High school students can also earn several college credits while attending Auburn Career Center.

4

In addition to earning academic credit toward graduation, students may earn the following certificates of achievement from Auburn Career Center.

➢ Honors
➢ Distinction ➢ Merit
➢ Completion

These certificates are placed in the student’s portfolio and awarded at the Auburn Completion Ceremony.
See APPENDIX for additional information on certificates.

Instructional Philosophy
In this program, students will be introduced to theory concepts in a classroom setting and hands on activities in a lab setting. Students will learn the related theory by listening to lectures, note taking, homework, research projects and reports, group activities and will be evaluated by quiz and test taking. Academics are a daily part of this course and include writing assignments and reports. Math skills are practiced on a regular basis and employability skills, such as, attendance, teamwork etc., are a daily reality. Homework assignments are expected to be turned in on time and are an important method of reinforcement of the current subject matter; they are not just busy work. In the lab, students will learn and practice the hands on skills needed to gain entry-level employment. Work sheets are also an important part of the laboratory experience and should be done on an individual basis without copying the answers from another student. The instructor, observing the students performing these activities, will do assessment.

Assessment Plan

Professionalism, safety, team-work, on task, participation, prepared, punctual, theory, quizzes, tests, homework, personal skills and lab work.

Grading Policies

Professionalism, Safety, team-work, on task, Participation, Prepared, Punctual, Theory, Quizzes, Tests, Homework, Personal Skills and Lab work

Note: Additional school rules may impact your grade.
Extra Credit work is available in limited amount, not to exceed 5% of total points. Late work, unless excused, is reduced by 50% on next day.
Grades will be computed weekly and available to the student on line.
You must maintain a passing grade in Lab & Related classes in order to pass each nine week grading periods. An F in either Lab or Related for a nine week grading period will result in a failing grade for both in that grading period. Industry standards require an employee to be punctual, dress in proper attire and be ready to work at the prescribed starting time, in order to perform His or Her job. All aspects of the job are required not just some in order to expect continuous employment. A dress code and uniform are part of the program and you must dress correctly every day.

Employability Skills

In Career and Technical Education student performance is looked at just as business/industry would look at an employee on the job. The quality of tasks completed, time required, participation, attitude and consistency of effort, etc. are considered employability skills and are all a part of one’s grade.

In addition to the guidelines presented in the Student/Parent Handbook, ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING PREP students have the opportunity to earn points, for employability skills.

It is up to the student to earn the grade. Not earning points is based on inappropriate behavior and teacher observations of behavior and attitude. Behavior and preparedness are an essential part of a student’s tenure at Auburn.

To earn employability points in class, students are to:

✓ Speak/Think Positively – Utilize outstanding communication skills ✓ Keeping excellent attendance – Be dressed and ready for class
✓ Follow Directions – Use computers, calculators or mobile devices in an appropriate manner ✓ Be a Team Player - Have tolerance, respect, and concern for others
✓ Demonstrate Excellent Work Ethic – Be in class, on time, ready to begin, focused on task at hand ✓ Uphold a Safe Environment - Operate and maintain equipment properly

Continual violation of the Employability Skills will result in a reduced course grade. Continuous violation of the Employability Skills will result in additional disciplinary action determined on a case by case basis.

NOTE:

The above expectations also extend to any other classes attended at Auburn Career Center and may affect your Interactive Multimedia Technology grade.

Course Assignments, Labs and Projects

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.

6

Absolutely no assignments will be accepted on torn out spiral notebook paper or assignments done in pencil. Assignments are due at the start of class. Late assignments will only be accepted with an excused absence.

Students can expect assignments on a regular basis. Projects of significant importance will be assigned throughout the year.

Course Policies

This course covers a large amount of material; therefore, late assignments will not be accepted. The only exception to this is if the student provides an excused absence that is verified by the High School office. Refer to the Student/Parent Handbook for more information.

This program is a program that builds upon skills. Missing class time will jeopardize a student’s ability to complete the various assignments and projects accurately and on time.

Class participation and employability skills are an extremely important part of this program.

Attendance

Attendance is taken at the start of class. All students should be in their assigned seat before the bell. Students not in their seats will be counted tardy or absent if not present. If you are tardy you must report to the Main Office and obtain an admit slip. If you miss some important information because you are late it is your responsibility to obtain that information. Lateness multiplies the time wasted waiting for you times the number of students who were punctual.	Excessive unexcused absences may result in disciplinary action. Refer to the Student/Parent Handbook for more information.

Safety
•	Tools are to be stored in a dry, secure location.
•	Students who operate power actuated tools are to be trained in their use. •	No food or drinks are allowed in the vicinity of the machines.
•	All worksites should be kept clean and orderly. •	Work areas should be properly illuminated.
•	The work area's ventilation system should be appropriate for the work being performed. •	Spilled materials or liquids must be cleaned up immediately.
•	Tools and equipment used by Students at their work station should be in good condition.
•	Report all work related accidents, injuries and illnesses to the instructor or safety coordinator.

Emergency Response

If there is an emergency in the lab or class room, inform the instructor. If the emergency involves the instructor, contact the reception 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.

7

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

Students will be required to wear program specific apparel.

Standard daily dress:

Class uniform, no shorts, proper shoes and hair under control.

Students are required to have and display on themselves at all times an Auburn Career Center ID badge, which is provided free during the first weeks of school. The Auburn ID badge must be clearly visible and presented upon request to any teacher, administrator, resource officer, or school personnel. If a student’s original badge is lost or stolen, a duplicate ID badge must be purchased. The fee for a replacement ID badge is $5.00.

Classroom Entry – Attendance

Attendance is taken at the start of class. All students should be in their assigned seat before the bell. Students not in their seats will be counted tardy or absent if not present. If you are tardy you must report to the Main Office and obtain an admit slip. If you miss some important information because you are late it is your responsibility to obtain that information. Lateness multiplies the time wasted waiting for you times the number of students who were punctual.	Excessive unexcused absences may result in disciplinary action. Refer to the Student/Parent Handbook for more information.

Classroom Exit – Dismissal

Students are dismissed by the Instructor, not the bell.

Mobile Technology Policy None allowed

Classroom Rules, Consequences and Rewards
1. Code of Conduct: The published Code of Conduct for Auburn Career Center found in the Student/Parent Handbook will be enforced at all times. Refer to the Handbook for discussion of due process of the Code and safety violations. Academic dishonesty will not be tolerated. Infractions will be dealt with according to established Auburn Career Center policy.

2. The attendance/tardiness policy provided in the handbook will be followed at all times. It is the responsibility of the student to make arrangements to make up any missed activity the day he/she returns to class. There are certain assignments that cannot be made up.

3. Computer usage: Auburn Career Center supports instruction through the use of computers, e-mail, software, and other media, and Internet access. The use of the tools is a privilege, not a right. Any student who violates the Acceptable Use Policy found in the Student/Parent Handbook may lose

8

their access to Auburn’s computers and network accounts. Notice to students who have access to digital audio and video recording equipment. Abuses of this equipment will not be tolerated.

In addition, students are expected to use computers and other media equipment at the designated time, and only for class assignments. Abuses may result in a loss of technology privileges.

Auburn e-mail accounts are monitored, and the use of them falls under ACC policies.

4. Auburn Career Center is a full-service career center. Many people pass through the facility during the day. Therefore it is important that students wear their student identification badges when in the building. Students who do not display an identification badge will be referred to the Main Office. Failure to wear an ID may result in loss of Employability Skills points and be referred for discipline.

Changes to the Syllabus: The Instructor/ACC Administration reserve the right to make changes to this Syllabus as needed throughout the year.
