Welcome to Freshman BIOLOGY WAIT, WAIT…DON’T TELL ME! I ALREADY KNOW WHAT YOU’RE GOING TO ASK.
1. Am I in the right place? • 1st CP Biology • 2nd CP Biology • 3rd Planning • 4th CP Biology • 5th CP Biology • 6th CP Biology
3. Will the teacher treat me fairly? YES!!! • Next Door Neighbor Syndrome. • 1 Free Phone Call • 1 Post Card
4. What are we going to do in here? Put examples here.
5. How will we be graded? • Class Assessments 20% • Quizzes/Notebook Check 15% • Summative Assessment 40% • Final Exam 15% • County Interim 5% • Performance Assessment 5%
Every Day expectations • Be in the classroom when the tardy bell rings (Tardy Policy) • Begin working on the “bellringer” • Bring all materials, books and other supplies to class and take them with you when you leave. (Pencil Policy) • Be Respectful • No food or drink in the classroom. Water is okay. (We all get thirsty) • No electronic devices, unless teacher instructed for learning.
If you are absent • Go to my webpage for all missing assignments. • Sign Notebook that you went to the webpage and got any information you needed.
Discussions • Everyone’s participation is essential! • I want to hear what you have to say. • All comments and questions must be related to the current topic. • If the question is off topic, please write it on a post-it note for later.
A “real world” approach • Classes are the equivalent of “your job.” • The classroom is your officeteachers are your supervisors, and the students are the employees. • You are scheduled to work Monday -- Friday. • Water/Restroom breaks are short breaks between jobs (classes). • Employees (students) work up to six different shifts in one day. • Each work shift is 56 minutes. • On occasion, your work may need to be taken home. • You get weekends, holidays, and ten weeks off during the summer. Not a bad deal—everyone else gets a two-week vacation. • Your report card = paycheck, and your compensation is directly tied to your work effort. • As in a “real” job, employees (students) may get docked if you do not work the entire shift or are absent. This implies that employees (students) must be on task the entire “shift.”
