ObjectivesSWAT identify instructor, other classes taught by instructor, and instructor experience.SWAT respect classroom behavioral guidelines.SWAT clearly state how grades are earned in this class.
Instructional StrategiesTeacher Centered Lecture and Student Discussion
Activities1) Review classroom behavioral guidelines.
a) Any vandalism or malfunctions report to instructor.b) Three lates reported to attendance for assigned detention.c) Bathroom passes and sign-out sheetd) No games. e) No web usage during class time with out permission from the instructor. f) You may use Headphones.g) Always print to the laser first as a low cost and fast test print.h) Students dismiss from their seats.
2) Gradinga) All drawings will be corrected and returned until they are acceptable.b) The drawing grades total is based on the number of acceptable drawings
completed.c) Work is kept in CADD/Your Teacher’s Name/Class Period/Your Name.d) Progress grades will be posted bi-weekly.e) Place each project in a clearly named folder.f) Place your name on every drawing .g) Quizzes, tests, and finals will be given in the form of multiple-choice using
netsupport, drawings and essays.h) Grades will be total pointsi) Students and their parents may view their grades using Power School. Please see
