Grading information
I am glad you are taking work based learning! This class is a great way to obtain a career and technical credit while working and earning money! However, there are several obligations you will have as a student of this course, and it is up to you to take your responsibilities seriously to earn your credit.
Our class will meet each Tuesday during the third block slot. Additionally, you will have all day Wednesday to work at your job. You are required to work no fewer than 15 hours per week in order to gain class credit. To verify this, you will need to bring in a completed time sheet every week. These timesheets will verify your hours worked plus help you understand how to calculate your paychecks. These are for a grade and are kept on file until the end of the semester.
Additionally, each week, you will be graded based on your answer to the weekly question. Each question is worth 2 points (out of 100 total) for your final grade. Your question must be answered each week to remain current in the class. As in any class at Classic City High School, your progress will be monitored to make sure you are no more than two weeks behind at any given time.
Please answer the question each Tuesday while in class for the work based learning program. Each response should be a well-developed paragraph, of about 150 to 200 words.
Please form your answers in a logical format, using a topic sentence, supporting sentences and by checking your spelling and grammar carefully.
Please be sure to keep up with your time sheets and weekly questions to remain in the course. I'm sure you will have no trouble at all!

Welcome to Class!
Welcome to Work Based Learning at Classic City High School! This class helps you earn a course credit in the career and technical seal (business focus) while giving you more time to work for pay. This class will help you understand the responsibility and dedication needed to maintain regular hours in the business world.
I look forward to working with all of you as well as getting to know your employers. A syllabus with all the required information will be distributed, but I will cover the basics of what this course requires.
During your time in class, you will be responsible for working a minimum of 15 hours per week. It will be up to you to track your progress. Each week, you will fill out a time sheet and have your evaluator sign it. These sheets are a large percentage of your final grade, so it is imperative they are turned in weekly.
Additionally, you will be responsible for answering question of the week on the blog as well as attending class each Wednesday. The remainder of your grade will be determined by two evaluations given by your employer.
Although there is not a lot of in-class work required for this credit, it is imperative that you check in weekly to ensure you are completing all necessary items. Roll for this class will be taken only on Wednesdays, and failure to attend class will result in dismissal.
