assignment:
In
our class, we have a club. This club is called a Career and Technical Student
Organizations or CTSO. The name
of
the CTSO is SkillsUSA. It is an international organization of around 300,000 students
like you, teachers, and
businesses,
all dedicated to developing a highly skilled American workforce.
The
organization was actually founded in Nashville in 1965.
So
what exactly is SkillsUSA and what is this club all about?
Here's
how we will find out:
Go
to http://www.skillsusa.org/
Click
on About Us>Key Facts>SkillsUSA Fact Sheet.
Read
the Overview and Mission portions. In your own words explain what SkillsUSA is
and what its purpose is.
Write
3 - 5 complete sentences.
There
are also contests and competitions for SkillsUSA members. These take place all
across the state and would
involve
missing a few days of school (SRA's) if you competed. I know that is bad news,
but true.
Go
to http://www.skillsusa.org/compete/contests.shtml
There
are three contest categories in which you might compete if you take courses
that I teach. What do you think
they
are? You do not have to go beyond G alphabetically.
This
club is also about community service. List five things you could do to be of
service to your community,
school,
or this classroom.
Next
week, we will discuss club membership, meetings and activities. So think about
it. Do you want to take a
field
trip, visit businesses like advertising agencies, have meetings and bring in
food? We'll talk next week.

cards and the other scenario on two different cards
(for will be a total of four index cards)
Critical Thinking
Techniques handout, as reference
ACTIVITY
Have four volunteers pass out one scenario index
card to each student. Give students two to three
minutes to assess the situation described on the
index card and plan what they would do in assuming
the leadership role described.
Have students read their scenario out loud to the
rest of the group and provide an explanation of their
plan of action.
Scenarios
#1 As the CEO of a growing web design
firm you have just signed a large contract
with a known company to design its
website. The contract is favorable to your
firm and the job will involve a lot of great
exposure. The only challenge is that the
work needs to begin right away and your
team/staff is already working 60 hours a
week to complete current assignments. To
hire more designers and staff will take at
least 60 days. As the CEO, what options
do you have to fulfill the contract and get
the work done?
