Program Philosophy
The Cabinetmaking program at McCann Tech is designed to provide students with the
knowledge and training they need to work in the very varied field of cabinet and
furniture design and construction, sign and picture frame construction, theatrical and
museum construction, and finish carpentry. Students are encouraged to be productive
by being accountable for the focused use of their work time. They are expected to be
responsible with the equipment and materials and to be respectful of their class
members and teachers.
A fundamental principle of the program is the use of creative opportunities to
encourage the ability to design and problem-solve, to enhance the students’ view of
themselves as competent people, and to expand their view of the range of possibilities
for them in the larger world. This is accomplished through curriculum projects and our
opportunities to collaborate with the many artistic and cultural organizations in our
community.
Mathematical literacy is also emphasized, both as a basis for high level work in the field
and as a skill needed to live a well-ordered life.
Students alternate between individual and team work, to maximize both the ability to
challenge themselves and to work productively with others.

Program Description
The Cabinetmaking program is driven by the use of the tools and machines of the trade
and the basic and advanced skills needed to perform well in a wide range of
employment opportunities. Students are individually evaluated at all shop-based
machines and hand held tools, including a CNC router. All students achieve the
validation to use all of the machines in our shop.
Basic cabinetmaking skills are practiced on seven projects accomplished by the middle
of the sophomore year. Those choosing to go on to Advanced Cabinetmaking,
research and produce projects in the Shaker and Mission Oak styles, design and
execute CNC projects, design and construct pieces that have beautified every corner of
our school, and participate in innumerable community service projects.
We have applied for Chapter 74 approval and our program reflects the Cabinetmaking
VTE Frameworks which was presented to our Advisory Board for validation in Fall 2005.
Cabinetmaking students are eligible to participate in our work-based co-op program and
are appreciated by employers for their understanding of the details and their focus on
producing high quality work.

Program Syllabus
The organization of the program is based on instruction on individual tools and
machines with a focus on demonstrating an understanding of the issues involved in the
set-ups made to produce woodworking projects. The projects in Basic Cabinetmaking
each combine several machines and tools and several cabinetmaking techniques (such
as veneering, plug installation, building with rabbets, dados, box joints, mortise and
tenon, and construction of Cabriole legs).
Students are highly motivated to tackle the lessons due to the fact that they get to take
these projects home. The praises that they receive from other students, family and
friends, clearly impact their interest in the work.
Advanced Cabinetmaking students move on to work on the CNC router, advanced
cabinetmaking techniques (such as pocket cutting, dovetails, spline construction, and
lathe work), and research and presentation of topics related to the history of design and
style, with accompanying projects.
An integrated math curriculum (covering topics from basic math, algebra, geometry and
trigonometry) has been tailor-made to accompany the curriculum projects. Math and
measurement activities are done daily for freshmen and sophomores. Juniors and
seniors alternate between theory and math.
The culmination of our work is the design and construction of our Senior projects.
Approved projects are challenging and the result is very impressive.
There are two other parallel themes in the program. One is the evolution from one-at-a
Cook, 6/1/06, grades 9-12, page 4
time verbal and illustrated instructions, through a string of instructions, to written plans,
and finally to the writing of one’s own plans (Plan of Procedure).
The other theme is the support of the courage to be creative. Whether students are in
Basic Cabinetmaking (includes all those enrolled in the carpentry shop) or Advanced
Cabinetmaking, they are all encouraged to personalize their projects in creative ways.
A wide range of available materials and a well-functioning finishing room facilitate this.
A palpable sense of accomplishment and activity permeates the program.
All aspects of the program are assessed on a daily or weekly basis:

Time card grading focuses on attendance, productivity, quality of work,
preparedness, safety record, cooperation and persistence with assigned work.
Numerical grades and comments are returned on the following Monday for the
student’s signature.
Math assignments are given three to five days a week. Grades are numerical.
Projects are evaluated by a rubric that itemizes the skills incorporated into the
piece and gives varying weight to the importance of that skill to the outcome of
the project. For example, the first project in Basic Cabinetmaking is evaluated on
the quality of the sanding, plug trimming, glue application, stain and polyurethane
application, and the measurement required for an accurate assembly. All
projects are evaluated directly with the individual student and include a
discussion of the student’s view of the quality of her/his work.
Theory assignments are given weekly to Advanced Cabinetmaking students.
These include chapters from our textbook, Modern Cabinetmaking, with handson activities whenever feasible, and research assignments on topics that reflect
our community history and the connection between design and changes in
lifestyle.
Safety evaluations on all machines are also done by a rubric and signed by the
student.
Depending upon the number of projects in the marking period and the number of theory
and math assignments, the weights of these grades on the progress report or quarter
grade vary for each course.

Significant Points
About one-third of all carpenters——the largest construction trade——were selfemployed.
Job opportunities should be excellent for those with the most training and allround skills.
To become a skilled carpenter usually takes between 3 and 4 years of both onthe-job training and classroom instruction.
Nature of the Work
Carpenters are involved in many different kinds of construction activity, from the building
of highways and bridges, to the installation of kitchen cabinets. Carpenters construct,
erect, install, and repair structures and fixtures made from wood and other materials.
Depending on the type of work and the employer, carpenters may specialize in one or
two activities or may be required to know how to perform many different tasks. Small
home builders and remodeling companies may require carpenters to learn about all
aspects of building a house——framing walls and partitions, putting in doors and
windows, building stairs, installing cabinets and molding, and many other tasks. Large
construction contractors or specialty contractors, however, may require their carpenters
to perform only a few regular tasks, such as framing walls, constructing wooden forms
for pouring concrete, or erecting scaffolding. Carpenters also build tunnel bracing, or
brattices, in underground passageways and mines to control the circulation of air
through the passageways and to worksites.
Each carpentry task is somewhat different, but most involve the same basic steps.
Working from blueprints or instructions from supervisors, carpenters first do the layout—
—measuring, marking, and arranging materials——in accordance with local building
codes. They cut and shape wood, plastic, fiberglass, or drywall using hand and power
tools, such as chisels, planes, saws, drills, and sanders. They then join the materials
with nails, screws, staples, or adhesives. In the final step, carpenters check the
accuracy of their work with levels, rules, plumb bobs, framing squares, or electronic
versions of these tools, and make any necessary adjustments. When working with
prefabricated components, such as stairs or wall panels, the carpenter’’s task is
somewhat simpler because it does not require as much layout work or the cutting and
assembly of as many pieces. Prefabricated components are designed for easy and fast
installation and generally can be installed in a single operation.
Carpenters who remodel homes and other structures need a broad range of carpentry
skills because they must be able to perform any of the many different tasks these jobs
may require. Since they are so well-trained, these carpenters often can switch from
residential building to commercial construction or remodeling work, depending on which
offers the best work opportunities.
Carpenters employed outside the construction industry perform a variety of installation
and maintenance work. They may replace panes of glass, ceiling tiles, and doors, as
well as repair desks, cabinets, and other furniture. Depending on the employer,
carpenters install partitions, doors, and windows; change locks; and repair broken
furniture. In manufacturing firms, carpenters may assist in moving or installing
machinery. (For more information on workers who install machinery, see the discussion
of millwrights as well as industrial machinery installation, repair, and maintenance
workers, except millwrights, elsewhere in the Handbook.)
Working Conditions
As is true of other building trades, carpentry work is sometimes strenuous. Prolonged
standing, climbing, bending, and kneeling often are necessary. Carpenters risk injury
working with sharp or rough materials, using sharp tools and power equipment, and
working in situations where they might slip or fall. Although many carpenters work
indoors, those that work outdoors are subject to variable weather conditions.
Some carpenters change employers each time they finish a construction job. Others
alternate between working for a contractor and working as contractors themselves on
small jobs, depending on where the work is available.
Training, Other Qualifications, and Advancement
Carpenters learn their trade through formal and informal training programs. To become
a skilled carpenter usually takes between 3 and 4 years of both classroom and on-thejob training. While there are a number of different ways to obtain this training, in
general, the more formalized the process, the more skilled you will become, and the
more in demand by employers. For some, this training can begin in a high school,
where classes in English, algebra, geometry, physics, mechanical drawing, blueprint
reading, and general shop are recommended. After high school, there are a number of
different avenues that one can take to obtain the necessary training. One of the ways is
to obtain a job with a contractor who will then provide on-the-job training. Entry-level
workers generally start as helpers, assisting more experienced workers. During this
time, the carpenter’’s helper may elect to attend a trade or vocational school, or
community college to receive further trade-related training.
Some employers, particularly large nonresidential construction contractors with union
membership, offer employees formal apprenticeships. These programs combine on-thejob training with related classroom instruction. Apprenticeship applicants usually must
be at least 18 years old and meet local requirements; some union locals, for example,
test an applicant’’s aptitude for carpentry. Apprenticeship programs are usually 3 to 4
years in length, but vary with the apprentice’’s skill. The number of apprenticeship
programs is limited, however, so only a small proportion of carpenters learn their trade
through these programs, mostly those working for commercial and industrial building
contractors.
On the job, apprentices learn elementary structural design and become familiar with
common carpentry jobs, such as layout, form building, rough framing, and outside and
inside finishing. They also learn to use the tools, machines, equipment, and materials of
the trade. Apprentices receive classroom instruction in safety, first aid, blueprint
reading, freehand sketching, basic mathematics, and various carpentry techniques.
Both in the classroom and on the job, they learn the relationship between carpentry and
the other building trades.
Some persons aiming for carpentry careers choose to obtain their classroom training
before seeking a job. There are a number of public and private vocational-technical
schools and training academies affiliated with the unions and contractors that offer
training to become a carpenter. Employers often look favorably upon these students
and usually start them at a higher level than those without the training.
Some skills needed to become a carpenter include manual dexterity, eye-hand
coordination, physical fitness, and a good sense of balance. The ability to solve
arithmetic problems quickly and accurately also is required. In addition, a good work
history or military service is viewed favorably by contractors.
Carpenters usually have greater opportunities than most other construction workers to
become general construction supervisors because carpenters are exposed to the entire
construction process. For those who would like to advance, it is increasingly important
to be able to communicate in both English and Spanish in order to relay instructions and
safety precautions to workers with limited understanding of English; Spanish-speaking
workers make up a large part of the construction workforce in many areas. Carpenters
may advance to carpentry supervisor or general construction supervisor positions.
Others may become independent contractors. Supervisors and contractors need good
communication skills to deal with clients and subcontractors, should be able to identify
and estimate the quantity of materials needed to complete a job, and accurately
estimate how long a job will take to complete and at what cost.
Employment
Carpenters are employed throughout the country in almost every community and make
up the largest building trades occupation. They held about 1.3 million jobs in 2004.
About one-third worked in building construction and about one-fifth worked for special
trade contractors. Most of the rest of the wage and salary workers worked for
manufacturing firms, government agencies, retail establishments and a wide variety of
other industries. About one-third of all carpenters were self-employed.
Job Outlook
Job opportunities for carpenters are expected to be excellent over the 2004-14 period,
particularly for those with the most skills. Employment of carpenters is expected to
increase about as fast as average for all occupations through 2014, and turnover also
creates a large number of openings each year. Contractors report having trouble finding
skilled carpenters to fill many of their openings, due in part to the fact that many
jobseekers are not inclined to go into construction, preferring work that is less strenuous
with more comfortable working conditions. Also, many people with limited skills take
jobs as carpenters but eventually leave the occupation because they dislike the work or
cannot find steady employment.
The need for carpenters is expected to grow as construction activity increases in
response to demand for new housing, office and retail space, and for modernizing and
expanding schools and industrial plants. A strong home remodeling market also will
create a large demand for carpenters.
Some of the demand for carpenters, however, will be offset by expected productivity
gains resulting from the increasing use of prefabricated components and improved
fasteners and tools. Prefabricated wall panels, roof assemblies and stairs and pre-hung
doors and windows can be installed very quickly. Instead of having to be built on the
worksite, prefabricated walls, partitions, and stairs can be lifted into place in one
operation; beams——and, in some cases, entire roof assemblies——are lifted into
place using a crane. As prefabricated components become more standardized, builders
will use them more often. In addition, improved adhesives are reducing the time needed
to join materials, and lightweight, cordless, and pneumatic tools——such as nailers and
drills——will all continue to make carpenters more efficient. New and improved tools,
equipment, techniques, and materials also have vastly increased carpenter versatility.
Carpenters with all-round skills will have better opportunities for steady work than
carpenters who can perform only a few relatively simple, routine tasks. Carpenters can
experience periods of unemployment because of the short-term nature of many
construction projects, winter slowdowns in construction activity in northern areas, and
the cyclical nature of the construction industry. During economic downturns, the number
of job openings for carpenters declines. Building activity depends on many factors that
vary with the state of the economy——interest rates, availability of mortgage funds,
government spending, and business investment.
Cook, 6/1/06, grades 9-12, page 10
Job opportunities for carpenters also vary by geographic area. Construction activity
parallels the movement of people and businesses and reflects differences in local
economic conditions. The areas with the largest population increases will also provide
the best job opportunities for carpenters and apprenticeship opportunities for persons
seeking to enter carpentry.
Earnings
In May 2004, median hourly earnings of carpenters were $16.78. The middle 50 percent
earned between $12.91 and $22.62. The lowest 10 percent earned less than $10.36,
and the highest 10 percent earned more than $28.65.
Earnings can be reduced on occasion, because carpenters lose worktime in bad
weather and during recessions when jobs are unavailable.
Some carpenters are members of the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of
America.
Related Occupations
Carpenters are skilled construction workers. Other skilled construction occupations
include brickmasons, blockmasons, and stonemasons; cement masons, concrete
finishers, segmental pavers, and terrazzo workers; electricians; pipelayers, plumbers,
pipefitters, and steamfitters; and plasterers and stucco masons.

Course Philosophy
The grade 9 Cabinetmaking program at McCann Tech is designed to provide a
transition from middle school academic studies to learning through project-based work
in a professional woodworking shop. We concentrate on gearing up for workplace
behavior, which includes time on task, time management to meet deadlines, respect for
others in the work environment, appropriate care of equipment, and ownership of the
product.
Materials are provided to encourage students to create unique projects and to begin
the process of learning to design woodworking pieces.
Mathematical literacy is addressed through a curriculum that reviews basic math skills
and applies these skills to our projects.
Course Description
The organization of the program is based on instruction on individual tools and
machines with a focus on demonstrating an understanding of the issues involved in the
set-ups made to produce woodworking projects. The projects in Basic Cabinetmaking
each combine several machines and tools and several cabinetmaking techniques (such
as veneering, plug installation, building with rabbets, dados, and box joints).
Students are highly motivated to tackle the lessons due to the fact that they get to take
these projects home. The praises that they receive from other students, family and
friends, clearly impact their interest in the work.
Cook, 6/1/06, grade 9, page 2
Course Syllabus and Instructional Activities
The 9th grade course is a project-based learning experience that also includes an
integrated math curriculum (covering topics from basic math, algebra, geometry and
trigonometry), which has been tailor-made to accompany the curriculum projects. Math
and measurement activities are done daily for freshmen.
There are two other parallel themes in the program. One is the evolution from one-at-atime verbal and illustrated instructions, through a string of instructions, to written plans.
The other theme is the support of the courage to be creative. Students in
Basic Cabinetmaking (includes all those enrolled in the carpentry shop)
are all encouraged to personalize their projects in creative ways. A wide range of
available materials and a well-functioning finishing room facilitate this.
All aspects of the program are assessed on a daily or weekly basis:
►
►
►
►
Time card grading focuses on attendance, productivity, quality of work,
preparedness, safety record, cooperation and persistence with assigned
work. Numerical grades and comments are returned on the following
Monday for the student’s signature.
Math assignments are given three to five days a week. Grades are
numerical.
Projects are evaluated by a rubric that itemizes the skills incorporated into
the piece and gives varying weight to the importance of that skill to the
outcome of the project. For example, the first project in Basic
Cabinetmaking is evaluated on the quality of the sanding, plug trimming,
glue application, stain and polyurethane application, and the measurement
required for an accurate assembly. All projects are evaluated directly with
the individual student and include a discussion of the student’s view of the
quality of her/his work. (See Resources for sample rubrics).
Safety evaluations on all machines are also done by a rubric and signed by
the student. (See Resources for sample rubrics).
Cook, 6/1/06, grade 9, page 3
Depending upon the number of projects in the marking period and the number of theory
and math assignments, the weights of these grades on the progress report or quarter
grade vary for each course. Progress report and quarter grades fall into the following
range:
95 - 99
90 - 94
80 - 89
70 - 79
65 - 69
below 65
Highly skilled and productive
Advanced, all work complete
Good quality work, all work complete
Acceptable quality of work, all projects complete, a missing
math or theory assignment
Quality of work needs significant improvement, some missing
assignments
Incomplete projects, assignment owing
In general, students participate at a high level of involvement. It is rare for projects to be
incomplete.

North Adams, MA 01247
Nancy Cook
Cabinetmaking Instructor
Cook, 3/1/10, grade 10, page 1
Course Philosophy
Grade 10 Cabinetmaking students are expected to work more independently.
Instructions are now given in written form, as well as verbally and by demonstration.
Set-ups at machines are designed and made by students, rather than by the teacher.
Instructions are strung together, rather than given individually.
At mid-year, students choose to go on to Advanced Cabinetmaking or Carpentry. They
specialize in one or the other for the duration of their time at McCann. Tenth graders in
Advanced Cabinetmaking are evaluated at additional tools and procedures, but now
design their own projects.
Course Description
The organization of the program is based on instruction on individual tools and
machines with a focus on demonstrating an understanding of the issues involved in the
set-ups made to produce woodworking projects. The projects in Basic Cabinetmaking
each combine several machines and tools and several cabinetmaking techniques (such
as mortise and tenon, raised panels and construction of Cabriole legs).
At the start of the second term, students choosing Advanced Cabinetmaking (as
opposed to Carpentry), move on to work on Advanced Cabinetmaking techniques (such
as pocket cutting, dovetails, spline construction, and lathe work), and research and
presentation of topics related to the history of design and style.
Cook, 6/1/06, grade 10, page2
Course Syllabus and Instructional Activities
An integrated math curriculum (covering topics from basic math, algebra, geometry and
trigonometry) has been tailor-made to accompany the curriculum projects. Math and
measurement activities are done daily for sophomores. Students also begin integrated
projects in research and presentation.
There are two other parallel themes in the program. One is the evolution from one-at-a
time verbal and illustrated instructions, through a string of instructions and written
plans.
The other theme is the support of the courage to be creative. Whether students are in
Basic Cabinetmaking (includes all those enrolled in the carpentry shop) or Advanced
Cabinetmaking, they are all encouraged to personalize their projects in creative ways.
A wide range of available materials and a well-functioning finishing room facilitate this.
A palpable sense of accomplishment and activity permeates the program.
Cook, 6/1/06, grade 10, page 2
All aspects of the program are assessed on a daily or weekly basis:
►
Time card grading focuses on attendance, productivity, quality of work,
preparedness, safety record, cooperation and persistence with assigned
work. Numerical grades and comments are returned on the following
Monday for the student’s signature.
►
Math assignments are given three to five days a week. Grades are
numerical.
►
Projects are evaluated by a rubric that itemizes the skills incorporated into
the piece and gives varying weight to the importance of that skill to the
outcome of the project. For example, the first project in Basic
Cabinetmaking is evaluated on the quality of the sanding, plug trimming,
glue application, stain and polyurethane application, and the measurement
required for an accurate assembly. All projects are evaluated directly with
the individual student and include a discussion of the student’s view of the
quality of her/his work. (See Resources for sample rubrics.)
►
Theory assignments are given weekly to Advanced Cabinetmaking
students. These include chapters from our textbook, Modern
Cabinetmaking, with hands-on activities whenever feasible, and research
assignments on topics that reflect our community history and the
connection between design and changes in lifestyle.
►
Safety evaluations on all machines are also done by a rubric and signed
by the student. (See Resources for sample rubrics).
Depending upon the number of projects in the marking period and the number of theory
and math assignments, the weights of these grades on the progress report or quarter
grade vary for each course. Progress report and quarter grades fall into the following
range:
95 - 99
90 - 94
80 - 89
70 - 79
65 - 69
below 65
Highly skilled and productive
Advanced, all work complete
Good quality work, all work complete
Acceptable quality of work, all projects complete, a missing
math or theory assignment
Quality of work needs significant improvement, some
missing assignments
Incomplete projects, assignment owing
In general, students participate at a high level of involvement. It is rare for projects to be
incomplete.

Cook, 3/1/11, grade 11, page 1
Course Philosophy
The grade 11 course builds in the areas of project design, independence of work, and
the complexity of the hands-on activities that accompany theory assignments.
Students take on leadership roles in the community service projects done with
sophomores. Research projects now involve PowerPoint presentations and provide
experience that gives students more confidence to present work to an audience.
Course Description
The organization of the program is based on continuing on the path of more advanced
work (such as pocket cutting, dovetails, spline construction), moving on
to work on the CNC router, and extending integrated work with English language arts in
research and presentation of topics related to the history of design and style, with
accompanying projects. Theory assignments help to prepare for the drawings, Plan of
Procedure, and Bill of Materials that accompany Senior Projects in the following year.

Course Philosophy
The goals of the year involve the preparation to make the transition to college
(for most Cabinetmaking students), to the military , or directly into the workplace. We
emphasize the process of the Senior Project as skill-building for taking on active roles
in any of the career choices made by our students. Seniors also assist with
supervisory roles with Cabinetmaking freshmen.
Course Description
Grade 12 Advanced Cabinetmaking students spend most of the year designing,
problem-solving, producing drawings used in industry, and constructing their Senior
Projects. They also design, produce, and install a project for our school.
Cook, 6/1/06, grade 12, page 2
Course Syllabus and Instructional Activities
The culmination of our program is the design and construction of our Senior projects.
From approval through drawings to scale, writing of the Plan of Procedure and Bill of
Materials, construction, and preparation for the presentation, the Senior Project takes 8
months to complete. Approved projects are really challenging and the results are very
impressive.
All aspects of the program are assessed on a daily or weekly basis:
►
►
Time card grading focuses on attendance, productivity, quality of work,
preparedness, safety record, cooperation and persistence with assigned
work. Numerical grades and comments are returned on the following
Monday for the student’s signature.
Theory assignments are given weekly to Advanced Cabinetmaking
students. These include chapters from our textbook, Modern
Cabinetmaking, with hands-on activities whenever feasible, and research
assignments on topics that reflect our community history and the
connection between design and changes in lifestyle.
The Senior Project counts as a fifth marking period for the year and is divided in the
following way:
20% Plan of Procedure outline due by the end of December
Cabinet, multi-view elevations and isometric drawings due by the end of
December
60% Construction of project
20% Presentation of project - includes PowerPoint presentation and address to
50 -60 classmates, underclassmen, teachers, parents, and advisory board
members
(See Resources for sample rubrics for the Senior Project).
Cook, 6/1/06, grade 12 , page 3
Progress report and quarter grades fall into the following range:
95 - 99
Highly skilled and productive
90 - 94
Advanced, all work complete
80 - 89
Good quality work, all work complete
70 - 79
Acceptable quality of work, all projects complete, a missing
math or theory assignment
65 - 69
Quality of work needs significant improvement, some
missing assignments
below 65
Incomplete projects, assignment owing
In general, students participate at a high level of involvement. It is rare for projects to be
incomplete.
