EMS Construction Technology

The main focus of Construction Technology at Ernest Morrow is to familiarize students with safety in the Construction classroom, and the different materials, hand tools, power tools, equipment and processes used when working with wood, metal and plastic. Students have a file folder which has two forms that are used by the student to track their progress in Construction. Students work through 4 levels of lessons in which all lessons must be passed in order to move on to the next lesson.  

To measure student progress regular check-ins will be held in order to get feedback and set goals for improvement. Many check-ins are written into all project lessons. Students are responsible for tracking their own progress through the lessons on the Lesson Tally Form and their daily activities on the Daily Progress Report  kept in their Construction folder. This hard copy folder is available for viewing by teachers, students and guardians. Self accessment rubrics are provided for all project lessons and for their final term reports. 

Students must understand that safety is of great importance to sustain a healthy, safe learning experience for themselves and others. Students must exhibit safety in relation to the materials, tools and processes that they come into contact with in Construction.
