MACRO Plan I teach Technology Applications for
grades 3-8. At each grade level, the
curriculum is 100% Texas Essential Skills and Knowledge (TEKS) aligned.
My goal in teaching technology applications is for each student to become
computer literate not only in general knowledge of the subject matter but also
in the practical application of computer software skills.
Grading
and Late Work Practices
I follow the district grading policy.
For late work, at a minimum, I follow the district late work policy. Late
work beyond the district policy is at teacher discretion.

Re-teach
Practices Following the Madeline Hunter Teaching Model, I utilize every
opportunity to re-teach assignments when individuals or classes struggle with
specific concepts. There is re-teach
in the classroom everyday. Additional
re-teach opportunities are available during tutorials from 3-4 p.m. on Monday
and Wednesday. Students also may
have opportunities to improve their grades on assignments when re-teach is
offered. Improving a grade may be in
the form of correcting a test for additional points, redoing an assignment for a
maximum of a 70, or doing an alternate assignment for a grade that will raise
the grade in question without changing the original grade (example:
the student may do another assignment on the same concept and I will
accept this assignment and record the grade, but not change the original grade).
A student’s failure to appropriately study or prepare for an assignment
or test does not entitle them to re-teach opportunities.
The teacher has sole discretion on which grades/assignments are re-taught
and when opportunities are available to improve the grade.
