Assessment Daily Bell-work, Daily Homework Assignments, Lab Grades, Identification Cards, Uniform Check, Quizzes, Notebook Project, Tests, Exam Course Assessment Plan Performance Standards: Grades for the course will be based on the following levels of performance. GRADE & Description A (90 100%) Work is correct with only minor flaws (not having to do with the main idea of the problem). You understand the concepts presented in class and were able to apply them appropriately to real-world examples. You completed all assignments on time, demonstrated a good work ethic, and produced a high quality of work. B (80 89%) You did quality work with a few flaws. You understood the concepts presented in class, and were able to apply them with help. You completed almost all tasks and assignments on time, and demonstrated knowledge with sufficient skills. Poor attendance may have influenced this grade. C (70 79%) Had difficulty understanding class concepts or applying concepts to real-world situations. Some assignments were late or were not turned in. Poor attendance may have influenced this grade. 8

D (60 69%) Did complete some of the work for class. Work completed was frequently late or of low quality with errors and omissions. Poor attendance may have influenced this grade. F (59% and below) Did not complete a significant amount of work for the class, or if work was done, it had major errors and did not meet standards. Poor attendance may have influenced this grade. Culinary Grading System Grading policy is per the Student/Parent Handbook: It is expected that students complete assignments on time! When assignments are turned in on time, the student will earn an EXTRA 5 points per assignment. When assignments are late, the student will LOSE 10 points for every day that the assignment is late. Seniors: When the restaurant project is late, you will LOSE 25 points per day on this assignment. Grades will be determined by a TOTAL POINTS method. Lab grades are worth 25 points a lab. Full uniforms are required for lab. If the student does not have a full uniform, it will result in losing their lab points for the day and a possible visit to Alternative Studies. There is NO making up a missed lab due to no uniform. Identification badges and uniforms are to be worn daily. Identification badges and uniforms are worth 20 points each, a day. If the student does not have their ID badge or uniform, they will lose their points. Repeated offense will result in a possible visit to Alternative Studies. Each day in the Culinary Program is worth 40 points. The student must be present to earn these daily points. The 40 points is based on attendance, student participation, professionalism, and being respectful. When a student is absent in Culinary, he/she cannot earn their daily 40 points if they are not here. If the absent is the result of a doctor s appointment, court appointment or funeral (documentation is required on these absences) the student will be exempted from not earning the given points, but will still have the absence. Attendance Statement: (this is from our 2015 16 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. The students daily grade is also based on their employability skills. It is based on the student s behavior and teacher observations of behavior and attitude. Behavior and preparedness are an essential part of a student s tenure at Auburn and the Culinary Arts Program. 9

ATTENDANCE: When a student in Culinary has perfect attendance, per week, the student will earn an EXTRA 10 points per week. If the student is tardy, or absent in a week, there will be NO extra 10 points per week. Following Auburn s Student Handbook, if a student is absent five days or more per quarter, the student may lose academic credit with a possibility of failing. (refer back to course assessment) GOOD ATTENDANCE AT AUBURN IS ESSENTIAL TO EACH STUDENT S SUCCESS!!! An absence in Culinary could result in not earning daily points and may affect the students total grade.(refer back to course assessment plan) Tardiness to class will result in the loss of the extra 10 points and the student must get an admit slip from the Attendance Office before returning to Culinary. PARTICIPATION Class participation is part of the student s daily grade. LATE WORK Late assignments result in the loss of 10 points per day for each day late. MISSED ASSIGNMENTS/QUIZZES/EXAMS Rules are followed from the student handbook regarding missed assignments. ACADEMIC DISHONESTY Academic dishonesty will NOT be tolerated in the Culinary Program.

Please don t hesitate to ask!!! Our goal at Auburn is to help every student succeed!! 10

EMPLOYABILITY SKILLS In Career and Technical Education student performance is looked at just as business/industry would look at an employee on the job. The quality of tasks completed, time required, participation, attitude and consistency of effort, etc. are considered employability skills and are all a part of one s grade. The following situations will negatively impact one s employability skills and possible loss of points. -Disrespect displayed towards fellow students and instructor -Sleeping or appearing to be sleeping -Swearing or inappropriate language -Not working on task at hand -Horseplay or unsafe activity -Abuse of school property -Playing games or otherwise misusing computers or calculators while in class -Absent from class (other than a school function or excused absence) -Unpleasant, antisocial, negative or belligerent attitude/comments -Chairs left out or equipment not put away -Use of electronic equipment (CD players, cell phones) -Unprepared for class, not turning in assignments on time -Not wearing student ID badge or not having it displayed in a visible location. -Not dressed in IMT uniform. -Unexcused absence from class. Continuous violation of the Employability Skills will result in additional disciplinary action determined on a case by case basis. COURSE ASSIGNMENTS AND PROJECTS NOTE: Due to restaurant scheduling, catering, competitions, cancellation of school, and student assessment, all course scheduling will be taught, BUT is subject to change in the given time slot with the discretion of the Instructor and Administrators.

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 card is lost or stolen, a duplicate ID card must be purchased. The fee for a duplicate ID card is $5.00. COURSE POLICES This course covers a large amount of material; therefore, late assignments will not be accepted. The only exception to this is if the student provides an excused absence that is verified by the High School office. Refer to the Student/Parent Handbook for more information. This program is a program that builds upon skills. Missing class time will jeopardize a student s ability to complete the various assignments and projects accurately and on time. Class participation and employability skills are an extremely important part of this program. Grades are based in part on the following: SAFE WORK PRACTICES Safety violations are NOT tolerated in the Culinary Program, and all rules and regulations in the student handbook will be followed regarding any violation. At this point contact the main office by using the telephone in the Instructors office. 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. 13

Personal Mobile Technology Cell phones, MP3 Players and other mobile devices are included in the definition of personal mobile technology. It is expected that students will realize that mobile technology devices have their time and place and will utilize them appropriately when in the Culinary Arts Program. Cell phones, MP3 Players and other mobile devices are not allowed during lecture, classroom participation time, in the kitchen during lab, or prepping for the restaurant. Students will abide by the rules of Auburn s student handbook, and the rules of the Culinary Arts Program. ADDITIONAL COURSE POLICIES 1. Code of Conduct: The published Code of Conduct for Auburn Career Center found in the Student/Parent Handbook will be enforced at all times. Refer to the Handbook for discussion of due process of the Code and safety violations. Academic dishonesty will not be tolerated. Infractions will be dealt with according to established Auburn Career Center policy. 2. The attendance/tardiness policy provided in the handbook will be followed at all times. It is the responsibility of the student to make arrangements to make up any missed activity the day he/she returns to class. There are certain assignments that cannot be made up. 3. Computer usage: Auburn Career Center supports instruction through the use of computers, e-mail, software, and other media, and Internet access. The use of the tools is a privilege, not a right. Any student who violates the Acceptable Use Policy found in the Student/Parent Handbook may lose their access to Auburn s computers and network accounts. Notice to students who have access to digital audio and video recording equipment. Abuses of this equipment will not be tolerated. In addition, students are expected to use computers and other media equipment at the designated time, and only for class assignments. Abuses may result in a loss of technology privileges. Auburn e-mail accounts are monitored, and the use of them falls under ACC policies. 4. Auburn Career Center is a full-service career center. Many people pass through the facility during the day. Therefore it is important that students wear their student identification badges when in the building. Students who do not display an identification badge will be referred to the Main Office. Failure to wear an ID may result in loss of Employability Skills points and be referred for discipline. 5. Changes to the Syllabus/Handbook: The Instructor/ACC Administration reserve the right to make changes to this syllabus/handbook as needed throughout the year. 14

Additional attempts will be provided if the 80% benchmark is not achieved. SYMPLICITY 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 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. 17
