Course Description:
Class Expectations:1. The teacher will take attendance at the beginning of the hour. Students arriving late to class must ask
permission to enter the classroom. Students must wear the uniform correctly. More than anything, be sure to keep your shirt tucked in at all times.
2. Students must have notebook paper, pens, pencils, liquid paper, their class notebook and any required worksheets or homework present with them each day of class.
3. Students will refrain from using offensive language in the classroom. It is expected that students will conduct themselves with tolerance and respect towards all students and personnel within school grounds.
4. Taking notes during class is obligatory5. Students will not use cellular phones in class unless it is specifically permitted by the teacher. Students
caught using their phones will have their phones confiscated. There will be no warnings given. The phone will be confiscated and given to the discipline department.
6. Students will pay attention during class presentations and refrain from talking while the teacher is explaining.
7. Students will receive their daily class participation in one of three ways:
Dirección de Operaciones Académicas
a. The teacher will refer to the attached participation rubric and assign the appropriate number of participation point (sometimes called “evidencias” based on the quality of the students work on that and on the teacher’s observation and expert judgment.
b. The teacher will stamp or sign the student’s work in the classroom. The teacher reserves the right to deny a student a stamp if he feels that the student copied his work or for some other reason does not deserve the stamp EVEN IF the student’s work appears complete.
c. The teacher will collect written work at the end of the class session and grade it at home.8. Students who are absent must mention it to the teacher the first day that they return to school.
The teacher will then assign “make up” work so that the student may recuperate his/her lost points. Students who do not ask for make-up work in a timely manner will not be given this opportunity EVEN IF they have a justified absence. It is the student’s obligation to ask for this work at the first possible opportunity. Failure to do so will result in the loss of the right to make up work. Normally, make up work will be assigned without question. Students do not have to wait until they have a justified excuse (known as a “justificante”) in order to receive their make-up work from the teacher.9. Students must turn in homework on the due date for which it is assigned or risk losing all points for that assignment. Students may only turn in late homework when given permission by the teacher.10. Students who refuse to participate in class will be sent to the counselor’s office and will be given extra work. Students who do not complete this work risk losing their right to attend the class on a regular basis with their classmates. These students may also expect to lose a recess or be forced to stay after school.11. Students will do quality work and take the steps necessary to ensure that it appears to have been done with care and consideration. Any work that appears to have been done with a minimal amount of effort is at risk for being refused and receiving a zero. The same is true for sloppy work. Neatness counts!
8. Quizzes will be given periodically. Expect “pop” quizzes as well. (“Surprise” quizzes)9. When the group’s behavior merits a reward, the normal class schedule may be interrupted for a fun,
learning dynamic at the teacher’s discretion. 10. Student’s interrupting listening activities with talking will receive a report. No warnings. No questions
asked.11. Students must print a copy of these rules and paste them in their notebooks.12. Students must use a notebook or a binder for this course. All notes, however, must be kept organized and
in the same place – no multiple binders, no multiple notebooks.13. Students must sit in their assigned seats and move to the place indicated by the teacher if requested.14. Students will be expected to speak English at all times in the classroom. Students will be divided into teams (their rows) and their team may qualify for a raffle for an extra participation point if they refrain from speaking Spanish during the class period.15. Copying is academic dishonesty and will result in all students involved receiving a zero for their work.16. Students are expected to be environmentally conscious with respect to the materials/resources that they use in the completion of their activities. For this reason, all daily work will be done on plain white notebook paper. (See “Correct Protocol for Turning in Assignments” below) Work done on fancy notebook paper or colored paper will not be accepted. Besides that, at times the teacher will demand that recycled material be utilized for activities and/or projects. 17. Additional rules will be added at the teacher’s discretion.

*n/a (not applicable) does not mean that no assignment will be checked and graded. It means that the assignment was not originally intended to be homework and/or that no special instructions are expected for its successful completion and submission/turning in.
III. EVALUATION: Evaluation criteria:
Teacher’s Stamp: Many times the teacher will stamp your classwork or homework when it appears that you have clearly made the necessary effort in the activity. This is a quick and easy way to grade. When you receive a stamp, write your name legible in pen over and through the stamp so as to make it clearly your property and to protect it from theft. Once you have received a stamp it is imperative that you protect and save it so that it can be counted at a later date. At the end of a partial period, the teacher will call you up to his desk in order to count your stamps.

Correct Protocol for Turning in Assignments and Required Formats:
Activities Done on Notebook Paper:A. The paper
Use standard white letter sized notebook paper (8 ½” by 11”) for all regular class activities unless otherwise indicated. Do not use colored paper or designer notebooks. The idea is to use fewer resources. Colored paper and designer paper is more expensive because it requires more resources and more energy to produce. Be environmentally responsible and use plain white notebook paper or your work will be rejected.
Plain white notebook paper. Standard letter size (8 ½ by 11”) It may be loose leaf, like this, or from a spiral notebook.
B. The heading
Just like this. In the top right corner, write:
Father’s last name, Your First nameThe Name of Your Class (The Name of the Book)
The Topic/The ActivityThe Date
If you do not use the correct format, you risk losing points and even having your work rejected.
