Question 1

Answer 1
No,there will not be homework every night, but there will be some one or two days each week. The homework assignments will be fully explained in class, I will write them on the homework board, I will put long-term assignments on the team calendar in the hallway, and I will put the assignments on my website under each specific class daily. Long-term assignments, tests, and quizzes will also be put on the "Calendar" section of this website. Test are announced at least a week in advance and quizzes at least two or three days in advance, depending on the type of quiz. If you don't understand the assignment even after I give it and explain it, ask questions in class or speak to me before you leave class so I can answer your specific question. If you have trouble with an assignment when you are at home, do the best you can and turn something in that shows you attempted the work. That way, you will receive credit for doing your homework, and I will be able to help you by looking at what you did do. **STUDYING IS HOMEWORK! Test and quizzes should be studied for in small, nightly sessions. Because I don't give daily homework, when I do assign it, in order to have a good homework average, it must be done on time. Because there are fewer homework grades than there would be if I gave it every day, receiving a "0" will have a big effect. *If you do miss your homework one day, it must be turned in the next day, you are not excused from doing it. You will receive a grade for the late work that you do.
Question 2

Answer 2
Yes, I strongly believe that hands-on work is important for many reasons. I do most projects during class time. Some are group projects, some are individual. For group projects, each student is graded strictly on his or her own contributions to the final product. They begin with a contract that spells out what they have agreed to do for their part of the assignment. How much they do and the quality of what they do will determine their final grade. Their grade will not ever depend upon the work anyone else does, so no one's grade will be "dragged down" or "uplifted" by someone else's efforts. I conference with the groups throughout the process and they are part of the final evaluations.
Question 3

Answer 3
Yes, please let me know if you are willing to share the world with the students. I will schedule a time and date at your convenience. There is nothing better than to hear from someone with first-hand knowledge of the world.
Question 4

Answer 4
Extra help is available whenever a student needs it. I will ask them to come in during Learning Center or after school on Tuesday or Thursday. They can request extra help at any time and I will schedule them as soon as possible.
