Instructional Philosophy

Instruction is delivered through a variety of instruction including: lecture based, online/internet based, hands-on labs, student center inquiry based learning.

Assessment Plan

Grades will be determined by a Total Points method. Approximate weights are as follows:

Employability 20%
Class work, assignments, and projects 20% Tests and Quizzes 20%
Academy Core Class 40%

6

Grading Grading Scale

A	90-100 B	80-89 C	70-79 D	60-69
F	59 and below

Grading Policies

It is expected that students complete assignments on time. Assignments will be dropped one letter grade for each day that they are late. If an assignment is turned in more than four days late, it will be worth half credit.

Employability Skills

Employability includes attendance, work ethics, and class preparation. Students graded as an employee. Class uniform and Auburn Career Center Identification badge is a daily requirement. Grading policy is per the Student/Parent Handbook.

Course Assignments, Labs and Projects

Weekly plans along with information about assignments, labs, and projects are available on Schoology.

All assignments are to be word processed and are to include your name, class, assignment name, and assignment date in the upper left hand corner. No hand written assignments will be accepted unless prior permission has been given. Absolutely no assignments will be accepted on torn out spiral notebook paper or assignments done in pencil.

Late assignments will only be accepted with an excused absence.
Assignments are due by midnight on the day they are scheduled to be completed
Students can expect assignments on a regular basis. Projects of significant importance will be assigned throughout the year.

Course Policies Attendance

Attendance is taken at the start of class. All students should be in their assigned classroom/lab before the bell sounds. If you are tardy you must report to the High School Office and obtain an admit slip. Excessive unexcused absences may result in disciplinary action. Refer to the Student/Parent Handbook for more information

An unexcused absence will result in the loss of all employability points for that day. An unexcused tardy will result in a percentage of the employability points for that day depending upon the time of arrival.
If a student’s home school is not in session but Auburn Career Center is in session, it is highly suggested that the student attend Auburn; however, if the student does not, the student is responsible for the assigned work from the Technology Engineering & Design class.

Safety

Completion of the CareerSafe OSHA 10-Hour course is required before the actual lab work can begin in the class. Also a specific class safety test must be passed at 100% before lab work can begin.

Safety is always a concern. Safe practices will be in place at all time within the classroom and the lab.

Emergency Response

If there is an emergency in the lab or class room, inform the instructor. If the emergency involves the instructor, contact the main office by using the telephone in the Instructors office.

Pick up the phone and dial “0” for the Reception Office.

Remain calm, explain the situation.

If there is no immediate answer, send someone to the nearest classroom or office and notify an adult of the incident and request additional help by calling 911.

If the victim is conscious, it is best to have them lie still until qualified emergency response personnel arrive on the scene. Do not move a victim unless there is risk of additional immediate danger to them and you. You can cause additional severe injury by unnecessarily moving a victim.

There is the possibility of the victim going into a state of physiological shock -- a condition of insufficient blood circulation different from electrical shock -- and so they should be kept as warm and as comfortable as possible.

Program Apparel Standard daily dress:
-TED approved Polo shirt. Available in both a men’s and women’s style shirt.

-Full length pants. Jeans or Khaki style pants are acceptable. Pants must be in presentable condition. Extremely low cut, torn/ripped, are not acceptable.

CAREER SAFE PROGRAM/OSHA 10-HOUR GENERAL INDUSTRY TRAINING Description of Program

The OSHA Outreach Training Program for General Industry provides training for students, entry level workers, and employers on the recognition, avoidance, abatement, and prevention of safety and health hazards in workplaces in general industry. The program also provides information regarding workers' rights, employer responsibilities, and how to file a complaint. Through this training, OSHA helps to ensure that workers are more knowledgeable about workplace hazards and their rights. Each module contains a brief assessment, which must be successfully completed before the student can move on to the next module. Once all modules have been viewed and the corresponding assessments are passed, there is a comprehensive final assessment.

Purpose

The purpose of the program is to provide students with basic safety awareness training so they will be able to recognize, avoid and prevent safety and health hazards in the workplace. Young workers develop a safety mindset and acquire marketable skills for a competitive edge.
