Criminal Justice 1 & 2 meet in N107, which is on the first floor near the elevator on the north hallway. Throughout the year, the setup within the classroom will change depending upon the unit/topic each class is working on. Some areas and items within the classroom are for students, some areas and items can be accessed/used with permission from the instructor, and a few areas are always restricted from students access/use.
Students may access these areas and use items within them. They include student tables and chairs, as well as the student resource center. Borrowed Chromebook chargers, pens/pencils, and other resources should be neatly returned by the end of the class period.
Students may access these areas of the classroom with the instructor's permission. They include the supply cabinets, storage closet, mock crime scenes, and simulator area. Student may write on the whiteboard when given permission during class assignments/activities. The "living room" areas are restricted to students serving as Class Lieutenant.
Students may not enter these areas or use these items. They include the stairwell at the back of the classroom, the instructor's desk/filing cabinets, and the instructor's fridge and microwave. Under no circumstances should students touch the simulator screen, even when participating in simulator scenarios.
Criminal Justice 2 works with a mock crime scene during the Crime Scene Investigations unit. CJ1 students and CJ2 students not assigned to work within a mock crime scene are prohibited from entering the mock crime scene or interfering with any "walls" or physical evidence used in and around the mock crime scene. This protects the integrity of the scene for students who are working over several weeks to accurately photograph and measure physical evidence.
Students are assigned permanent seating charts and groups of peers to work with during the second week of school. Students are expect to sit in their assigned seats from bell to bell. Seats are only switched up if assignments or classroom management issues dictate a need for a change.
