  6. Assessments • Diagnostic • Formative 10% of standard percentage • Summative 90% of standard percentage • Assessments are aligned to learning targets, which are aligned to California State Standards

  7. Homework • Homework is assigned every Thursday and is due the following Thursday. • Homework includes: • Vocabulary- define and write a sentence for each word • Reading from text book and answer questions or complete an activity • Analyze current events and answer questions • Assignments will be given orally in class, posted on the homework board as well as on my class website, and made available on the homework hotline after 4:00 P.M.

  8. Late Assignments • All homework, vocabulary, and summative project assignments are given at least one week in advance. • For this reason, homework will only receive 50% the day after it was due, and not accepted after that, except in case of absence. • You can monitor homework completion through our parent and student gradebook application.

  9. Study Sessions • I offer a voluntary study session during lunch the day before the test. • Students can come to the study session with their study guides and any questions that they may have to help them feel more prepared for the test. • I also offer tutoring on Wednesdays for any students who would like help.

  10. Goal Setting Contract • Students are asked to fill out a learning contract each trimester in order to encourage goal setting and personal responsibility. • Students choose 3 goals to strive to achieve prior to the end of each trimester. • They also choose what their reward will be if they reach all 3 goals.

  11. Discipline Policy • Steps: 1. Students will receive a verbal warning 2. Students will be asked to step outside and regain their ability to behave 3. Students will receive a school detention 4. Students will receive a teacher detention and or call home 5.
