Basic Government and Economics

 

I am pleased to have your student enrolled in my class this year. My goal is to help each student achieve his/her own potential in this course.

This course is designed to give students a solid understanding of the basic Government and Economics principles needed to become successful in our current political world today. Throughout the class, I will emphasize the practical applications of this subject and how it relates to their daily lives.

 

Students will be graded on the following:

 Class work

 Participation

 Homework

 Assessments

 

This is a Special Education classroom. Your student will be provided with small-group instruction and one-to-one assistance as needed. All materials will be presented in multiple modalities (Visual, Verbal, and Kinesthetic as applicable) to assure that your student will receive it in his/her learning style. I will also be available for before school tutoring by appointment or daily during lunch and break.

 

Parents are a vital part of their student’s academic success. Here is how you can help:

 Get your child to school unless they are ill.

 Make sure your child got plenty of rest and a healthy breakfast

 Monitor homework and talk with your child regularly about school.

 

 Proper courtesy must be shown to fellow students & staff.

 Vulgarity is not permitted in the classroom.

 Obey all school rules.

 

 Be in your seats and prepared to work when the bell rings.

 Stay on-task and follow directions.

 Show respect for other in the room.

 Follow school rules and policies

 Complete/Turn in assignments as assigned

 Work Quietly in order not to disturb others.

 Make up all missing assignments

 

Grades will be based on the following:

 Regular attendance

 Appropriate behavior

 Effective use of time

 

A = 90% - 100%

B = 80% - 89%

C = 70% - 79%

D = 60% - 69%

F = 0% - 59%
