Attached is my lesson plan and skill sheet that I created to teach students how to safely use the miter saw. The miter saw is a common tool that is used within the construction industry so it is important that students know how to use it if they wish to pursue a career in construction. After learning about the different parts and purposes of the miter saw, students will apply what they have learned by demonstrating how to safely use the miter saw. Throughout the entire course, students will continue to use the miter saw for various activities and projects.
My unit plan aligns with industry standards and competencies. In my unit plan are lessons on how to use tools and equipment that are commonly used in the industry. Students will develop technical skills that will make them competent within the workforce. Students will also develop employability skills like critical thinking, teamwork, and workplace etiquette through carious activities and projects. Lessons are built upon each other so that students will first learn by watching and listening, and then they are given opportunities to apply what they have learned through realistic and hands-on activities.
