Description
Construction 1 will use both the classroom setting and job site environment to give students an introduction to the high-demand field of construction and teach them the skills that are necessary to build a house. Over the course of the school year, students will be introduced to all phases of home construction from framing to floor and countertop installation. Students will learn how to safely utilize and operate a variety of tools. Another goal of this course is to embed math instruction into lessons so students understand the importance of the math they learn and the relevance in a real-world work environment. Students will be put in situations where they will have to collaborate and problem solve in order to complete projects. Different aspects of the course will be taught by industry professionals who have agreed to partner with GHS to provide this type of education for students. Students will learn professional skills like customer service, punctuality, bookkeeping, and construction management.
