Instructional PhilosophyMy priorities revolve around my students, I want them to recognize my genuine passion for guiding them through the learning process and interest in them as individuals. Early in my teaching career, I maintained a teacher-centered classroom where I would lecture, students would stare, students would study the lecture material, students with good memories would pass a test; I would also demonstrate a lab, students would follow step-by-step procedures to complete a practice lab, and again students with good memories would pass a graded lab. Within a couple of years, I realized what a disservice to my students this teacher-centered environment was. In reality, I had been measuring the memorization abilities of my students and not their competencies. Since then my goal has been to shift from a teacher-centered to a student-centered learning environment. Now, instead of giving my students the solutions to the problems they run into, I strive to teach them how to search for and find solutions on their own; I feel this is how they will be challenged in their future career choices and life in general and the time to prepare for the challenge is now. My students are expected to take ownership (as much as possible) of their learning and be actively engaged at all times. As such, students will be encouraged to explore, experiment, and discover on their own. Students can expect my complete support and engagement in the learning process; this includes at a minimum, me being RESPECTFUL, KNOWLEDGEABLE, APPROACHABLE, ENGAGING, COMMUNICATIVE, ORGANIZED, RESPONSIVE, PROFESSIONAL, and HUMOROUS.

My overarching goals are to:• Provide technical knowledge and skills• Enhance leadership and personal development• Encourage critical thinking, reasoning, and decision-making skills• Integrate academic, business and information technology skills throughout the curriculum• Adapt to the changing requirements of business and information technology related careers• Provide the motivation and encouragement for continual and life-long learning

The following will augment my goals:• Lectures - only when necessary• Simulators• Tutorials• Team and individual presentations• Team and individual projects• Guest Speakers• Field trips• Communication - parent and student• Social Media• Web-based grade book• Access to curriculum 24/7• eText books• Advisory Committee• TCTW (Technology Centers That Work) Key Practices

“Those people who develop the ability to continuously

acquire new and better forms of knowledge that

they can apply to their work and to their lives will be the movers and shakers in our

society for the indefinite future.”

ASSESSMENT PLANPURPOSEThe purpose of this plan is to establish procedures which will be used in assessing the student’s achievement of the objectives within the Network Technician Assistant, Network Systems Technician, and Network Security Professional courses. The majority of assessments based on theory will be delivered online or over the network; the majority of lab assess-ments will be completed using virtual machines.

SUMMARYEach nine-week grade is based upon the theory, laboratory, and employability skills grades earned each grading period; the nine-week and semester grades are separate from course grades. Nine-week and semester grades are an average of all assignments within a date range regardless of which course the assignments are in. The weighting of grades is 60% lab and 40% theory.

GRADING SCALEA = 90-100B = 80-89C = 70-79D = 60-69


ASSESSMENT PLAN - continuedASSESSMENTS AND METHODS

• Quizzes/Projects – quizzes will be administered throughout the length of the courses and may consist of any combination of multiple-choice, multiple-answer, true or false, fill in the blank, matching, short answer, and essay type questions. They are intended to measure student understanding of material recently taught or small newly implemented topics. Results are used to identify student learning deficiencies and to counsel students prior to formal testing. Student who score poorly are also recommended to complete extra study in order to correct identified deficiencies. Projects may be technical, literacy, or numeracy based.• Exams – exams measure student knowledge of material against criteria derived from higher level objectives. The minimum standard for each objective, unless otherwise stated, is 75%. Exams will normally be administered for every unit/chapter covered. However, they may be given more often is case of small blocks of complex material. • Labs – performance labs consist of job sheets from text books, hands-on projects, and practical work labs. These are used to measure student progress toward the achievement of the learning objectives and review of material covered in class.

ATTENDANCE AND PUNCTUALITYStudents are expected to be on time and in their seats when the tardy bell rings. Attendance will be entered in the Student Accounting System promptly at 8:15 and 12:45 (8:00 and 12:30 for adults. If you are tardy, you will have been entered as absent and must request the absence be changed to a tardy the following day (prior to attendance being entered). For additional details, see SOTC’s attendance policy at www.sotc.edu and in the Student Handbook for the 2013 2014 school year.

MAKE-UP POLICYIf a student is absent, it is his/her responsibility to make arrangements for make-up work on the day of return and outside of regular class time (before class, during break, or after class) so as not to interrupt learning time for others:

• Make-up work is worth 80% of maximum points• Make-up work may or may not be allowed depending on the nature/content of work. See NOTE below.• If an assignment has already been graded and returned to students, it cannot be made up.• The student is responsible for keeping track of missed assignments and should utilize the grade book to do so.• Make-up work must be completed outside of regular class time and within the time limit provided. 1 day missed = 1 day to make-up 2 consecutive days missed = 2 days to make-up 3 consecutive days missed = 3 days to make-up 4 consecutive days missed = the student should request “Leave of Absence” from the Attendance Clerk• Work missed due to a Leave of Absence may or may not be completed for a grade, depending on the curriculum.• Turn in all make-up work directly to the instructor.

Tests missed due to an absence must be made up on the day of return by arrangement with the instructor and outside of class time; break time is not a sufficient amount of time to complete make-up tests. The instructor reserves the right to administer a different or separate test as a make-up test. Tests not made up on the day of return will count as zero.

NOTE: Daily employability skills reviews, journal entries, other activities and informal daily quizzes covering assigned reading or class discussions cannot be made up. Only students with an approved school activity and missing these activities will receive an “excused” assignment score so that the assignment will not count against their overall grade.

“Learning is a treasure that will follow its owner everywhere.”

- Chinese Proverb
