Talk in science is critical. Talk is thinking spoken aloud. Talk needs to come before we ask Ss to write, construct explanations. Talk after Ss experience phenomena, building shared thinking & language, fluid , malleable open 2 revision. @KRScienceLady #ngsschat #ngss #PK2Gray
Great new report from @GeorgetownCEW on the uncertain path for youth to a good job. One thing it misses - we can't keep creating add-ons to a K12 system that isn't fundamentally designed to meet all students needs and expect a different result https://cew.georgetown.edu/cew-reports/pathway/

About the Program
Students in this program will learn the fundamentals aspects of manufacturing, engineering, and design processes through both academic and hands-on work. A number of projects will be completed throughout the year which are specifically designed to build the students’ ability to conceptualize a product, design that product, make that product, and, subsequently, evaluate the process.
Throughout the year, students will progressively increase knowledge in four target areas:
- Precision measurement (English and Metric)
- Communication (presentation, mechanical drawing,
- and 3D design using SolidWorks)
- Fabrication (sheet metal, welding, machining,
- 3D printing)
- Data analysis (MS Excel or equivalent)
Follow this link for the Advanced Manufacturing Programs CTE Proficiency Summary as detailed on the VT AOE website.
Students will have opportunities to earn certifications in areas such as safety, 3D design, and welding. Students also have the option of participating in annual SkillsUSA competitions. High School credits available include: VTC: Intro to Mechanical Technologies (1 Credit) Design Communication I (2 Credits) Manufacturing Processes I (2 Credits)Advanced Manufacturing and Engineering for a Sustainable Future Occupations
