Child Development
2003
Welcome to a class devoted to learning all about children. This course is
designed to provide a foundation of learning, which will help prepare you for
working with children in your career, or as a parent later in life. Some of
the topics we will study are stages and theories of development, heredity,
environment, special needs children, general care of children, and issues that
relate to parenthood. We will also learn about careers that relate to infants
and children, such as becoming a social worker, pediatrician, children's book
writer, nanny, parent and many more.
Classroom Expectations
The most important expectation I have of all of my students is RESPECT. It is
vital to your success, now and later in life, to learn how to respect
yourself, those around you and the objects you come in contact with. If you
can follow this simple principle, you will never have any problems dealing
with people at school, work, and home.
Classroom Rules
Food and drinks will not be permitted within the classroom, unless we have a
Lab in the kitchen or a cooking project in class.
Deliberate misuse or damage of any object in this classroom will result in a
referral to the office.
You will be held accountable for cleaning up your work area, in the classroom
or kitchen. Detention or point deductions will be given to students who leave
their work areas messy.
Bathroom passes will be given out the first week of school, once all of your
passes have been used a tardy will be given for each additional need. Use your
passes only when absolutely needed. You can earn rewards for your passes. For
example, one drop test grade=4 passes.
Refer to the Bryan County Board of Education Handbook for policies related to
dress code, tardies, attendance and behavior codes. All of these rules will
be enforced in this classroom.
Late work will not be accepted under any circumstances. Students who are
absent are responsible for asking the teacher or classmates what was missed.
Only students with an excused absence will be allowed to make up tests or
quizzes (these can be made up before or after school only).
