This plan is the first day of a shop class.(~50 min) As industrial arts teachers, we are not held to any standards that we need to meet. In fact the CTE standards held by state of california do not cover the basic operations of a shop class. They are more like the component knowledge of what you might know if you can run or operate well in a shop well.
I will adapt some of the standards an IA teacher is responsible for when testing for the credential(CSET) to teach shop.

Introduction: (Identify Grade Level K12 Academic Content Standard(s), rationale, focus learner, create bridges from past learning, behavior expectations)

This is the first day of a middle school shop class, beginner level. Cover saftey standards and operational overview and demonstrations of safety equipment, design, and thinking. End with discipline and expectations so that the students will leave thinking about how to behave next time they come back.
