ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES IN TECHNOLOGICAL EDUCATION
Students
Students have many responsibilities with regard to their learning. Students who make the effort required to succeed in school and who are able to apply themselves will soon discover that there is a direct relationship between this effort and their achievement, and will therefore be more motivated to work.
Mastering the concepts and skills connected with technological education requires work, study, and the development of cooperative skills. In addition, students who actively pursue opportunities outside the classroom will extend and enrich their understanding of technology. Their understanding and skills will grow as they engage in recreational activities that involve technology, reading related to technology (magazines…), and learning about technological advances.
Be on time, never be late
Never leave the classroom without my permission
Wear work-boots or at least running shoes, no open toe
Wear pants or appropriate shorts, no skirts or dresses
Always tie long hair back
No dangly jewellery
Safety glasses are a must
Duo tang, paper, pens, paper…

Note to parents/guardians and students:
Attendance, participation and co-operation are very important to the success of any student in this program. Dunnville S.S. has an excellent facility and I am hoping for a productive and fun semester.
YOU CAN LEARN THE THEORY AND THE SKILLS FROM ANY EXPERIENCED TRADES PERSON, BUT WITH A NEGATIVE ATTITUDE NO ONE WANTS TO EMPLOY OR TEACH YOU.
