Career Readiness

Every week or so I will assign you a grade in the range 0 to 10 that indicates your career readiness.

At the end of the year, if you pass the course, you will receive a certificate that indicates your overall career readiness score for the whole year.

If you are showing up every day, doing the work, and not breaking rules, you will receive a grade in the 8 to 9 point range.  If your grade is a B or above, this will not bring your grade down below a B and it will not bring your grade down a lot. If your grade is below a B, this could actually improve your grade, but it alone will not bring you up into the B range.

(Exercise for the reader: do the math that demonstrates this.)

To get the full 10 points for career readiness, you must be an exceptional citizen, helping others, doing excellent work above and beyond what is required, following all the rules at all times.

Every time you break the rules about food, phones, videos, respect, or any other classroom or school rules, you will lose points. Some of you have already lost many points. You will also lose points if you are absent and no one calls beforehand, and if you are late without excuse. (Excused tardies and bus problems will not affect your grade.)

I will post career readiness scores every Friday after the end of class.
