Manufacturing Curriculum Pre– and Post-Assessments Aligned

In response to a need for employers to hire MSSC Safety Certified employees and an additional need to accelerate the training process, pre– and post-assessments as well as additional lesson resources have been created to be used in partnership with the state Manufacturing Contextualized Curriculum. The new supplemental lessons to the Manufacturing Curriculum ensure MSSC Safety concepts are addressed. These lessons can be found on the ICCB website with the original Manufacturing Bridge Curriculum under supplemental lessons fy14: http://64.107.108.133adulted.curriculum.manufacturing.html

The pre- and post-assessments consist of questions compiled to evaluate student readiness for the completion of the Manufacturing Skill Standards Council (MSSC) Certified Production Technician (CPTAE) Safety Certification work keys and the J. J. Keller’s OSHA Safety Training Handbook. Evaluators can use the questions as needed. It is recommended to use 20 to 25 questions for pre-assessment and 20 to 25 for post-assessment of students.  This allows for flexibility and for the rotation of assessment questions to avoid overuse. Based on assessment scores, decisions can be made about the readiness of students to test for the MSSC Safety Certification.

Join the creator of these materials, Bill Kuban of Prairie State College, at the annual adult education fall conferences to learn more and to receive copies of the materials.
