Draft of Day 15 for the Construction Foundation Course.

1. LEARN – DAY 15
Construction Foundation Course

2. Week Three: Day 15 (Friday)
First and Second Hours (7:30 – 9:30) - 1
• Check-in: Shake hands. Remind students: binders, seating.
Start class.
• Review the day: Review the day’s activities from the list on the
board or chart paper.
• Binder check: This can be done at any time during the day.
THE FORMAT FOR FIRST AND SECOND HOURS IS
THE SAME AS DAY 11

3. Week Three: Day 15 (Friday)
First and Second Hours (7:30 – 9:30) - 2
120 minutes:
• Curriculum: Centers should choose a curriculum with nationally-
recognized certification, such as the American Red Cross or
American Heart Association.
• Instructors: Instructors for this curriculum unit may need to be
certified by the national organization. They do not have to be
health professionals, although that would be an asset.
• Length: There are 9 hours allotted for the curriculum unit plus
one additional hour on Friday for the certification exam (and
additional study prior to the exam, if time allows.) This may be
slightly longer or shorter than your traditional curriculum, so you
may need to adjust your timing slightly. Note that the Foundation
Course asks you to include trade vocabulary and note-taking (see
below) which may require a small amount of additional time.
CPR – First Aid

4. Week Three: Day 15 (Friday)
First and Second Hours (7:30 – 9:30) - 3
• Materials/equipment/textbooks: Most centers will have the
required materials, books, and equipment, as CPR/First Aid is
regularly taught as a part of CNA and other career technical
courses in Health occupations.
• Instructional strategies: Note-taking guides formatted like
Advance Organizers (i.e., questions column on the left, notes on
the right, summary at the bottom) should be used throughout the
CPR/First Aid unit, even if they haven’t been before. This will
- give students the information to study for the certification
test in a structure they’re used to, while emphasizing the
need to take notes on all material;
- hold students responsible for recording the main ideas in
films, demonstrations, and mini-lectures during the unit; and
- allow students to ask intelligent, targeted questions about the
material both at the time of presentation and in review.

5. Week Three: Day 15 (Friday)
First and Second Hours (7:30 – 9:30) - 4
• Trade vocabulary: In addition to the notes discussed above and
the traditional materials used in the course, instructors will
need to incorporate the CPR/First Aid vocabulary terms as
flashcards. There is no set list, as the terms may vary by
provider (e.g., Red Cross, American Heart Association) and by
region; however, there is a basic list we’ve compiled that is part
of the Part II – Vocabulary Cards section. If you include
additional terms, provide 3 x 5 cards for these. Ask students to
write the term on one side of the card and the definition on the
other side. Like the note-taking, use of this basic strategy is
important to ensure continuity in learning/practicing important
concepts.
• Stretch breaks: Incorporate as appropriate.
Snack Break (9:30-9:40)

6. Week Three: Day 15 (Friday)
Third and Fourth Hours (9:40 – 11:30) - 1

• Reflect. Lead a whole-group reflection on the week, focusing on the
following questions for approximately 15 minutes:
- How does the reality of Job Corps compare to what you thought it
would be like before you arrived?
- In what ways are you different as a student here than you were in
traditional high school?
- What is the most interesting thing you’ve learned in the Foundation
Course so far?
• Write. Ask students to write 2 sentences on one of the above 3 topics.
Explain that their feedback will be shared with the Center Director so
he/she can know how they are doing since they arrived on center.
Share with a partner to edit
and turn it in.
