TOPICS AND ACTIVITIES Learning about Work Worker Rights and Protections Workplace Safety Career Exploration Expectation of Employers Leadership Skills Managing Money Capstone STUDENT EXPECTATIONS Students are expected to:

Come to class prepared and ready to work each day--a folder, loose leaf paper, pencil and blue or black pen. Make up all missed work within one week of the absence (including tests). This must be arranged for after school. Students will not take a makeup test during class time. Sign a network agreement to use the networked computers and internet for classroom activities. Students will also use e-mail regularly in this course. Parents/Guardians must also sign this agreement. This is essential for this class. If an agreement is not signed, the student will be assigned library assignments instead of computer assignments for all internet-related activities. Turn in work when it is due. Many students tend to fall behind in this class, so be sure to come in before or after school to finish assignments if it cannot be completed during regular class time. Be responsible. Discuss with me if they feel they are falling behind or are having difficulty learning. I will arrange after-school tutoring for those who need additional help or instruction.
