Show Elementary introduction to 'World of Work' at South Jordan School Students at South Jordan Elementary School are receiving an intro duction into the "World of Work." No, they aren't being channeled to choose vocations nor trained for careers, says Allan Nelson, principal, but they are learning about several professions in the real working world. Special teaching units have been developed at the school with funds from a stale grant through vocational education. Teaching vocational awareness in elementary is a new concept, Prin. Nelson explained. "It's an exciting innovation, and we hope to be able to expand the program and make it aw to other schools in the district," he said. The "World of Work" program was developed by a 10 member team of teachers at the school who worked to plan and prepare teaching units that would give students insight into real occupations. The teacher team selected four areas of study: mechanics, carpentry, weather and supermarket sales. F.ach "World of Work" teaching model can be used in individual classrooms and rotated from class to class. The supermarket and weatherman units are designed for use by the primary grades. Teachers Ellen far ney, Lorna Hoyt, and Erva Smith have provided a weatherman. Projects may be done individually or in groups according to interest and ability level. The carpenter and mechanic "World of Work" centers were designed by Jim Morris, Calvin Skeem, James Bingham, and Sam Galloway. In the mechanics unit there are real motors, basic auto-mo- t ive tool sets, and visual aids showing what mechanics do and how they do it. In the carpentry unit there are carpenter's tools that the students may see and handle, as well as models of houses and blue prints and floor designs. As Mr Bingham explained the project. "We don't expect the students to become carpenters or mechanics, but when they are through with the unit of study we want them to know what a carpenter or a mechanic does and why they are important to the community. We expect them to know some of the safety rules for using tools," he con tinned. Mr Calloway added. "Of course, our major objective in elementary school is to teach the basic skills necessary to function in the real world. In the 'World of Work' units we never loose sight of the fundamentals," he explained. "As students participate in the carpentry or other projects, they are learning the basics of education. Reading, measuring, reasoning, and other thinking skills come into play as they participate. All of the questions involved with the unit are 'open ended', that is they require judgments and projective thinking." "The 'World of Work' is a tool to reinforce all of the other teaching objectives." Mr Galloway concluded. a miniature supermarket complete with checkout counter and cash register where students may simulate the experiences of a gro ceryman, bagger, cashier, etc. The weatherman unit was prepared by l'am Edmundson, Carolyn Lananga, and Roseniarie Smith. It features over 2(1 separate projects that students may do to gain insight into the profession of i , rr :'t"fr?
