The development of this skill standards project was a collaborative effort sponsored by the Office of Career, Technical, and Adult Education at the Department of Education and the Center for Workforce Development at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas.  Most important, however, is recognition of the time, expertise and great diligence provided by the writing team members in developing this first draft of the Occupational Skill Standards for Metalworking.

Introduction

The Department of Education has undertaken an ambitious effort to develop statewide occupational skill standards.  The standards in this document are for metalworking programs and are designed to clearly state what the student should know and be able to do upon completion of an advanced high-school program.

The writing team determined that any statewide skill standards for programs that teach metalworking should be designed to teach entry-level and advanced skills related to industry standards.  The standards cover the following areas: (1) Safety;  (2) Measurement and Layout; (3) Metallurgy; (4) Tools and Machines; (5) Welding; (6) Sheet Metal; (7) Machine Tools; (8) Employability Skills.  The standards also include the math skills students need to be successful in the industry.

These exit-level standards are designed for advanced programs, for students completing at minimum a two-year metalworking program.  Students at the appropriate level of instruction will be expected to demonstrate competence for all performance indicators in the "meets standard" domains for each performance standard. Teachers are encouraged to use them to focus curriculum objectives for entry-level programs, also.

The standards are organized as follows: 

Content Standards are general statements that identify major areas of knowledge, understanding, and skills students are expected to learn in key subject and career areas by the end of the program.

Following each Content Standard are a number of Performance Standards. Performance Standards identify the more specific components of each content standard and define the expected abilities of students within each content standard.

Each Performance Standard is analyzed into specific Performance Indicators. Performance Indicators are very specific criteria statements for determining whether a student exceeds the standard, meets the standard, or whose performance approaches the standard. Performance Indicators may also be used as learning outcomes which teachers can identify as they plan their program learning objectives.
