CONSTRUCTION CAREERS SYLLABUS
I. COURSE DESCRIPTION The Construction Careers Program at West Sound Technical Skills Center (WST) will introduce local high
school students to the world of construction. The students will experience hands on training with the tools of
the trade in a real world setting. This program includes both in-class theory and job site experience. The Construction Careers Program is housed in a large facility that includes an expansive shop and classroom
area. The program has a large outside work area with two residential house modules where the students
apply their skills. The students occasionally work on job sites in the local community for public projects such
as park buildings, small school district structures, and individual WBL opportunities with Habitat for
Humanity. Work Based Learning (WBL) opportunities exist for specific student situations.
This program is modified open entry, which means a student may start at any term during the school year, depending on space available in the class. Students can receive elective and specific credits recommended to
sending schools dependent upon student’s length of enrollment. Students that successfully complete the
course will receive a competition certificate and have the opportunity to move into apprenticeship positions or
if applicable acquire upwards of 8 college credits through PC3 Connect Dual Crediting.
Many of the skills that a student can expect to learn include; 21st Century Skills/Employability Skills,
General OSHA safety standards and general construction safety, safe use of hand tools and power tools and
equipment, site preparation, foundation construction, floor framing, wall framing, ceiling framing, roof
framing, stair construction, exterior wall and roof finish, and blueprint reading (refer to specific student
outcomes). Second year students can learn crafts specific to their interests. All students work from advisory
board approved curriculum that will prepare students for apprenticeship opportunities such as a; Carpenter, Construction Craft Laborer, Machine Operator, Electrician, Brick/Cement Mason, Iron Worker. Managerial
careers in construction like Engineering and Architecture can be acquired with further university education.
Students may also elect to enroll in local technical and community colleges to further their skills and
knowledge.
Students will be required to read and comprehend professional technical manuals; perform required business math skills; and communicate effectively in written and oral presentations. Dexterity and spatial skills
contribute to student’s individual success in this career field. A strong command of math skills to include
addition/subtraction/multiplication/division of whole numbers and fractions, measurement principles, plus
an understanding of spatial relationships using geometry will be necessary in this program.
There is a strong emphasis on employability skills, professionalism, leadership and teamwork. Through
participation in community projects, competitions and volunteering opportunities students can explore their
place as future leaders. Student’s work through approved curriculum to help guide their way into the working
world. Attendance policies are strictly adhered to and have a direct link to 21st Century Skills. As with all hands-on training, you must be present and engaged in the learning process to be successful.

VIII. ATTENDANCE: State law (RCW 28A.225.010) and school board policy recognize regular attendance is the basis of
success in the classroom. Attendance is especially important at WST because of the significant amount
of demonstrations and hands-on learning.
Steps to follow in case of an absence:
1. Just as you would in the workplace, students MUST contact the instructor if the student is absent.
2. Parents MUST follow-up with an email, phone call, or written documentation with the reason for the
absence. (must include student name, date of absence and reason for absence)
IX. SIMULATED WORKPLACE REQUIREMENTS What are the expectations of students when they are in the lab or simulated workplace environment.
X. ACADEMIC INTEGRITY: Cheating is by definition, an action done by a student to supply work for another student, or turn in
work, use work, or rely on work that is not her/his own, other than in circumstances clearly understood
to involve collaborative or group learning. District policy requires that the teacher will record a ‘zero’ in
the gradebook to communicate lack of evidence. Parents will be notified if a student is caught cheating
in the classroom or lab. Subsequent cheating may result in an “F” in the class and possible removal from
WST.
XI. INSTRUCTIONAL STRATEGIES: Students will be given visual materials in the form of handouts. Visual aids such as projectors and white
boards will be implemented to help with student understanding of lesson plan concepts. Objectives for
daily lessons are written clearly on the board with daily questions and general concepts written and
stated to the students each day to start class discussions. Instructor will state the learning targets and give
multiple examples for students from which to draw information.
Students will be asked to verbally relate what they’ve learned to their peers in a group discussion format.
Students will be assigned written work and reading assignments that will reinforce the lesson plans.
After thorough review the students will be given hands on assignments. Full scale individual projects
and all class construction projects will bolster objectives. The students will be checked for learning by
written exams. The instructor will demonstrate proper safety and the physical skills that students will
need to learn. The instructor will then guide the students individually until the students have acquired
acceptable industry proficiency. Students will be asked to perform skills individually for assessments.
Every assessment will be geared to meet or exceed industry standards.

XII. ASSESSMENT STRATEGIES: Students will be assessed in a competency based method that will track their ability to
demonstrate manipulative skills (see specific project rubrics), cognitive skills (exams), 21st
Century/Employability Skills. Written assessments will be given periodically throughout the
year. Exams will have multiple choice, true/false, and math related completion problems. Most
exams include math problems that may require drawings, computations, and written
explanations.
Students will need to demonstrate pre-apprenticeship workman-like skills
Students will need to translate verbal and written instructions to real work settings
Students will be expected to show conscientious safe behaviors
Students will need to demonstrate effective communication and leadership skills
Students will need to compile a portfolio of all class assignments, projects, and handouts
Students will be expected to complete a resume and cover letter
Students will be required to achieve 100% proficiency on safety exams
Students must gain 80% proficiency on all written exams to achieve instructor referral
Students must achieve a 3 or better competency scores on manipulative “hands-on” projects to
meet pre-apprenticeship standing (industry qualifications) and instructor referral.
XIII. GRADING CRITERIA: WST grades are earned at six-week intervals, encompassing approximately 90 hours of
learning/instruction each grading period. Grades are available through your family access account and
are updated regularly. Grades are based on the following:
Attain identified knowledge, skills, and abilities as well as industry standards
Demonstrate knowledge and application of related theory
