What we teach Lewisham College is made up of three faculties - General Education, Vocational Education and Foundation Studies - and each of the faculties is comprised of a number of schools, which are responsible for delivering specific areas of the curriculum. Faculty of General Education Academy for Young People 'Whatever your starting point and wherever you want to go, if you are aged between 16 and 19, we have a programme that is ideal for you' We offer three main pathways for study - academic, occupational (to prepare you for a particular trade) and vocational (to prepare you for a particular industry). The College offers a wealth of courses and qualifications and our exam results are excellent, especially at A-level, where our overall pass rate in 2002 was 98 per cent, taking us to a six-year high and beating the national average. We also make a special point of offering students more than qualifications, ensuring that they leave with the additional skills needed to succeed for work, for further study - and for life. Adult Continuing Education 'Designed to give adults the confidence in themselves to move on in education or work-based training' The School of Adult Continuing Education (ACE), has been set up to look after the interests of students who are not 16-19 and who wish to study an academic subject rather than a vocational area. Most of our current students are part time and they study a range of subjects from basic skills to A-levels. We offer two routes to university-bound students, including full-time Access courses, where students attend classes over three days or two evenings, or alternatively students may opt to top-up their portfolio with a part-time, evening AS/A-level.

x v IS A VOCATIONAL PROGRAM FOR YOU? The staff and administration of the vocational programs welcome you to consider vocational courses during your high school career. These programs are designed to provide practical experiences to prepare you for a chosen vocation upon graduation or to further your education in a technical, associate degree or bachelor degree program at a post-secondary institution. Vocational courses are “hands-on” where you will learn by doing in the classroom, in a lab, in a shop, on a construction site, or on the job. The vocational courses offer high quality instruction to help prepare you for the transition from school to work. In these programs, expectations are set high and requirements are high. You will learn self-discipline in a training environment that affords you the opportunity to meet and work with employers in the area. You will learn technical skills and life skills necessary to function in the “real world of work.” Resume writing, interviewing skills, and dressing for success are just a few of the areas included to prepare you for life beyond high school. You will find the curriculum challenging and very rewarding if you dedicate your energy to the achievement of excellence. As a member of a vocational team, you will find the staff and administration dedicated to helping you achieve excellence.

Surveying and Assessing the Environmental Compatibility of a Building Construction Site By Jan Barbee Abstract Type of Activities: This project requires a vast amount of hands-on experimentation, data analysis, cooperative/interdisciplinary learning, community involvement, and job shadowing/career awareness as students examine an area of land and assess its suitability for construction purposes. Target Audience: I utilize this project in biology classes after the students have completed a unit of study on ecosystems. This project is designed to apply all of the knowledge and skills that the students have mastered. This project would also be very well suited for environmental studies. Background Information This is the final project after an extensive study of ecosystems. I spend nearly nine weeks on ecosystems. I cover plants and animals, climatology, types of ecosystems, components of ecosystems, cycles in ecosystems, and changes in ecosystems. Only after the students have completed these tasks are they able to carry out this project. The Project The students will be assigned an area of land. This land must be closely examined and studied to assess its suitability for construction purposes. I have the luxury of team teaching this activity with our building trades instructor. We combine our classes for the duration of the project. I teach the biological aspects of the project while he focuses on the construction and business side of the project. We select an actual future construction site. The stages of the project are listed below.

In many of the trades, but especially in Building Trades, we find students ages 16-18 who can't do linear measurements. Do you have any suggestions on how to best teach the "inch." We have tried a few texts but haven't been successful. Any books, handouts, etc.that you have found successful? Sincerely, Kay Doolan http://mathforum.org/dr.math/ Date: 7/11/96 at 12:37:34 From: Kay Doolan Subject: Re: How to Teach the Inch Dear Dr. Math, Thanks for the answer. I am taking a computer course and yours is the first reply I have ever gotten through E-mail. This is fun! However, I guess I didn't ask a very clear question. How do you teach a group of Building Trades students to measure to 1/16ths? How do you get them to read 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, etc? Thanks, Kay D. Date: 7/11/96 at 14:8:52 From: Doctor Ceeks Subject: Re: How to Teach the Inch Hi, This is a very difficult question to answer without being directly involved with the students. There are so many facets to understanding fractional measurements that it is impossible to guess what each person is having trouble with (is it fractions themselves? Or could it be the problem that most things are not measurable in simple fractions? Or could it be technique in actually carrying out the measurement? etc) However, there are many concrete objects (wood planks, screw size, nail length, etc.) which demand measurements accurate to the 16th inch. Perhaps if you make them try to build something which demands such accuracy, they will be forced to understand the importance of measuring to the 16th inch. If you can describe in more detail what is happening with the students, Dr. Math can probably be more helpful. -Doctor Ceeks, The Math Forum Check out our web site!

Published since January 1900 Special ON-LINE Edition "School Vouchers" The Case Against School Vouchers By Yves Barbero The latest "reform" by conservatives proposes a system of school vouchers, which they claim would solve most of the "problems" that trouble public schools. Public schools, they claim, are not educating our children, and are a cauldron of violence and immorality. There are indeed problems with public schools. However, study after study has shown that the American public school system is among the finest in the industrial world. Violence is extremely rare despite the occasional and very visible school shooting (private schools have been shot-up as well). It is a very big system, and is statistically, according to the FBI, one of the safest places a child can be. As to immorality, many social conservatives think that the development of intellectual skills and independent thinking among the young, much needed for survival in our modern world, rather than the straightforward implantation of a strict obedience to civil or religious authority, is immoral. School vouchers have a certain appeal, which has little to do with improving a child's education. A voucher system is a means to give public money to religious organizations. It is also a means to undermine a teacher's right to organize into a bargaining unit.

Published since January 1900 Special ON-LINE Edition Back Issues (Editorial) From Organized Labor , Monday, November 18, 2002 By Stan Warren Executive Secretary San Francisco Building and Construction Trades Council It is nice to have the election process behind us, for now anyway. Many of the people with whom I spoke, or overheard speaking about the election, seemed to emit a sort of lethargic aura. A lack of energy or desire to focus on getting out the vote, or for that matter voting at all, seemed prevalent amongst my many encounters with folks. There were, however, enough candidates and supporters around to demonstrate their desire or passion for a particular issue or candidate. For example, one candidate who approached me used foul language in a manner that exhibited that person's true hostile and vindictive nature. Their comments seemed to suggest to me that since our support went to the opponent, I (the Council) had somehow assaulted them, and therefore retribution against me (Council) was warranted. Another candidate said that the mafia is alive and well in the Building Trades and that we are as "polite as a bull in a China shop." Huh? My point is not to whine or complain about how people treated me, or anyone else for that matter, during the election process, but to merely point out that regardless of how one feels about the local, state or national political environment, you must play a role in it or be prepared to endure the consequences of those who are involved, regardless of how ridiculous we might feel about them.

Unions United Brotherhood of Carpenters Union By Jamie McCallum M ike Griffin has been a carpenter in Decatur Illinois for five years, but recently he found himself working with the pipe systems that power huge turbines. The United Brotherhood of Carpenters (UBC) signed a deal with Westinghouse guaranteeing that carpenters can do pipefitters’ work if they agree to work for 10 percent less than the normal pay rate. “The UBC is teaching apprentices and members that you have to compete against your brother,” Griffin said. “Well, not me.” Members protested, threatening to take action with the AFL-CIO and the contract was renegotiated for more money. Still, Griffin and other rank and file members within the carpenters’ union think this is the shape of things to come. UBC management recently decided to withdraw its founding membership from the AFL-CIO, claiming the money it could be spending to organize new workers is being wasted by “Washington bureaucrats.” However, many members contend management would like the freedom to raid and sign more wall to wall contracts, which could send the wages of over 500,000 carpenters and about 3 million members in the building trades plummeting. Raiding is the practice of taking workers from one affiliated union to another, which is illegal under article 20 of the AFL-CIO Constitution. At a time when such a small percentage of the workforce is unionized, this clause is designed to encourage unions to organize the unorganized, not to bicker over a group of already-organized workers. A wall to wall agreement, sometimes referred to as a raid among the 15 building trades unions, is a contractor-friendly deal where one union does all the work typically performed by many crafts cheaper by undercutting the pay scale of other unions. With more carpenters on the job site, union management rakes in more dues money. However, using economic pressure to gain access to another trade’s work is illegal according to the AFL-CIO constitution, and violates building trades agreements that protect craft jurisdictions.

December 2000 Ian MacIsaac Field Representative/Organizer Local 1178 Report Since our last newsletter went out, work has picked up slightly for the Local. There are several small jobs presently going on in the province. We are anxiously awaiting announcements on a couple of major projects for the Guysborough County and Strait of Canso area. Also, it is interesting to hear that a settlement has been reached on Sydney Steel and Duferco. We are presently receiving numerous applications to the Millwright Local for membership which I feel is the result of all of the rumoured projects that are about to be announced involving offshore activities. The layoff of many mechanical personnel from Devco and Sydney Steel may also be contributing factors. The executive of the Local are presently looking at ways in which we can accommodate these tradespersons. Hopefully when the next newsletter is mailed out I will have all kinds of good news for our members. Should anyone have any concerns or questions relating to Union matters please contact me at 752-3176 or 759-1922 and I will do my best to have them answered for you. Fraternally yours
