Scenarios are an excellent way to help students learn skills and apply them to everyday life. Especially in our vocational program, we use scenarios quite often. Horticulture is learned in a greenhouse environment. Those students also care for the lawn and gardens surrounding the school. Small electronics are learned by working on broken microwave ovens, televisions and radios. The electronics teacher has a collaborative project with Goodwill Industries.  The Goodwill truck delivers broken donations to the prison; the students learn as they repair the toasters, VCR’s, radios and, blenders.  Goodwill then is able to sell the repaired items rather than throw them away. Culinary arts students prepare luncheons.  The automotive students repair and service staff members’ cars.  The students in Construction Trades assist with repairs throughout the institution, build custom furniture, and work on projects for Habitat for Humanity.
