Instructional Philosophy

The class will consist of a combination of lectures, demonstrations and hands on applications. Students will be evaluated daily on how well they demonstrate the characteristics of an effective worker. It is understood that individual students entering the program will bring with them a variety of career interests, abilities and learning styles. Consequently, individual training plans will be developed for each student. The classroom is operated primarily with hands-on instructional approach, due to the need for students to learn concepts.

Grading Policies Employability Skills
It is up to the student to earn the grade. Not earning points is based on teacher observations of less-

than-professional behavior and poor attitude. Behavior and preparedness are monitored daily— moment by moment—the instructor reflects on this information, quantifies it, and incorporates it into the student’s grade. Each day is a new beginning; it provides a chance to build consistency and demonstrate personal and professional integrity. Behavior and attitude are monitored, measured, and recorded for a grade every day with each lesson attended, each task assigned, and each project completed to form a holistic picture of the student as a valuable employee.

Positive behavior and preparedness are an essential part of a student’s tenure at Auburn. The following situations will positively impact one’s employability skills and result in positive points

-Respect displayed towards fellow students and instructor

-Avoiding sleeping or appearing to be sleeping

-Refraining from swearing or inappropriate language

Course Policies

This program builds skills progressively and sequentially. Missing class time jeopardizes a student’s ability to complete various assignments and projects accurately, in the appropriate sequence, and on time.

Class participation and employability skills are important parts of this program. Grades are based in part on the following:

Code of Conduct

The published Code of Conduct for Auburn Career Center 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.

Attendance

The attendance/tardiness policy provided in the Student/Parent 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 are time-sensitive and cannot be made up.

Computer Usage

Auburn Career Center supports instruction through the use of computers, e-mail, software and other media. Auburn Career Center provides Internet access for use in classroom instruction and for project-based learning. The use of these tools is a privilege, not a right. Any student who violates the Acceptable Use Policy found in the Student/Parent Handbook may lose 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. Internet access and usage is monitored. Auburn e-mail accounts are monitored. Appropriate use of these accounts is determined by ACC policies.

Visibility of Student Identification Badges

Auburn Career Center is a full-service career center. Many people pass through the facility during the day. 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 referral for discipline.

Safety

Prevention of accidents is emphasized at all times in the lab and the classroom. Safety glasses will be worn at all times while working in the lab.

8

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 Main 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

Students are required to wear program-specific apparel. Standard daily dress for the PWT program is the black PWT polo shirt, black jeans, black socks, black steel-toed shoes, and the Auburn Career Center ID badge. All students are to be in full uniform daily.

Students are required to have and display on their person at all times an Auburn Career Center ID badge. This badge is provided free during the first week 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 duplicate ID badge is $5.00.

Students need to come to school clean and well groomed.

Classroom Entry – Attendance

Attendance is taken at the start of class. All students should be in their assigned seats 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. 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. 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 realize that mobile technology devices have their time and place and will utilize them given appropriate contexts. Students will abide by all policies stated in the Auburn Student Handbook and the Technology Agreement while at Auburn Career Center.

The PWT instructor/ACC administration reserve the right to make changes to this Syllabus as needed throughout the year.
