CTE - Career and Technical Education
Course Outline and Disclosure
Dear Parents and Students;
CTE students are given opportunities to learn about themselves and explore
the world of work.
The students will be spending their time this year in gaining a greater
understanding of themselves, their likes and dislikes, wants, talents and
abilities, and personalities. Through the CTE curriculum, they will explore
many different occupations in business, technology, and family and consumer
science. They will gain a greater understanding of how the real world works
and what to do to prepare for it. They will also spend time planning what
they might like to do in the future and how they can start achieving those
goals while in school. The entire TLC program is exploratory. Please don't
expect the students to become experts on anything – they only
get a taste of many different things.
I. Materials to bring to class each day:
A. Notebook (spiral or 3 ring binder)
B. Paper
C. Pen or pencil
II. Assignments:
A. Students will be given daily notes to be written in the notebook.
Notebooks will be graded every two weeks. A complete notebook will receive
25 points.
B. Not a lot of home work is given so class assignments are important.
Assignments that have been given will be posted on a chart in the room. If a
student is absent, he/she will know what was missed.
C. If a student is absent, he/she will is expected to make up the
missed work within the week of returning to school. Work turned in after
that time will receive partial credit.
III. Grading:
A. Your grade is divided into 3 parts each given the following
percentages: 1. Tests and projects = 33% of the grade; 2. Participation=34%
of the grade; 3. Assignments=34% of grade.
B. Grades are assigned on the basis of the following percentages:
A= 93-100% B =83-85% C = 70-74% D = 56-61%
A- = 90-92% B- = 80-82% C- = 66-69% D- = 50-55%
B+= 86-89% C+= 75-79% D+= 62-65% F =49%
C. Students can access their grade through the computer at school or
at home through the Internet.
IV. Participation and Citizenship Grades:
A. Each student is given 5 points daily for participation in class
discussion.
B. Participation includes: bringing required materials to class, coming to
class on time, participating in class discussion, and not disrupting
students. Ten participation points will be deducted for infraction of the
rules.
C. Citizenship grades are based upon behavior, tardies and unexcused
absences.
D. Tardies will result in losing 10 participation points for each
tardy.
E. When a student is tardy, he/she will enter their name in the
tardy roster on the front desk. When a student has reached 3 tardies, a note
will be sent home to the parent informing the parent. When the student has 4
tardies, a phone call will be made
home.
I am looking forward to a fun and exciting learning experience with
your student
