Expectations:

My goal in science is to not only cover the state standards but to encourage students to become critical observers of the world around them.  The students must realize the activities we do have an academic purpose and it is critical that they read the content thoroughly, understand and complete the directions completely and use the appropriate vocabulary terms when writing and speaking.

Students should have their pencil, folder and textbook everyday.

Supplies:  pencil, highlighter, folder

Grading:

All work is assessed in some manner, for example it can discussed in a classroom setting or discussed one on one with the student or graded by the teacher and recorded on progressbook. Recorded grades are written on assignments as fractions.  Grades are taken on review sheets and labs.  I encourage the students to use their notes or textbook when completing these assignments.  Tests  are not open book. Late work will be accepted at half credit.

Classroom procedures:

 In order that all students in my classroom have an appropriate learning atmosphere, I believe that no actions should be permitted that would disrupt the learning or teaching process. When working independently or in small groups, I require the students to:

• • • Listen carefully  the first time rules or directions are given.

    • Have all papers and  supplies and be ready to work on time.

    • Move and speak in a manner that does not interrupt with teaching or learning

    • Show respect to oneself and others.

    • Contribute to the care and maintenance of the classroom and supplies.

When in doubt: Let common sense prevail! WWYPT  (What would your parents think?)

Discipline procedures:

I believe that if the students are engaged and challenged that classroom disruptions will be minimal. If a situation arises that requires disciplinary action, I will use the following steps:

• • • Verbal redirection

    • Conference with the student

    • Call to parents or guardian

    • Detention or loss of classroom privilege

    • Office referral
