On an actual work site under supervision, you will operate an excavator to perform construction tasks and will learn and practice basic skills. You will perform daily safety inspection and routine maintenance on the machine and will have opportunity to operate and to observe on the machine.
On an actual work site under supervision, you will operate a motor grader to perform construction tasks and will learn and practice basic skills. You will perform daily safety inspection and routine maintenance on the machine and will have opportunity to operate and to observe on the machine.
Simulators combine the finest technology and operator instruction to create cutting-edge training. Realistic controls ensure familiarization and muscle memory using the same hardware as in the actual machine. Each training exercise measures and records the simulation sessions so you can see the results.
Learn proper safety procedures on the site such as required personal protective equipment, hand signals and safe use and storage of fluids. Perform routine safety inspections and maintenance checks such as checking fluid levels, brakes, tires and tracks.
In response to industry requirements for an entry-level safety orientation for the construction industry, the Saskatchewan Construction Safety Association has developed the SCOT Training course. Certification is only valid in Saskatchewan. NOTE: This training was formerly known as the Saskatchewan CSTS (Construction Safety Training System)
You will demonstrate your ability to build positive and responsive relationships with children and adults. You will use your observation skills to plan and prepare a culturally relevant emergent curriculum based on children’s interests and family engagement.
You will use knowledge and skills developed in prerequisite courses to observe and record the behaviour of children, to interact with children and adults in a supportive and positive manner, and to guide children’s behaviour using positive guidance strategies.
You will examine the strategies of developmentally appropriate child guidance. You will learn about the importance of building relationships and establishing trust prior to guiding behaviour. You will practice techniques that support children while encouraging a co-operative attitude, a sense of autonomy and a positive self-image. Your studies will also explore Indigenous traditional practices of modelling and storytelling as a guidance technique.
You will examine the development and characteristics of school age children. This course focuses on the unique role of the educator, childcare issues distinctive to this age and the curriculum that can be designed to accommodate them.
You will acquire skills in observing and documenting children’s play and development as a foundation for responsive programming.
