I approached these lesson plans with the simple goal of figuring out how to run the first two days of a woodshop class. I was afraid that if I tried to fill in the official National University lesson plan chart, I would not accomplish anything practical. I am aware that I will need to do this eventually, but it was more important for me to know the entirety of 'a start', before trying to decipher the 'code' of credential work. The simple act of choosing an industrial/tech standard to write a plan to is complicated. Unlike academic standards like math or english that have their own stanards, Industrial arts standards are buried in a Career and technical standard that is 441 pages and include a lot of other standards that are not industrial arts.
It is also interesting to note that an Industrial arts class is never scrutinized for following or even teaching standards. The reality of shop/industrial arts classes takes on a life of their own, teaching working knowledge for making things. The entire mode of learning, hands-on, is different from the academic standards based classrooms. Even if there is some attention paid to hands-on learning, whether through an insightful administrator's philosophy, or having a shop at the school, it is functionally eclipsed by the national standard of academic and college prep focus.

Links and notes and thoughts

These are the standards for career and technical education as adopted by the State of California. I envision using these standards in a open source CMS in a coming version of Plumbob.org.

I have highlighted the standards areas that I know to be on the CSET exam. This gives you a quick look at how broad the standard is and a glimpse of what you need to be familiar with to get a job teaching in a typical public school shop.
We need to develop value in these standards and teach our youth through them.

Lesson plan- dust collection lesson. intro to the shop, in two days. what-is-it, block of wood. safety intro with wound recognition social/mingle.
1. write objectives.
2. dev instructional strategies and student activities; what will I do, what will they be doing.
3. how will we assess the learning.

Intro to shop: day one, 60 minutes. we will consider injury and talk about basic safety strategies for operating/using tools and handling materials in a wood shop. learn about air quality and dust removal system operation and purpose.
ojectives:

in the intern we will write 32 lesson plans. we can modify ones we have written to make new ones.

I have a basic understanding of assessments/evaluation concepts after this course. I read the chapter so I could follow along in class, but I thought the discussion was wandering and lacked strong authoritative guidance when candidates would get confused on specific examples.

Class exercise

The child in me was stubbornly avoiding the class discussion in protest of the apparent lack of thought put into this lesson. The class exercise felt similarly so, since all of the examples needed added context, and again, there was a lot of un-authoritative scrambling for the answers on the professors behalf.
