Homework Policy
Students will occasionally be assigned homework in art. This will include idea development and skill building tasks not completed during class; and "field work", which usually involves searching for a source (photo, story, word, etc) to use during the planning stages of art making. Students are expected to have homework/field work ready to submit on due dates. Late work is accepted up until one week after the unit has concluded. Late work is noted in the grade book, but affects only the Student Skills Standard evaluation related to "Activity Completion". All other Standards will be evaluated without penalty, as if the work was submitted on time. It is more important to complete the work late, than not at all.
CHAMPS
CHAMPS is a school-wide system promoting a positive and proactive approach to classroom management. Students are taught behavior and response expectations for each activity in art. Posted below are expectations for 4 activities used in the Art room. Student Skills Standard related to "Citizenship" is heavily influenced by one's response to CHAMPS expectations. The school-wide CHAMPS acronym is as follows:
C = Conversation: Volume Level -
0 = no talking; 1 = whisper; 2 = table conversation; 3 = presenting H = Help: What does student do to get help?
A = What is the activity/activity's purpose?
M = Movement: Can/should student move?
P = Participation: How does student show participation?
S = Success!
CHAMPS - Whole Group
C = 0 (zero) – No talking, no sounds. Quiet hands and feet
H = Raise hand to ask question or comment. Ask question or comment at volume level 3
A = Listening to instruction; thinking & learning
