School__________________________________________________Instructor____________________________________________
Course Description: This course introduces the student to the knowledge base and technical skills for Basic AC circuits. Areas of
study include alternating current, circuit evaluation, magnetic and electromagnetic devices. Emphasis will be placed on career
exploration, job seeking skills, and personal and professional ethics. Safety instruction is integrated into all activities. Students will
utilize problem-solving techniques and participate in laboratory activities to develop an understanding of course concepts and teachers
should provide each student with real world learning opportunities and instruction related to Electronic Technology occupations.
Students are encouraged to become active members of SkillsUSA for additional co-curricular opportunities that enhance student
achievement, develop student leadership, and support experiential learning. Course components also address the 21st Century
Learning Skills and Technology Tools. All West Virginia teachers are responsible for classroom instruction that integrates learning skills,
technology tools, and content standards and objectives.
Level of Competence:
 Above Mastery: The student demonstrates exceptional and exemplary performance with distinctive and sophisticated
application of knowledge and skills that exceed standard. The student can independently solve problems and is self-directed.

Mastery: The student demonstrates competent and proficient performance and shows a thorough and effective application of
knowledge and skills that meet standard. Application of knowledge and skills is thorough and effective and the student can work
independently.

Partial Mastery: The student demonstrates basic but inconsistent performance of fundamental knowledge and skills
characterized by errors and/or omissions. Performance needs further development and supervision.
