As a CTE (Career & Technical Education) Teacher, one of the things I emphasize in my classroom is helping students prepare for post-secondary success. In all of my classes, the employability skill -- ability to meet deadlines -- is emphasized. As such, the following late work policies apply: 

For daily assignments:

• Assignments & projects not completed by the due date may be turned in late without penalty. However, all late work will be penalized for failure to demonstrate "employability skills." 

For projects: 

• Each project will have 2 separately graded components:

  1. How well the project demonstrates mastery of the content and includes the required components. 

  2. Whether or not the project met the deadline or other assessed employability skills. This component is worth 10 points for projects and 5 points for daily assignments - students will receive 10/10 if their project was completed by the due date and 0/10 if their project was not completed by the due date. This grade is separate from the actual project score; this grade will not be improved even if the project is turned in late. 

Other employability skills are focused on more specifically in certain classes -- see each class' website for more specific information on what employability skills are focused on and that students are held accountable for.
