Masonry III

Students build on skills introduced in Masonry II to use tools, equipment, and machinery according to manufacturer guidelines and federal, state, and local regulations. Students will differentiate and select mortar, apply mathematical concepts, interpret blueprints used in masonry, and complete advanced projects laying masonry units (brick and block). Students focus on problem-solving and employability skills while performing hands-on, entry-level brick and block masonry tasks. Contextual instruction and student participation in co-curricular career and technical student organization (CTSO) activities will develop leadership, interpersonal, and career skills. High-quality work-based learning (HQWBL) will provide experiential learning opportunities related to students' career goals and/or interests, integrated with instruction, and performed in partnership with local businesses and organizations.
