Reflection of instructional objectives, sequence and the assessment 2 | P a g e Section 1: Learning‐Teaching Context Somewhere High School is a diverse suburban public school district that is located in New York. The school is comprised of 928 students of whom 49.2% are male and 50.8% are female. This high school is home to five ethnic categories of students, of the 928 students 79.20% are Caucasian, 10.99% are African American, 5.82% are Asian/Pacific, 3.45% are Hispanic, and 0.54% are Native American; giving the school district a 21% minority student body. 14% of all students are eligible for free lunches, while 6% of students are eligible for reduced rate lunches. There are 76.63 full time teachers providing the building with a 1:12 student to teacher ratio, which is below the NYS average of 1:14. The district manages six schools and totals 2,868 students. The total district revenue is $49,733,000 which is almost double the state average of $26 million. All of these factors including class size, diverse ethnic backgrounds, and the rather low student to teacher ratio allow the district to have an 89% graduation rate. 2012 Budget Total District Funding $49,733,000 Local Funding $30,711,000 State Funding $17,396,000 Federal Funding $1,626,000 Total District Expenditure $45,902,000 Salaries Expense $26,670,000 Employee Benefits Expense $10,894,000 Capital Outlay Expense $2,289,000 Non‐Elementary/Secondary Expense $144,000 3 | P a g e The District uses a 4, ten‐week quarter (10 weeks each), alternate day block scheduling which meets the needs of this schools which offers eight courses, with half of the classes meet in double instructional blocks one day, while the other three or four c lasses meets in double blocks the next day. The pattern repeats throughout the 180 day school year resulting in an equal number of Day 1's and Day 2's regardless of the number of holidays or schooldays within a week. The official school day begins promptly at 7:45, where students attend their first period class (a double period), and then at 9:07 am students are dismissed to their home base. Students take this time to pledge allegiance to the flag and listen to the daily announcements. At 9:25am students are dismissed to go to their third period class. Lunches begin in fourth period and continue to sixth. The school day ends officially at 2:15 pm but after school studying, clubs, and activities are encouraged until 3:00 pm, at which time students must be picked up or use the late bus services. Looking at the technology department, there is a collaboration of Industrial Arts classes of the early twentieth century and new Project Lead the Way Engineering courses. The Cooperating teacher teaches four technology courses: Basic Woodworking, Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIM), Principles of Engineering (POE), and Experimental Design and Development (EDD). All but the basic wood working courses are part of a purchased curriculum called Project Lead the Way which is a private curriculum with a focus on science and engineering. In Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIM) students are asked questions like: how are things made? What processes go into creating products? How do assembly lines work? How has automation changed the face of manufacturing? While students discover the answers to these questions, they are learning about the history of manufacturing, robotics and automation, manufacturing processes, computer modeling, manufacturing equipment, and flexible manufacturing systems. This course is designed for 10th grade students. Principles of Engineering (POE) is designed for 11th grade students, this survey course exposes students to major concepts they’ll encounter in a post‐secondary engineering course of study. Topics include mechanisms, energy, statics, materials, and kinematics. They develop problem‐solving skills and apply their knowledge of research and design to create solutions to various challenges, document their work and communicate solutions. In the Experimental Design and 4 | P a g e Development (EDD) classroom, students will work in teams to design and develop an original solution to a valid open‐ended technical problem by applying the engineering design process. Students perform research to choose, validate, and justify a technical problem. After carefully defining the problem, teams design, build, and test their solutions while working closely with industry professionals who provide mentoring opportunities. Finally, student teams present and defend their original solution to an outside panel. This course is for 12th grade students only. Classroom size per course ranges from 15 to 18 students. The total number of students within the four technology courses is 80, with 75 of the students being male and 5 female.

14 1 12 0 15 1 15 2 17 1 Section 2: Learning Goals/Objectives The Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIM) course offers two different aspects of the learning process. The first half of the course is dedicated to educating the students about electronic systems and the automation side of the production line through hands on activities and worksheets. The students learn about the basics of simple circuits, mass production, open and closed systems and learn some of the skills required to maintain and operate Computer Numeric Controlled (CNC) milling machines and robotic arms. The second portion of the class is about how important good design is in every facet of manufacturing, from the primary process 5 | P a g e of extracting raw materials to understanding the company’s client and how the product that they are designing will affect the environment after it reaches the end of its life cycle. Each year the cooperating teacher challenges his CIM class by having them design a common item like a key chain from the ground up. Students must analyze material, cost, environmental impact, and follow specific constraints given to them by their teacher. The design aspects of the class are addressed through different learning objectives that fulfill various levels of Bloom’s taxonomy. Students learn everything from building and testing materials, to plotting x and y axis on cartesian coordinates for milling operations, to understanding the environmental impact of their product, and why that is important for future generations. They begin with brainstorming multiple ideas for their objects; their teacher encourages the student to think outside of the box and not to be limited by what is around them. Then students sketch ideas into working drawings: usually ten to twenty ideas are put down on paper, then they are critiqued to narrow their solutions down to two or three, then students begin to test their idea on computer software. Finally, students build most of the pieces of their product and run it through a simulation software to see if their equations will work in a practical application like the CNC milling machine. Throughout the entire manufacturing process, students will learn a variety of key concepts, ideas, skills and gain overall knowledge. Students will be exposed to activities which address learning such as ideas from a classroom book, completing worksheets, studying homework for a test and hands on learning. All of these will be applied through various processes to hit on many different standards both at the national and state level. By applying a foundation of basic knowledge in which students learn about manufacturing pre 1900’s to modern manufacturing, students will be able to grasp the concept of evolution of manufacturing processes. This shows the students where the ideas came from to create more efficient systems which lead to creating more efficient and better products. This concept alone will help students with the following ITEEA Standards: Standard 1: Students will develop an understanding of the characteristics and scope of technology; 6 | P a g e Standard 2: Students will develop an understanding of the core concepts of technology; Standard 6: Students will develop an understanding of the role of society in the development and use of technology; Standard 7: Students will develop an understanding of the influence of technology on history. The following are objectives and goals that are guiding the instruction of the class: •

Students will be able to create a class product using manufacturing ideas learned throughout the course Section 3: Assessment Plan One of the most important parts of a classroom is the development of an assessment plan. Throughout the entire course there are many different ways to assess student knowledge, achievement and overall skills. It is difficult to understand the amount of progress that students have made without giving them a form of testing before the instruction can begin. As part of student teaching we are required to pre‐test students. For our base, I gave students a 25 multiple choice question test. Assessment plan for this course consists of students completing a few basic homework assignments based on the lessons for the day, the completion of worksheets related to project based work, the pre and post‐test and the production of a classroom project. The first way for me to assess the students’ knowledge of the curriculum was to give the students a pre‐test on manufacturing ideas, consepts of design, and processes. The test (located in section 5) has questions that touch on many different aspects of the goals of this course. After giving this test to the students it was clear that they have not had very much experience with the industrial revolution and basic manufacturing knowledge. Most students got 13 out of 25 questions correct, giving them a score 52% out of 100%. In order to assess the students on more than just the knowledge they have learned throughout this class, another assessment will be administered and it will be project based. The students are required to create a product that is to be completed as an individual assignment. Each student will need to have a specific job during the production process of this item and at this point I will be able to spend time working with them individually on the machinery. Students will need to learn the basic skills of using all the machinery in the shop so that any one person could potentially operate every aspect of the production line. Having worked with the students already, using some basic carpentry tools and a few students on the power tools, I have identified which students will need more help than others operating the 8 | P a g e machinery. After the
e completion
n of the prod
duct, an assiggnment will be given to the studentts to brief one pagge response about their experience on the mach
hinery. The sstudents will write a b

Students will also be tested on the two homework assignments given to them, the project plan sheet to begin brainstorming for a class product and filling out the flow process chart. The performance level of students will be graded based on two things, their ability to work on machinery in the shop and the evaluation of themselves on a one page response. Their performance on a machine will be graded based on what the progress that I can visually see while working on a machine. 10 | P a g e Lesson 1:

Having previously taught at the middle school level for seven weeks helped me establish an understanding of how to run the classroom and effectively keep kids on task. After going through that experience, it helped with the pressures of teaching at the high school level. I contacted my cooperating teacher weeks prior to actually arriving at the district to attempt getting my unit plan started. This proved to be a very difficult task as I tried to incorporate all of the ideas and topics that we learned about in the collegel level manufacturing class. After I had developed a general outline for the unit, we met again and I explained what I was trying to work on. Then I was able to get a better focus on the class and exactly what I needed to teach to the students. The first two days of my placement we sat down and talked about what key topics that we need to focus on that the students would be able to handle. My cooperating taecher had informed me that the students were not too skilled when it comes to working with the machines in the shop. With this information one of my first goals was to be able to get the students more comfortable with all of the machines in the classroom so that when it comes time to making a final product they would feel comfortable during every step used. Another goal I set for the students was to teach them the history of how modern manufacturing came to be and the topics that sparked the industrial revolution. This goal was there because you truly cannot appreciate something until you understand where it comes from and what life would be like if we never had it. A quick activity we did to hammer the point home was I had the kids think about the objects in their daily life that they love and use everyday. Then they had to think if it was a result of modern manufacturing and if so what life woudl be like without it. The rest of the goals were similar in that I wanted to pass knowledge onto them about what manufacturing is about and the steps or processes that we use to make products. One that they will use in their everyday lives is the ability to work together and continually be safe. 33 | P a g e
