2 Technical-Vocational Education Overview In 2013, Manitoba Education released the document Technical-Vocational Education Overview < to provide the philosophical and pedagogical underpinnings for curriculum development and the teaching of courses in the Senior Years Technology Education Program. This overview presents educators with the vision and goals of technical-vocational education (TVE) in Manitoba. Topics include the following: curriculum revitalization and renewal curriculum framework and implementation articulation assessment and reporting safety employability/essential skills and career development sustainable development The TVE curriculum includes Grades 9 to 12 courses in a variety of areas, including welding technology. Introduction Grades 9 to 12 Welding Technology: Manitoba Technical-Vocational Curriculum Framework of Outcomes identifies the goals, general learning outcomes (GLOs), and specific learning outcomes (SLOs) for nine welding technology courses. This framework is intended for use in all Manitoba schools teaching Welding Technology as part of the Senior Years Technology Education Program. 17 August 2015 Welding Technology Curriculum Overview Page 2 of 10

3 Curriculum Description A student graduating from the Welding Technology program can seek entry level employment as a welder or apprentice welder in a variety of fields including boilermaker, production welder, maintenance welder, millwright, aerospace welder, fitter welder, collision repair welder, welding inspector, pipeline welder, etc. To help further their careers in welding, Welding Technology graduates have the option to seek apprenticeship and post-secondary training. Welding Technology graduates are typically employed in a variety of industries including manufacturing, construction, maintenance and repair, oil and gas, government, auto body and repair, the military, etc. Welding Technology graduates will be able to demonstrate the following: 1. basic weld joints in a variety of positions and processes, including Oxy- Acetylene, GMAW (MIG) and SMAW (ARC) 2. design and fabrication of metal projects 3. basic understanding of metallurgy 4. safe and appropriate operation, cleaning, maintenance, and storage of welding equipment, tools, materials, products & consumable items 5. health and safety practices and procedures 6. fundamental employability skills 7. an understanding of sustainability 8. ethical and legal standards 9. working conditions and career opportunities 10.understanding of the evolution, technological progression and emerging trends 11.essential skills from other subject areas such as Mathematics, Science, etc 17 August 2015 Welding Technology Curriculum Overview Page 3 of 10

4 Delivery of the Welding Technology Subject Area To receive a Senior Years Technical Education diploma, a student must complete eight departmentally developed courses from an approved technical-vocational cluster, together with 16 compulsory credits and six optional credits. The grade level in which the courses are offered are a local school based decision, but it is highly recommended that the sequencing of credits follow the schedule set out below. In most courses, the emphasis is on applied activities. For instructional purposes, the sequence of outcomes can vary based on the activities within the course. Teachers are advised to select the activities best suited to teach the outcomes, based on a variety of factors, including access to resources, or regional needs. 1. The curriculum is not sequential. In other words, outcomes might be taught in an order different from how they appear in the document. 2. In light of rapidly changes in technology, teachers are encouraged to update their activities in order to meet the needs of students. 17 August 2015 Welding Technology Curriculum Overview Page 4 of 10

5 Level 1 Apprenticeship In order to teach the courses listed above, teachers must refer to the Industrial Welder curriculum documents produced by Apprenticeship Manitoba which are found here: The Specific Learning Outcomes in the 8 mandatory courses include all of the objectives found in the Manitoba Apprenticeship Training for Industrial Welder. In some cases, the Apprenticeship objectives have been reworded to make them more consistent with the Frameworks, or more appropriate for high school students. The Apprenticeship objectives alphanumeric designations are at the end of this Framework s Specific Learning Outcomes. For example, the following SLO is found under General Learning Outcomes 1.1 in all courses. Identify safety and health requirements. A1.1 The A1.a.1found at the end indicates that this outcome is taken from Industrial Welder Level 1: Unit A1.a Trade Safety Awareness (ATQ Board Standard), Objective 1. You will find it on page 1 of that document. The Apprenticeship documents provide necessary, detailed information and clarification of the high school Frameworks outcomes. Teachers must teach all of the objectives and content found in the Apprenticeship documents that are referenced in the Frameworks of Outcomes. Welding Technology programs delivering the 8 mandatory courses may be eligible for accreditation with Apprenticeship Manitoba.

6 Welding Technology Goals, General Learning Outcomes (GLOs) and Specific Learning Outcomes (SLOs) Grades 9 to 12 Welding Technology: Manitoba Technical- Vocational Curriculum Framework of Outcomes identifies specific learning outcomes (SLOs) for use in all Manitoba schools teaching Grades 9 to 12 welding technology as part of the Senior Years Technology Education Program. SLO statements define what students are expected to achieve by the end of a course. It is essential for students to learn and to demonstrate safety practices and employability skills; therefore, some SLOs related to health and safety, as well as to employability skills are repeated in several courses. Please note that SLOs are not identified for the goals and GLOs that are not addressed in a given course. The learning outcomes for each course in the Welding Technology program were developed based on the following program goals and general learning outcomes: Goal 1: Describe and apply appropriate health and safety practices. GLO 1.1: Demonstrate adherence to safe practices and procedures for facilities, processes, tools and equipment. Goal 2: Demonstrate an understanding of metallurgy. GLO 2.1: Demonstrate a basic understanding of metallurgy as it applies to welding. Goal 3: Demonstrate the identification, operation, maintenance and storage of equipment, materials and consumable items. GLO 3.1: Demonstrate the identification and operation of equipment, materials & consumable items. GLO 3.2: Demonstrate the safe and appropriate maintenance and storage of equipment, materials & consumable items. GLO 3.3: Demonstrate awareness of hoisting, lifting and rigging procedures. GLO 3.4: Demonstrate awareness of access equipment. 17 August 2015 Welding Technology Curriculum Overview Page 6 of 10

10 Curriculum Implementation Dates During voluntary implementation, teachers have the option of teaching the entire new draft curriculum as soon as Manitoba Education and Advanced Learning releases it on the Technology Education website at They also have the option of teaching the courses from the previous curriculum. Teachers who implement courses before system-wide implementation need to ensure that students who are already taking courses from the previous curriculum achieve all SLOs with a minimum of redundancy. Voluntary implementation of all courses began in the fall of 2013 and will continue until their respective system-wide implementation dates. Date System-Wide Implementation Fall 2014 Grade 9 (optional) Fall 2015 Grade 10 Fall 2016 Grade 11 Fall 2017 Grade 12 Under system-wide implementation, all teachers in Manitoba teach the new curriculum and use the new course codes. Teachers will no longer be able to use the previous course codes. Course codes are found in the Subject Table Handbook: Technology Education at 17 August 2015 Welding Technology Curriculum Overview Page 10 of 10
