Standards Standards are superscripted in each unit and are referenced in the appendices. Standards in the Plumbing Curriculum Framework and Supporting Materials are based on the following: National Center for Construction Education Research, Plumbing The NCCER developed and published a set of industry standards that are taught nationwide by contractors, associations, construction users, and secondary and postsecondary schools called the Contren Learning Series. When developing this set of standards, the NCCER assembled a team of subject matter experts that represented construction companies and schools across the nation. Each committee met several times and combined experts’ knowledge and experience to finalize the set of national industry standards. http://www.nccer.org/ Common Core State Standards Initiative The Common Core State Standards© provide a consistent, clear understanding of what students are expected to learn, so teachers and parents know what they need to do to help them. The standards are designed to be robust and relevant to the real world, reflecting the knowledge and skills that our young people need for success in college and careers. With American students fully prepared for the future, our communities will be best positioned to compete successfully in the global economy. Copyright 2010.

Preface Secondary career– technical education programs in Mississippi are faced with many challenges resulting from sweeping educational reforms at the national and state levels. Schools and teachers are increasingly being held accountable for providing true learning activities to every student in the classroom. This accountability is measured through increased requirements for mastery and attainment of competency as documented through both formative and summative assessments. The courses in this document reflect the statutory requirements as found in Section 37-3-49, Mississippi Code of 1972, as amended (Section 37-3-46). In addition, this curriculum reflects guidelines imposed by federal and state mandates (Laws, 1988, ch. 487, §14; Laws, 1991, ch. 423, §1; Laws, 1992, ch. 519, §4 eff. from and after July 1, 1992; Carl D. Perkins Vocational Education Act IV, 2007; and No Child Left Behind Act of 2001).

Plumbing Executive Summary Pathway Description Plumbing is a pathway in the Architecture and Construction career cluster. Study in the course allows an individual to prepare for employment and/or continued education in the plumbing field. Skills developed through the course of study assist students in meeting requirements for the NCCER certification. Students are provided the opportunity to participate in Career and Technical Student Organizations to include SkillsUSA. Industry Certification The NCCER developed and published a set of industry standards that are taught nationwide by contractors, associations, construction users, and secondary and postsecondary schools called the Contren Learning Series. When developing this set of standards, the NCCER assembled a team of subject matter experts that represented construction companies and schools across the nation. Each committee met several times and combined experts’ knowledge and experience to finalize the set of national industry standards. As a part of the accreditation process, all Mississippi construction instructors will be required to successfully complete the Instructor Certification Training Program. This program ensures that instructors possess a deep knowledge of content of the standards. This state-of-the-art curriculum is modeled after the eight Mississippi NCCER Accredited Training and Education Facilities (ATEF). In order to become an NCCER ATEF program, school districts must meet a set of guidelines including the following: 1. Use the approved curriculum. 2. All instructors must be NCCER certified. 3. All completed Form 200s and release forms on all student completions are to be forwarded to MCEF for proper approval. MCEF will in turn forward to NCCER for processing. 4. Follow NCCER guidelines on test security and performance profiles. 5. Have an active advisory committee with at least two commercial contractors involved. 6. Follow safety practices and Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) standards used in the class and lab areas. 7. Involve commercial contractors in class presentations or field trips. 8. All construction programs must be included in the accreditation process. 9. Show active involvement in student leadership development (e.g., VICA and SkillsUSA). 10. Provide demonstrated placement into construction-related occupations and timely reports to MCEF. Districts will be required to complete a self-evaluation of all programs and host a site visit from industry to ensure proper lab, safety, and instructional procedures are in place. Assessment Students will be assessed using the Plumbing MS-CPAS2 test. The MS-CPAS2 blueprint will be developed and placed online once the curriculum is implemented. A test will be developed once the curriculum is implemented. All students will test after year one of the Construction program. A second test covering the second year material in Plumbing will be administered to students upon completion of their program. If there are questions regarding assessment of this program, please contact the Architecture and Construction Instructional Design Specialist at the Research and Curriculum Unit at 662.325.2510. Student Prerequisites In order for students to be successful in the Plumbing program, the following student prerequisites are in place: 1. C or higher in English (the previous year) 2. C or higher in math (last course taken or the instructor can specify the math) or

Using this Document Unit Number and Title Suggested Time on Task An estimated number of clock hours of instruction that should be required to teach the competencies and objectives of the unit. A minimum of 140 hours of instruction is required for each Carnegie-unit credit. The curriculum framework should account for approximately 75–80% of the time in the course. Competencies and Suggested Performance Indicators A competency represents a general concept or performance that students are expected to master as a requirement for satisfactorily completing a unit. Students will be expected to receive instruction on all competencies. The suggested performance indicators represent the enabling and supporting knowledge and performances that will indicate mastery of the competency at the course level. Suggested Teaching Strategies This section of each unit indicates research-based strategies that can be used to enable students to master each competency. Emphasis has been placed on strategies that reflect active learning methodologies. Teachers should feel free to modify or enhance these suggestions based on needs of their students and resources available in order to provide optimum learning experiences for their students. Suggested Assessment Strategies This section indicates research-based strategies that can be used to measure student mastery. Examples of suggested strategies could include rubrics, class participation, reflection, and journaling. Again, teachers should feel free to modify or enhance these suggested assessment strategies based on local needs and resources. Integrated Academic Topics, 21st Century Skills and Information and Communication Technology Literacy Standards, ACT College Readiness Standards, and Technology Standards for Students This section identifies related academic topics as required in the Subject Area Testing Program (SATP) in Algebra I, Biology I, English II, and U.S. History from 1877, which are integrated into the content of the unit. Research-based teaching strategies also incorporate ACT College Readiness standards. This section also identifies the 21st Century Skills and Information and Communication Technology Literacy skills. In addition, national technology standards for students associated with the competencies and suggested objectives for the unit are also identified. References A list of suggested references is provided for each unit. The list includes some of the primary instructional resources that may be used to teach the competencies and suggested objectives. Again, these resources are suggested, and the list may be modified or enhanced based on needs and abilities of students and on available resources.
