You will learn to...
Share, work, accept, disagree, take risks
It is okay to disagree with someone's opinion. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, even if it differs from yours.
I am a fan of taking risks. It's an important part of the growth process. You will never be penalized for taking risks. =)

Homework
as needed, one day late only
Most of what we do can be done in class. If you waste class time, then you will likely have homework to do.
Please make sure to turn in homework on time.

Student evaluation
Summative & formative assessments, participation
You will be assessed in three different categories: participation/homework (10% of overall grade); formative assessments (30% of overall grade); and summative assessments (60% of overall grade).
Homework is graded according to completion/effort. Students, however, are expected to correct their homework when it is reviewed in class.
Formative assessments are typically quizzes and digital projects all of which are graded for accuracy.
Summative assessments are typically unit tests. All students are required to complete Level 3 (multiple choice). Level 4 (short answer) and Level 5 (essay) are optional.

APPS FOR SUCCESS
PowerSchool Learning, GAFE
We use a variety of technology tools in this class. Our PowerSchool class website contains the daily agenda and other important information.
PowerSchool is our online learning space. Most of our digital work will begin and end in PowerSchool.
Google Classroom is where I will push out assignments that are either Google Docs or Google Slides. The Levels 4 & 5 for the summative assessment will also be pushed out through Google Classroom.
Google Apps for Education (GAFE) consists of the Google suite of tools that our district has adopted. Essentially, your child has a GGUSD Gmail account that he/she can use until they graduate from GGUSD.
