REQUIREMENTS:

I always look forward to welcoming a new group of students into this class. I structure my classes in a way to make everyone feel comfortable. This supports their ability to contribute and to be active learners. I truly enjoy social studies education and try to model my passion for this subject by coming to class prepared and eager to teach. In turn I expect students to come prepared and eager to participate. Attendance is important as a significant amount of material is covered each week. In order to fully understand the material, many lessons involve active participation using various teaching methods and strategies. A significant amount of class time involves group work and projects, so in fairness to your group members it is pertinent that you attend. For each class missed without an appropriate reason, 2 marks will be deducted from your class participation mark. In cases where there is a valid reason to miss a class, marks will not be deducted but you will be required to do an additional assignment related to the readings and topic/s missed. The additional assignment will be discussed on an individual basis.
