Description:
Production Technology 11 and 12 are an introduction to the production process based on custom production. Students will solve real world problems in both the production and computer labs, paralleling today’s commercial production. This will give students the opportunity to take part in product planning, product design, product fabrication, product testing, and product analysis. Impact of production on society, individuals, and the environment will also be discussed. By the end of the course students will have had the opportunity to learn about and use various types of hand and power tools, as well as several production machines used in industry today. Students will also be given time to further develop any specialty skills that interest them.
Course Objectives:
By the end of the course students understand:
- How to work as an individual and as a team member.
- How to develop and utilize problem-solving techniques.
- How to work safely and efficiently in the production lab.
- Many different careers in production technology.
- The different materials used in production.
- How to work with in a budget.
Course Outcomes (all will be covered to some degree):
By the end of the course students will be able to demonstrate and understanding of production technology. They will be able to demonstrate:
Expectations:
Production Technology 11and 12 are hands-on courses with the majority of work done in class. Therefore, students are expected to be in class, be on time, and be prepared to work. Respect is also expected. This can include, but is not limited to, respect for oneself, respect for others, respect for the teacher, and respect for the facilities and equipment provided.
Final Exam Exemptions:
Students will have the opportunity to exempt a Final Exam if he/she does not exceed:
Maximum of 6 Excused Absences
Maximum of 6 Late Arrivals to Class (After 15 mins Student will be marked Absent unless late arrival has been approved)

PDT 11 & 12 Course work 80% Process Exam 20% Total: 100%
*Note: Students can expect to be working on the Process Exam portion in the week prior to Final Exams
*Note: If a student chooses to use any specialty wood or other costly materials they will be responsible for bringing it in.
Assessment of the course material will be conducted following the assessment and evaluation processes described below:
Assessment is the process of gathering, from a variety of sources, information that accurately reflects how well a student is achieving the learning outcomes in a subject or course. A) Formative assessment is to show growth over time, determine student needs, plan next steps in instruction, and provide students with descriptive feedback. B) Summative assessment is to determine the extent to which learning has occurred for students. Evaluation is the process of analyzing, reflecting upon, and summarizing assessment information and making judgments and / or decisions based on the information gathered.
Multiple Opportunities: Students will have multiple opportunities to demonstrate their ability through a variety of learning styles such as conversations, observations and products/performances (COP) using methods that align with the skills and concepts being assessed. For example (but not limited to) checklists, debates, descriptive feedback, examinations, tests, quizzes, experiments and labs, homework, journals, projects, portfolios, presentations, performances, rubrics, self-assessments, written assignments, ICA’s (in class assessments).
Communication of Student Achievement is a collaborative effort of all stakeholders (student/parent/teacher) is important to ensure student academic success. In an effort to maintain communications, a number of avenues are available: • Class websites • Marks and attendance can be checked at any time on Parent/Student Portal of Powerschool. (If you do not have a password for the portal, please contact the main office) • Parents and students are encouraged to contact the teacher via e-mail if they have any concerns regarding academic progress
