there best effort that is all I ask. I can fix any mistakes they make and I expect mistakes that is how we learn. If they come in and don't try or argue or vandalize the project, points will be taken away.  What I would call to as a firing incident can result in a zero for the week. This would include arguing excessively or cursing at me or anyone else, bullying, inappropriate conversations, Violence of any kind, vandalism, or poor attitude to the point where it distracts the class.
  •  
  • Ethic grades should be a good example of what your final grade will be. However if a student comes in and behaves him or her self yet chooses not to do any thing the semester grade could be quite different then their qtr, or daily grade. Project grades are only recorded at the end of the semester and are worth almost 50% of the total grade.
  •  
  •  Project grade  Will be the same point value as  Ethic grade. depending on the size of project you will be expected to do at a min, two projects a year. a matrix consisting of four areas. 1 level of difficulty, 2 execution of skills  3, Finish work,  4, how well you follow your plans and time line.

    Quizzes:  Total grade weight of all quizzes will not exceed 10% of your total  grade. In each unit there will be at least one quiz at the end of the unit. In several units there will be more than one quiz depending on the complexity of the unit. Each question is worth one point. Quizzes can have as few as ten questions worth 10 points. At the point of writing this none are more than forty questions worth 40 points.

     

    Extra credit : I am here on many Fridays if a student comes in on a Friday  and works a min, of two hours on their project or school project. I will raise his or hers letter grade one full letter grade.
