Subject:
7th and 8th Grade Technology
My job is to teach you. I promise that I will do everything I can to ensure
that you obtain the best understanding of the topics and material that I will
require you to learn. This means that I will do my best to clear up
misunderstandings in front of the class, or with students individually.
You can expect that I will be fair with all policies that govern your academic
performance, or behavioral issues.
I am not your enemy, I am your teacher. I want you to succeed in my
classroom. Nobody wants to be the coach of a losing team, as I do not want
to be the teacher of a failing group of students. Please approach me if there
is something in the class that you feel is preventing you from getting the
education that you deserve. I will do everything I can to help you do well in
my classroom if you give in return that same effort. As a teacher, I will try
to make this class as enjoyable as possible because we are all in this
together.
This course is designed to lead students to understanding the fundamental
technological principles that are used in our everyday lives. We will
understand what technology is, how we (as a society) use it, why we use it,
and what future ambitions we have for it solving the problems in our everyday
lives.
