The Student Resource section is where you will find links to our program syllabus, our weekly lesson plans, and links to tutorials for the sophomore, junior, and senior class. Every semester all shop students are required to complete 4 online tutorials that range in content and software knowledge.
Tutorials can be completed at home (if you have the software) and during class time when a student has finished a project early. Tutorials are used to increase the vocabulary and reading comprehension through the use of content-rich non-fiction reading that is used in all tutorials. All students are required to record two-column notes when completing each tutorial.
