INSTRUCTIONAL PHILOSOPHY & DELIVERY PLAN:
Students should expect to draw and design a complete set of plans for a house. They are expected to meet all course goals listed below and be able to demonstrate their understanding of the underlying concepts. Students will complete all course requirements at a minimum of 60% on the in class grade scale to pass the course. The instruction will be heavily laboratory and application-based with a minimum lecture and demonstration. The teacher provides direction and manages the class but gives students as much responsibility as possible for planning, designing, and researching to complete projects. In brief class assemblies, the teacher lectures and demonstrates particular concepts students need to proceed with projects, laboratory experiments, and other activities. The teacher provides parameters for students’ performance with a variety of possible options. Projects require students to use resources such as text, technical manuals, journals, product catalogs, Internet, and other teachers. The course requires extensive student research and completion of drawings for the house plans all done using drawing instruments, as well as software programs like 3D Home© and AutoCAD©. If necessary, students will be given more than one opportunity to complete assignments to meet course standards. The evaluation and grading system is introduced at the beginning of the course to advise students of the standards they are expected to meet to pass the course. Students will be evaluated on daily attendance and participation; projects; performances and demonstrations; test; and a comprehensive final examination.

Daily Grade:
This industrial technology class will be related to industry as closely as possible. You are the employee; Mr. Sapp is the company manager. Your grade will be determined by how much money you earn in each grading period. Depending on your work and behavior, your pay will range from $0 to $10 per day. You will be required to punch in/out and keep a daily timecard. This timecard must be turned in at the end of each workweek.
Behavior: Talking, or disrupting class while roll is being taken or while a lesson is being given, or disrupting lab time, will result in a $1-$5 loss of wages. There are certain safety requirements while in the lab area. It is important that proper safety procedures be followed at all times. Failure to obey safety rules will result in a $5-$10 fine and possible permanent removal from the class. You are to be working at all times. If you are not working on an assignment, the company manager may assign you a job.
Attendance: If you cut or leave class early, it will cost you $2-$10 for each offense plus extra time assigned after school and maybe a trip to the principle/counselor. You are expected to take care of personal problems (restroom), (office), (counselor), on your own time. If you must use the rest room during class time you will be marked tardy for that day. All absences must be cleared with the office. A student’s grade will be docked $10 for every unexcused/unverified absence.
Tardiness: If you are tardy (being late to class without valid excuse, when the bell starts to ring) you are considered tardy and you will loose $2 in wages for the first 2 offenses. On your third tardy (and all ensuing tardies) you will loose $5 in wages. The company manager will assign detention if you receive 3 tardies. Tardiness in excess of 15 minutes is an unverified absence. You will not be admitted to class without a pass from another teacher or the office and the company manager may assign a 10 detention or extra cleanup duties after school. [You do have an the option to sing for 1 minute for first tardy and 2 minutes for second] Three unexcused tardies will be counted as one absence from class.
Bonus: A bonus will be paid for the following:
$2 :for class journal completed daily.
$0-$10 :for each written assignment turned in on time.
$5-$50 :for outside papers, projects, and extra work.
$1-$50 :for approved individual lab/home work.
$10 :per hour for approved overtime work (making up missed time).
$15 :per hour for pre-approved overtime for student not missing time.
(this pre-made time may be used for makeup, @ $10hr).
Fines: The following is a partial list of behaviors that will result in loss of wages.
-$10-$50 :Inappropriate use of the computers
(unauthorized internet use, e-mail, games, etc.).
-$5-$10 :Failure to cleanup your work area or return tools before the bell.
-$5-$15 :Horseplay, running, and throwing objects in class.
