Semi-independent Learner - Was able to research, design, test and apply related theory to successfully construct a project or demonstrate a skill with little assistance from the instructor. Dependent Learner - Was able to research, design, test and apply related theory to successfully construct a project or demonstrate a skill with moderate assistance from the instructor. Very Dependent Learner - Was able to construct a project and/or demonstrate a skill with considerable coaching and assistance from the instructor. Unsuccessful Was unable to complete projects or demonstrate skills even with coaching and assistance of the instructor. Rational: Industry standards require an employee to be punctual, dress in the proper attire, and be ready to work at the designated start time to perform his/her job to industry standards. In the automotive industry and most others, you will be required to have certifications and or licenses to maintain job position. This will require continuing education to keep up with the changes in technology and new skills needed. This rational must be adhered to in order to improve education in the classroom or the effects on student learning will be minimal Extra Credit: There are opportunities for extra credit work, provided that they are aligned with the curriculum and that regular assignments are completed. CLASS POLICIES ID Badge: (this is from our Handbook) Students are required to have and display on themselves at all times an Auburn Career Center ID badge, which is provided free during the first weeks of school. The Auburn ID badge must be clearly visible and presented upon request to any teacher, administrator, resource officer, or school personnel. If a student s original badge is lost or stolen, a duplicate ID badge must be purchased. The fee for a duplicate badge is $5.00. All rules and procedures stated in the student planner must be followed at all times. It is the student s responsibility to be familiar with Auburn s student code of conduct. It is the 7

8 prerogative of the school to add or amend this student code of conduct at anytime during the school year. Attendance Statement: (this is from our Handbook) More than five unexcused absences within a nine week grading period or three in a six week grading period may result in loss of credit. Excessive unexcused absences may result in disciplinary action. Student not dressing (No uniform, boots, pants, shirts, and safety glasses) three times in six week or five times in nine week period will result in a failing grade. Upon an excused absence, you will have a period equal to the number of days of the absence to complete any missed assignments, quizzes and exams. Please remember lab assignments may not be able to be made up. Any act of academic dishonesty will result in a zero for that activity, with a teacher parent contact. All work, both written and lab activities, must follow the format the teacher has outlined for that activity. Even though the work may be completed, if the proper format is not followed a lowering of the grade will occur for that activity. Late work will not be accepted. Students must work as part of a team. Students must develop a work ethic. Safety glasses must be worn at all times in lab. No operation of machinery until qualified by instructor students must sign a safety agreement. Students are required to wear Auburn uniform. Proper protective clothing must be worn at all times. No jewelry is permitted. Steel-toed boots must be worn at all times. No horseplay. No food or drink in the lab or classroom. Do not leave shop without instructor s permission. 8

9 SAFE WORK PRACTICES EMERGENCY MEDICAL If your instructor is not present or if the person is in trouble, contact the main office by using the telephone in the Instructors office/classroom. Pick up the phone and dial 0 for the Main Office. Remain calm, explain the situation. If there is no immediate answer, send someone to the nearest classroom or office and notify an adult of the incident and request additional help by calling 911. If the victim is conscious, it is best to have them lie still until qualified emergency response personnel arrive on the scene. Do not move a victim unless there is risk of additional immediate danger to them and you. You can cause additional severe injury by unnecessarily moving a victim. There is the possibility of the victim going into a state of physiological shock --a condition of insufficient blood circulation different from electrical shock --and so they should be kept as warm and as comfortable as possible. EXTRA HELP It is the responsibility of the student or the student s parents to request extra help. The teacher may arrange this help in a number of different ways depending on the student and the particular assignment or topic area. The student may request help at anytime and the parent can call the teacher during regular business hours to request additional help. The parent is encouraged to contact the teacher to request help or to inquire about the progress of their child. Changes to syllabus: The Instructor/Auburn Career Center Administration reserves the right to make changes to this syllabus as needed throughout the year. 9

Simplicity It is with great enthusiasm that I want to announce a new opportunity for students to participate in an on-line job match software program. The online job match software, symplicity, allows students to develop an online profile and to upload a resume and cover letter in order to apply for employment. Once students choose to apply to job opportunities posted by local employers interested in Auburn students, those employers can contact students directly for interviews. In addition, students can connect to employers during the school day at monthly job fairs. If you would prefer your son or daughter not to participate in our on-line job board or at in school job fairs, please contact the high school office or send in a note. CAREER SAFE PROGRAM/OSHA 10-HOUR GENERAL INDUSTRY TRAINING Description of Program The OSHA Outreach Training Program for General Industry provides training for students, entry level workers, and employers on the recognition, avoidance, abatement, and prevention of safety and health hazards in workplaces in general industry. The program also provides information regarding workers' rights, employer responsibilities, and how to file a complaint. Through this training, OSHA helps to ensure that workers are more knowledgeable about workplace hazards and their rights. Each module 12

13 contains a brief assessment, which must be successfully completed before the student can move on to the next module. Once all modules have been viewed and the corresponding assessments are passed, there is a comprehensive final assessment. Purpose The purpose of the program is to provide students with basic safety awareness training so they will be able to recognize, avoid and prevent safety and health hazards in the workplace. Young workers develop a safety mindset and acquire marketable skills for a competitive edge. Credential Earned Students who successfully complete the CareerSafe OSHA 10-Hour General Industry course receive an OSHA 10-Hour General Industry wallet card from the OSHA Training Institute (OTI). As a result, they become more employable, gaining a competitive advantage in the job market.
