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 and Assignments 20% Tests and Quizzes 20%
Academy Core Class 40%

5

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 will 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. Grading policy is per the Student/Parent Handbook:

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. 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.

Safety

Completion of the CareerSafe OSHA 5-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.

6

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

Remain calm, explain the situation.

If there is no immediate answers, 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:
-CNT 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.

Classroom Entry – 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.

Classroom Exit – Dismissal

Students are dismissed by the Instructor, not the bell. Students are not to line up at the door, be in the hall, or leave the classroom or lab prior to dismissal by the teacher.

Mobile Technology Policy

Cell Phones, MP3 Players and other mobile devices are included in the definition of personal mobile technology. It is expected that students will realize that mobile technology devices have their time and place and will utilize them appropriately, as stated in this handbook while in the Computer Network Technology classroom/lab.

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.

Credential Earned

Students who successfully complete the CareerSafe OSHA 10-Hour course receive an OSHA 10-Hour General Industry wallet card from the OSHA Training Institute (OTI). As a result, they become more employable, gaining a competitive advantage in the job market.

Student Support Services:
•	Special Education Department: Intervention Specialist.
•	Student Services: Counseling and Career Development Services.
o You can make an appointment to see a counselor or recruitment specialist by visiting the Student Services office.

Symplicity

It is with great enthusiasm that I want to announce an opportunity for students to participate in an on-line job match software program. The online job match software, Symplicity, allows students to develop an online profile and to upload a resume and cover letter in order to apply for

10

employment. Once students choose to apply to job opportunities posted by local employers interested in Auburn students, those employers can contact students directly for interviews.

If you would prefer your son or daughter not to participate in our on-line job board or at in school job fairs, please contact the high school office or send in a note.
