Grade 11 - Personal and Interpersonal Management

PRESCRIBED LEARNING OUTCOMES

• identify and utilize employability skills
• describe career and entrepreneurial opportunities related to drafting and design
• apply safe work habits in accordance with established regulations, including WCB and WHMIS regulations
• demonstrate the importance of workstation ergonomics and physical activity to promote personal health and productivity
  
  

SUGGESTED INSTRUCTIONAL STRATEGIES

• Present the Conference Board of Canada's list of Employability Skills 2000+. This is available online at http://www.conferenceboard.ca/nbec/research.htm or from the Board at 255 Smyth Road, Ottawa, ON K1H 8M7 Canada, Tel. (613) 526-3280, Fax (613) 526-4857. Ask students to suggest how the various employability skills might be applicable in a drafting and design work environment.
• Discuss course and project marking criteria and their relationship to the student's ability to set priorities and organize their work.
  
• Have students maintain a log or journal to organize and assess their project work by:
  
  • documenting project flowcharts that identify sub-tasks and interim stages, as well as self-imposed deadlines for completion of these tasks and stages
    
  • recording drafting-related deadlines
    
  • self-checking work to ensure accuracy and completeness.
    
• As a class, generate a list of various occupations related to drafting and design. Have students work individually or in pairs to research particular occupations, including required training, wages, and responsibilities. Students could conduct their research through guest speakers or interviews, work experience, job shadowing, and Internet searches. Have students work in groups to produce a poster that represents their findings.
  
• Conduct a class discussion on aspects of a working environment:
  
  • hours of work
    
  • absence or tardiness
    
  • conflict resolution procedures
    
  • role of the student, teacher, workplace supervisor, etc.
    
  • dress code
    
  • job descriptions
    
  • school or employer expectations.

  Have each student develop a procedural guide for the work site.

• Conduct a class discussion on health problems that may result from working in a drafting and design environment. Have students develop a list of ways to prevent these problems.
  
  

SUGGESTED ASSESSMENT STRATEGIES

• Have students develop and maintain a self-checklist that might include:
  • a check plot to correct mistakes
    
  • use of marking criteria to check their work
    
  • use of ISO or ANSI standards.
    
• As students work together and independently, they display their attitudes towards their work. Observe the extent to which they:
  • are punctual
  • are productive during the time they are in class
    
  • are enthusiastic about their projects and assignments
    
  • participate fully in project work and assignments
    
  • demonstrate personal responsibility in group efforts to identify and solve problems
    
  • meet deadlines and due dates.
    
• Have students examine their projects. To focus their reflection, pose questions such as:
  • Is all the information there to enable someone to make the item?
    
  • Are the views and dimensions correctly located?
    
  • Have recognized standards been incorporated?
    
  • Have you kept the check plot and preliminary sketches?
    
• Have students maintain a design portfolio. To assist them in recording their thoughts, have them consider the following questions:
  • Have you clearly identified the design problem?
    
  • Have you documented evidence of research?
    
  • Have you generated a number of potential design solutions and a set of criteria for choosing the best one?
    
  • Have you chosen materials to best match the specific product requirements?
    
• Include injury prevention as a criterion for assessing any facility or workstation designs that students produce. Do the design solutions take into account ergonomics, storage provisions, and the shapes and positioning of objects conducive to safety and injury prevention?
