There is a NO TOLERANCE POLICY for electronics in the classroom.
Any device brought to class will be placed in the "Cell Phone Garage" (kept at the side of the classroom; visible at all times).
I will not be responsible for the security of devices in the garage, so if you a re concerned that your electronic device will be lost or stolen, DO NOT BRING IT TO CLASS.
If you wish to use a tablet or laptop for lessons/HW, please speak to me first.

Assessments
Each assessment will contain some or all of the TACK categories. Each category has a weighting, which is mandated by the GECDSB:
T - Thinking and Inquiry - 30%
A - Application/Making Connections - 15%
C - Communication - 20%
K - Knowledge & Understanding - 35%
To
have a general idea of your class mark throughout the semester, you can
use the percentages above, in combination with the values on your
returned assessments, to calculate:
Approximate Class Mark* = 0.30 (sum of T marks) + 0.15 (sum of A marks) + 0.20 (sum of C marks) + 0.35 (sum of K marks)
Final SCH 4C Mark = 0.70 (semester work) + 0.30 (final summative assessment)
*Your
final mark will be determined using triangulation (a combination of
teacher observations, student-teacher conversations and student products
(assessments)).
