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:

Presentations

Collaborate and Share Skills

COURSE SEQUENCE


Assessment is the process of gathering and discussing information from multiple and diverse sources in order to develop a deep understanding of what students know, understand, and can do with their knowledge as a result of their educational experiences; the process culminates when assessment results are used to improve subsequent learning. Students will be assessed regularly throughout the Assistant Network Technician course of learning. The assessment methods may include written exams, laboratory exercises, industry certifications, and presentations. Students will receive feedback on assessments and when necessary, provided remediation resources. Details of objectives being assessed may be found within the curriculum lesson plans. Each nine-week grade is based upon the theory, laboratory, and employability skills grades earned each grading period.

Assessment Plan

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.Exams: exams measure student knowledge of material against criteria derived from higher level objectives. The minimum standard for each objective, unless otherwise stated, is 70%. Exams will normally be administered for every unit/chapter covered. However, they may be qiven more often in 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 materials covered in class.


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 ocmplete 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 a 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

Make-Up PolicyIt is the students responsibility to make arrangements for make-up work on the day of return and outside regular class hours, so as not to interrupt learning time for others. Make-up work is considered late:

• Make-up work is worth 80% of maximum points.

• If an assignment has already been graded and returned to students, it cannot be made up.

• Students will be responsible for keeping track of missed assignments in the grade book.

• Turn in all make-up work directly to the instructor.

• Make-up work must be completed outside of regular class time and within the time limit provided by the instructor.

• 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 = students should request “Leave of Absence” with the Attendance Clerk

• Work missed due to a “Leave of Absence” may or may not be completed for a grade depending on the curriculum being delivered during the students leave, per SOTC policy.

missing these activities will receive an “excused” assignment score so that the assignment will not count against their overall grade.

SOTC’s attendance policy is modeled after the workplace. Students are expected to be in class every school day and take care of personal business on their own time. Students 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.
