Goal Metrics

OSHA Certification – Each student will complete a 10-hour safety course and receive OSHA10 certification.
Data requirement from California Department of Education: 50% population have to be ‘at risk’ student. That means Free & Reduced Lunch, foster kids, homeless kids, students with GPA < 2.0, students with too many tardys and/or absences. This means we can have smaller class size. This allows teachers to intervene when needed. Teachers have to volunteer for this program; they can’t be assigned. Students have to volunteer for this program; they can’t be assigned.
Safety – We will have a “Zero Days since injury” sign with the goal being to have a perfect safety record.
Trimester grade reporting – Students are graded 6 times per year. There will be an attempt to increase GPA. Any grade below a “C” needs to be dealt with.
Track students for attendance – Staff will intervene after 3 of either tardys or absences.
Any students with IEP (Independent Education Plan) or 504 (Federal Plan for accommodating disabilities) – to insure access & success in learning environment.

100% of students passed OSHA10 certification quickly.
Students demonstrated competency and knowledge of requisite tools and materials in construction trade.
Based on student success, monitoring student grade – demonstrating proficiency in various skills in a scaffolded manner – from basic to advanced – both tools and construction knowledge.
