General Expectations
•
Grades are based upon the demonstration of proficiency on units associated with a standard given during each formative or summative assessment. Formative grades in addition to summative unit assessments will be used to holistically determine your grade.
•
Summative measures of achievement are taken when unit master is expected. (i.e., unit tests, culmination of a project, embedded assessments, etc.). Formative assessments measure the scaffolding skills and/or content embedded in the unit. Formative assessments are taken frequently, after a student has practiced a skill or become familiar with content. Examples of formative assessments include but are not limited to exit tickets, paragraphs, oral check for understanding, warm-ups, stages in a large project, etc.
•
Assessments will be graded based on teacher/district/state rubrics.
•
On group projects, students will receive a grade for individual work and a group grade.
•
Grades are based on achievement of Program and/or Content Standards and Grade Level Expectations (where applicable).
•
Employability Assessments consist of the student’s ability to adapt to the workplace. This category puts the student in the role of maintaing responsibilities. These include but are not limited to, coming to class on time, dressing in the appropriate uniform, class conduct, participation, as well as, in-class assignments.
•
The Formative and Employability assessments are based on three categories in which the student is evaluated on. Attitude, Attentiveness, and
Assignment, as one would in the real world work environment.
•
ATTITUDE - This score is based on the students attitude portrayed in class. As an EMT, we are all expected to show up to our job with a positive attitude and ready to work. A negative attitude can give the patient a negative view on the world of EMS, and it is important not to bring our personal dilemmas to play.
•
ATTENTIVENESS - This score is based on the students attentiveness.. The student is expected to be alert, inquisitive, and willing to learn and ascent challenges. In EMS, attentiveness is vital in the field. Attentiveness is key in our scene safety, which ultimately is our future health.
•
ASSIGNMENT - The student is expected to have knowledge gained from the most prior material given in class. The student will have a short assignment (ie quiz on recent material/ethical questions as a warm up assignment in the class)
•
The sum of these three categories are averaged out, using a Rubric scale and accounts for 20% of the grade.
Class Expectations
Missing or incomplete assignments/assessments for this course: Superintendent Policies 6280 Homework and 6281 Make-Up Work, will be followed for this course.
If you are absent it is YOUR responsibility to get your make-up work.
Student Expectations
Bring a positive attitude, pencil, pen, and paper. A 3 ring notebook is needed to make a portfolio. Students are encouraged to stay familiar with what activities are going to happen throughout the class. We are expected to be able to lift up to 125 pounds. Physical activity is often used in our regular classroom activity, as well as a workout syllabus in earning credit for physical education.
