Syllabus
OVERVIEW
Over the course of the trimester and through blended innovative online learning and hands-on performance based assessments, students will explore a deeper understanding of Algebra or Geometry topics.
EXPECTATIONS
I expect you to attend class daily. You must be present in order to gain the skills necessary to ensure you have a solid foundation in Algebra/Geometry. Our class would not be the same without you. Only YOU can own your learning.
2. RESPECT, everyone and everything.
We are a team. We support each other. We encourage each other. We respect each other in all capacities. RESPECT YOURSELF and make your education your PRIORITY- it will pay off BIG!
3. TRY, mistakes are proof that you are trying.
Mistakes are encouraged- that’s why we use pencils in this course. Mistakes are necessary and valuable—embrace them, learn from them, ask questions, adjust accordingly. You sell yourself short every single time you chose not to try.
Hard work beats talent when talent doesn’t work hard. Don’t be lazy. Always strive for better. Promise yourself to be persistent. It doesn’t matter how fast you go as long as you don’t stop.
5. NO NEGATIVE thoughts allowed.
Whether you think you can or think you can’t, you’re right (Henry Ford). You can. You will.
You will need a positive attitude and a writing instrument. I have the calculators, notebooks, computers and rulers.
ASSESSMENT MEASURES/ GRADING POLICY
Student learning and growth will be measured through two main components using formative and summative assessments; a portfolio consisting of performance based assessment projects and online supplementary work using the compass learning odyssey. There will be 5 two-week modules in this course of which there will be 4 modules of online work and 2 modules of small group instruction and project based learning. This trimester course will consist of 5 modules. You must be proficient in 5 of 6 modules in order to pass this course.
