Extra Learning & Help Opportunities:

While students are graded on their academic achievement, students and parents also receive feedback on classroom behaviors and responsibility. While these behaviors are not graded, we believe that constructive feedback should be given. This feedback is called our Learner Profile. More information is available on the BHS website. Student Expectations for this Course: Students will participate fully during class and ask questions when they are unsure of something. They will work cooperatively with their classmates. Students will complete drawings on time and submit to the shared drive upon completion. Teacher Expectations for this Course: I will be available for you both during class and outside of class when you have questions. I will push you to do the very best that you can do. I will provide feedback to you in a timely manner and help you to reach your goals.

Characteristics of Successful Students in this Course: Students in this course attend school regularly and contribute to class discussions. They take good notes, ask questions, and help their peers. Successful students also set personal goals to keep a focus on improvement. Remediation Statement: Students in Tech classes at BHS will have the opportunity to remediate and reassess individual projects. If a student wishes to remediate they will need to receive some additional instruction and support from the teacher. Additionally the teacher will discuss with the student which specific items need to be improved and how they can practice those skills prior to reworking the project for resubmission. When the student takes the reassessment, the new project grade will fully replace the previous project grade (either higher or lower). The entire remediation and reassessment process will need to be completed within 2 weeks of the original assessment.
