1.
Prepare for success! Before the first day of school you should do the
following:
a. Arrange your classroom for effectiveness and efficiency.
b. Become familiar with your school’s rules, guidelines, and regulations.
(These should be spelled out in the school handbook.)
c. Plan and post classroom rules. (3-5 is the ideal number.)
d. Develop course requirements and produce a class policy sheet for each
class. (A class policy sheet is attached.)
e. Generate and have copies made of student profile sheets for each class.
(A sample student profile is attached.)
f. Prepare lesson plans for the first week. (A sample lesson plan is
attached.)
g. Become familiar with the school’s physical layout.
h. Check all computer equipment and software to be used in your classroom.
i.
Locate the curriculum frameworks for business/marketing education:
http://dwe.arkansas.gov/CurriculumFrameworks/CGBusinessandMarketing.htm
You will most likely be asked to tie your lesson plans in with the state
frameworks for each class. (An actual lesson plan with framework
notations is attached.)
2.
On the first day of school:
a. Dress appropriately. If you want to be treated as a professional, you must
dress like one. (See attachment.)
b. Write your name, room number, and class on the board at the front of the
class.
c. Stand outside the door and welcome students into your classroom. Be
enthusiastic and smile!
d. Tell students where to sit. Don’t do a seating chart the first day, but
explain to students that you will have a seating chart soon.
e. Introduce yourself. Tell students your name, college attended, your
degree, past work experience related to what you are teaching, that you
are excited to be here and how much you love teaching!
f. Pass out student profiles for students to fill out. When students have
completed these, check the class roster and note if a student wants to be
called by a different name.
g. Pass out the class policy sheet and carefully go over it so the students
know exactly what is expected of them.
h. Do a mixer activity. (For example, a human scavenger hunt.)
i.
3.
Make a note of the special problems that come to you during the first day.
Discuss these with another teacher.
What students want to know on the first day (in order):
a.
b.
c.
d.
e.
f.
g.
Am I in the right room?
Where am I supposed to sit?
What are the rules of this teacher?
What will I be doing in this class?
How will I be evaluated?
Who is the teacher as a person?
Is this teacher going to be interested in me as an individual?
Miscellaneous information:
1.
Once you are hired, you will most likely receive your first check in August.
Many vocational teachers are hired on a 9 ½ or 10 month contract and
receive a check every month over 12 months.
2.
As quickly as possible after you are hired, go look over your classroom. Take
home textbooks to help in your planning. It is never too early to begin!
3.
Talk to the other teachers in the business department and see if one will
serve as a mentor to help you throughout the year. If you are the only
business teacher, consult with another vocational teacher.
4.
To keep track of traffic in and out of your room, consider using a checkin/check-out sheet (attached). Impress upon students that they must sign in
and out on this sheet every time they leave your classroom for any reason.
Post this at the door in your classroom along with a pen on a chain.
5.
Post your class objective on the board or at the front of the class EVERYDAY.
This will help end the question, “What are we doing today?”.
6.
Have a “bell activity” for students to do each day when they enter the room.
(See attached lesson plan.) Get your students into the habit of entering class
and starting work on the bell activity each day without your prompting them.
CLASS POLICY SHEET
Course: CT: Business Applications
Teacher: Mrs. Hotsenpiller
Business Department
Course Number: VEBT 15
Grade Levels: 9 - 12
Course Description: CT: Business Applications is an 18-week course designed to prepare students
with an introduction to business applications that are necessary to live and work
in a technological society. Emphasis is given to hardware, concepts, and
business uses of applications. The business applications covered are: word
processing, database, spreadsheet, graphics, integrated software, electronic
mail, web page design, and image processing.
Prerequisite:
Keyboarding
Texts:
Microsoft Office XP Introductory, Pasewark and Pasewark
Requirements:
Homework:
Because this is a hands-on class, work in this class will consist mainly of
computer assignments. All activities to be done on the computer will be assigned
and completed during class. There will be assignments that will be expected to
be completed outside of class, including homework. Class homework will be
worth approximately 10 and 100 points for each assignment.
Notebook:
Each student will maintain a notebook of work completed in this course. The
notebook should include notes, handouts, and completed computer assignments.
A three-ring binder is suggested for this use. The reason for keeping this
notebook is so you will be able to keep all you work in one place. (See “Business
Report” below.)
Quizzes:
Quizzes will be given occasionally at the discretion of the teacher and will be
worth between 10 and 50 points.
Tests:
Tests will be given periodically after and will be worth 100 points. A cumulative
test will be given at the end of each term and will be worth 20% of your final
grade. Tests will consist of mostly hands-on computer demonstration problems
and class-specific questions.
Business Report:
By the end of the term, students will create and submit a business report for a
fictional company of their own creation. The different sections of the business
report will include 3 examples each of word processing, database, spreadsheet,
integrated software, desktop publishing, Power Point, and web page design.
This report will be similar to an actual company’s annual business report in form.
This project will be worth 288 points. A complete criteria sheet for this project will
be given to each student at a later time.
Basic Class Rules: 1. All work completed in and for this class must be keyed using a computer or
neatly handwritten using a pen (no pencils).
2. Any misspelled words on any assignment will result in automatic half credit
for the assignment until you come to Encore immediately to compete a
writing assignment.
3. Zeros are not permitted! If you do not turn in an assignment you will be
assigned Encore to come in and complete the assignment for half credit.
Cheating:
Cheating on any work in this class will result in a “0” for that work, a discipline
notice and notification of your parents that night. Do your own work!
Make-up Work:
1. Make-up work will only be accepted for excused absences.
2. Make-up work assignments can only be gotten at the end of class and during
Encore time. No class interruptions will be allowed for this purpose.
3. Make-up tests, quizzes and projects can only be made up during Encore
time. If this is not possible, see the teacher to arrange another time.
4. The number of days you are absent is the time given to complete make-up
work. (Example, if you are absent 2 days, you have 2 days to complete the
work missed.)
Tardies and Absences:
Tardies and absences will be handled as described in the 2004-2005 Rules and Procedures Book
(Student Handbook) for Siloam Springs High School.
Classroom Rules:
1. Be in your seat and start your work before the tardy bell rings. (You must be in the room
before the tardy bell starts ringing. After this, you are considered tardy and will receive a
discipline notice.)
2. Act as a professional at all times.
3. Food or gum is not permitted in the computer classroom. Drinks are allowed as long as they
are kept on the center tables.
Encore/Lunch Rules:
1. The room is closed EVERYDAY during Encore for everyone unless:
a. You have an assigned Encore from me for work in this class.
b. There is an FBLA meeting.
c. Any other situation that Mrs. Hotsenpiller deems necessary.
PLEASE NOTE: Every Tuesday there will be no assigned
Encore because I have courtyard duty on that day. 
2. The room is open for lunch if:
a. You are CURRENTLY enrolled in a business or computer class
b. You need to work on an assignment or project for this class or another class.
My room will not be used during Encore and lunch for students to come in and check e-mail, surf
the Internet, listen to music, use the computers for personal use, burn CD’s, copy disks, eat
lunch, etc. It is for schoolwork only!
Class Needs:
Pen (you will need one every day)
Three-ring binder

Lesson Plans
Stay ahead of the game. Life is so much easier with lesson plans! (See example)
Use a lesson plan folder with copies of frameworks, lesson plans, handouts etc.
Keep copies of extra projects, class related puzzles, worksheets etc. for those times students finish work early.
Grading
Start taking grades from day one! Use a printout of your roster if necessary to keep up with them.
Two ways to grade, give credit for turning it in or actually check and deduct points for incorrect answers. Even
high school students love stickers or happy notes on their papers!
Keep an answer key folder. I actually complete each assignment and print it out for my key.
Future Business Leaders of America
Use the national website, especially the adviser section. The entire handbook is online!
Start off easy. Pick projects or activities that you are comfortable with then expand or add to them.
Other tips
Keep a folder with all meeting agendas, programs, and certificates of completion. It comes in handy at the end
of the year and when creating resumes or portfolios.
Keep copies of all documents sent to your principal, central office, workforce education etc.
Don’t be afraid to ask questions. Use the list serve.
