Presentation Transcript

  1. Contact Information • Ms. Brandilyn Beu • The School of Arts and Enterprise • Room 202 • Phone Number: (909) 622-0699 x 304 • E-mail: bbeu@thesae.k12.ca.us • Website: www.thesae.org • Tutor Hours: Tuesday and Wednesday, After school and Before school.

  2. Chemistry: Learning Goals • To develop competence in the field of Chemistry by mastering California State Chemistry Standards. • Exhibit critical and creative thinking skills in problem solving. • Demonstrate cooperation and teamwork as they involve themselves in hands-on activities that relate to the lesson. • To see the importance of the study of Chemistry and the application of its concepts in the world of arts and enterprise.

  3. Mastery Learning • The SAE has adopted the Mastery Learning model of standards-based grading. This means that students are evaluated based on specific standards (things students need to know and be able to do), rather than on a point system. Students will no longer be given “points” towards their final grade for completing work or simply participating. A student must demonstrate their knowledge and abilities on a variety of different assessments (quizzes, oral quizzes, discussions, tests, essays, reports, speeches, projects, presentations, portfolios), and all of the standards the students demonstrated in each assessment are evaluated separately on a 4-point rubric (4=Advanced, 3=Proficient, 2=Basic, 1=Below Basic). This allows students to easily see which concepts they understand and can put to use (mastery of a standard) and on which concepts they need more practice and instruction.

  4. Chemistry Gradebook • Please see letter. • Gradebook is used for recordkeeping in addition to actual grades. • Therefore, many assignments are not actually counting towards the student’s final grade.

  5. Sample Chemistry Grade

  6. ENCORE • Independent Practice is required. • If homework is not completed, students will be assigned to mandatory homework time in Encore.

  7. Supplies Required Supplies: Binder Five Dividers (Labeled “Class Notes”“Independent Practice”“Lab Reports”“Tests and Quizzes”“Miscellaneous”) Spiral Notebook Black or blue pens Red pens Pencils Lined paper

  8. Laboratory Expectations • Students are required to have a Safety Contract signed and to pass a Safety Quiz. • For each lab, students are expected to: • Behave responsibly • Wear closed-toed shoes • Tie back long hair • Keep skin exposure to a minimum • Follow all directions

  9. Why could my student not be allowed to do a lab? Student did not complete the required safety test. Student did not complete the required pre-lab (purpose, hypothesis, procedure). Student is not wearing the proper attire (closed toed shoes, long hair pulled back, exposed skin minimized).

  10. Technology Policy • In accordance with school policy, cell phone use is NOT permitted in class. • First Offense: Cell phone, iPod, etc. will be confiscated and kept to be picked up after school. • Subsequent Offenses: Cell phone, iPod, etc. will be confiscated and only returned to a parent/guardian.
