Bringing Up the Trades
∗ Amount Requested: $67,321
∗ Proposer: Baker School
∗ Project Summary:
∗ The requested funding is to purchase materials required for a basic construction
course for the foundation of the NCCER program. The supplies consumed
annually are purchased through the Carl Perkins Vocational Grant
∗ Funds will be used for: general shop tool locker with tools; building trades tool
locker with tools; woodworking tool locker with tools; station workbenches;
simulators from RealityWorks; and steel stools
∗ Specific Objectives: 1. To focus on a clear curriculum aimed at achieving the goal
of foundational math skills for all students. 2. To meet the needs of construction
and safety at the middle school level with the concepts taught in an application
method. 3. To incorporate the relationship of math and tools application. 4. To
create and conceptualize designs for production. 5. To increase the analytical
component required for construction 6. To develop communication skills and
leadership of a superintendent role in teamwork to reach a common goal
∗ The topics are the foundational necessities to succeed in the high school career
academies that lead to high wage, high demand occupations in our region as well
as the State of Florida. This course will set the foundation of the math standards
required for construction.
