Welcome to Family & Consumer Sciences Advanced Foods and Nutrition class! This course is designed to be a continuation of Foods and Nutrition and assist you in principles related to food preparation. It helps you in making critical decisions about food, which contributes to health and well-being. Laboratory instruction is included as an application process. Practical problems addressed relate to attitudes toward foods, nutrition facts, special health concerns and diets, management of food resources, preparation skills, food safety, sanitation and careers in nutrition and food service. An emphasis on careers related to food service and nutrition (i.e. catering, dietician, and other culinary careers.) Leadership development will be provided through the Family, Career and Community Leaders of America.In order for each student to feel safe and comfortable in my classroom, a positive and respectful attitude is expected of all students, this includes respecting others’ thoughts, work, feelings, and individuality. If a student does not demonstrate positive behavior, I will visit with him/her and we will try to resolve the issue together. If this proves unsuccessful, students will call their parents at home or work and explain their behavior. The third offense will be disciplinary action in IC-Mr. Frasure or Ms. Martin. Any negative behavior that continues will result in a conference with the student, parent(s)/guardian(s), the teacher and Mr. Frasure or Ms. Martin.

Work not completed and turned in by the assigned date is considered late. If a student is absent on the date work is due, the assignment is due the first day the student returns to school. COMPLETED LATE WORK will only receive partial credit (70% of the assignment total). INCOMPLETE LATE WORK will not be graded and will result in a zero for the assignment.

How will I check my grade in class?

What do I do if I am absent?Always check the class site for handouts, and assignment due dates. A student has two extra days to turn in any work assigned on a day a student was absent. If a quiz was administered on a day a student was absent, the quiz must be made up on the first day the student returns. If previously assigned work was due on the day of the absence, the work is due on the first day the student returns otherwise it is considered late and will only receive 70% credit. The attendance policy in the student handbook will be followed.Do I have to read outside of class?*An article will be assigned to read from time to time in order to get basic information or to keep current with the new trends in foods and nutrition issues.*A literacy project will be included at some time during the year. More details at a later date.

What types of writing will I do this year?

Lab Reflection Sheets will be completed for every lab in which students participate.Process Pieces will be writing pieces that go along with projects completed individually and as a group.

What is a Student Notebook?

The Student Notebook will be the three ring notebook that was listed in your supplies list filed with the filler paper. You will be expected to keep all assignments in the notebook. This will make for good reference for end of the semester exams as well as an archive of your recipes and projects from this class. Note: these projects maybe saved and revamped for college assignments. The notebook is 30% of your grade so it is in your best interest to keep it updated with the class materials and assignments. Notebook checks will happen twice every nine weeks. You will be given a table of contents sheet in order to keep track of materials.
