COMPUTER CLASS SYLLABUS

I am committed to creating a positive, open environment where students feel comfortable learning and asking questions. I am committed to doing everything I can do to help a willing student succeed in my class. I will respect your child’s individual personality and learning needs.

Standards/NETS for Class

CLASS DESCRIPTIONS:

Computer classes at the middle school level are designed to learn basic computer skills that will provide a good foundation for living and working in the information age. The emphasis will be on basic computer skills, problem solving, and reading/following directions.

COURSE REQUIREMENTS:

1. Completing assignments in a timely manner by the end of the grading period.

2. Completing assignments to the best of one’s ability

3. Saving and locating files in the student’s individual network account

GRADING:

We are a Standards Based Grading school. In addition to assessing the National Technology Standards, work habits will be assessed.

It is the student’s responsibility to finish the work, even if absent.  All projects need to be completed by the end of the nine week session. 

DAILY PROCEDURES:

• Be in the room on time

• Move avatar on attendance board.

• Collaborate and work on project assignment.

• No gum, food, candy, or drinks are allowed in the classroom

• Engage in productive work for the entire class period

• Show respect toward classmates, teachers, substitutes, and visitors. You do not have the right to prevent anyone from learning or the right to prevent the teacher from teaching.

• Complete exit slips and remain seated until it is time to go, then pick up after yourself and push your chair in.

KEYS TO SUCCESS IN THE COMPUTER CLASSROOM:

• Attend class regularly

• Come to class with a positive attitude and use class time productively and wisely

• Approach learning with a respectful and resourceful attitude, and be open-minded

• Be responsible for your actions and the choices you make

SCHOOL POLICIES and CLASSROOM POLICIES:

A student is expected to follow all school rules and policies as found in the Student Handbook. Likewise, a student is expected to follow specific computer classroom rules. Students who have difficulty following established rules will have consequences for their actions. It is the student’s responsibility to know policies and rules. The ladder I follow will be to give a warning, asking the student to correct his/her behavior. If necessary I will give a second warning. The third infraction will result in a letter home which will need to be signed and returned. Depending on the severity of the infraction, an immediate referral may also be given.

WILDCAT PRIDE:

• P  erseverance-I do not quit

• R  espect-I treat myself and others in a positive and respectful way

• I   ntegrity-I am true to myself and my word

• D  iscipline – I am focused on my education

• E  xcellence – I give my best effort
