Culberson said students are pro– vided with the basic skills necessary to successfully enter a working en– vironment. The environment and equipment are parallel to area in– dustries and students not only learn skills involved to succeed but they also learn the "ways and hows" of the job. In other words, Culberson said students are " learning by do– ing." She said individualized, self-paced instruction taught in two to three– hour blocks is the format being us– ed in the program. "Learning is a step-by-step pro– cess. It is easier to learn a simple task and master it before moving on to the next step. Therefore, in the course of Industrial Sewing, the students' sewing operations have been analyzed, elements have been separated and students are separately taught each operation. When students are able to perform each element, the elements are combined so the student will learn the complete cycle," Mrs. Culberson said. The instruct~r said activities, pro– jects and production units under supervision are integrated into the program. "The program described is the method progressive companies are using to train their employees ; therefore, we simulate this method of training instead of performing live work as an objective or method of training,'' she said.
