Vision:
The purpose of the Integrated 2
program is twofold. The first goal being
that all students are prepared mathematically so they can be successful on the
Washington Assessment of Student Learning (WASL), which is administered in the
spring of the sophomore year. At the
same time, the aim is to equip students with the mathematical foundations that
are critical for upper level math courses.
Expectation:
In order to achieve the
previously stated goals, it is a common focus here at Lewis and Clark that all
students remain current in their grade level math class. All students will meet a 70% standard to be
granted credit for the respective class.
The following grading scale
will be used to assign letter grades:
90% - 100% = A
80% - 89% = B
70% - 79% = C
All students who fail to meet
the established standard will be given a letter grade of F until the
standard is met.
Grades will be calculated using
the following rubric:
Assessment = 60%
·
Unit Tests
·
Quizzes
Practice = 40%
·
Assignments
·
WASL Practice
·
Notebooks
·
Projects
·
Etc.
Every student will:
ü Achieve
70% or greater overall in the class
AND
ü Achieve
a 70% or greater on all Unit Tests
Interventions:
The
following steps will be taken for students not meeting the standard due to lack
of effort on practice work:
Step
1 Student conference and parent contact
Step 2
Tutoring center referral
Step 3
Administrative action
The following steps will be taken for students not
meeting the standard due to poor performance on unit assessments:
§
Students who score below 70% but above 60%
will be given the opportunity to correct their unit assessment. The maximum score a student can achieve on
the corrected assessment is 70%.
§
Students who score below 60% must also
correct their unit assessment, retake the assessment, and score above 70%. The maximum score a student can achieve on a
retake is 70%.
§
Students who do not meet the 70% standard on the
first retake will require continued intervention. This intervention will be a joint pursuit
that includes the student, teacher, parent and administrative team.
Test corrections and retakes must be done in class, or in
the

Expectations:
1. When I am teaching or speaking, you are quiet and listening.
2. Time given to you in class to work on your assignment is to be used
for that purpose.
3. You will respect
others at all times.
4. Come to class prepared (paper, binder, pencils, graph paper, calculator*, and
your textbook—covered).
Attendance:
If you are absent it is your responsibility to find out what you have missed and to get the
make-up work in to me within the time allowed (school policy is 2 days + the
number of days absent). If you know
ahead of time that you will be absent from class, it is always better for you
to get the work before the absence. Late
work will be accepted up until the unit test takes place. After the unit test all make up work must be
done through the
Grading:
Notes: Notes are not graded. However, note taking is essential to your
success in this class. Be organized and ready to take notes daily.
Assignments: Assignments will be turned in
daily, using a three phase process. Phase
1: I will give you an assignment and you will complete it with a pencil (strictly enforced) showing all
work. Phase 2: the following day you will correct your assignment using a
red pen and rework those problems
you have missed (either in red pen on the same paper or in pencil on a new
attached paper) showing all work. Phase 3: turn in the assignment the day
after corrections were made in class.
Make sure all original and correction work is stapled together and
labeled correctly.
Each
assignment is worth 4 points (3 points for completeness/ neatness/showing work,
and 1 point for corrections).
Tests/Quizzes: There will be 1 to 2 quizzes per
unit and Unit Tests will be given at the end of each unit.
Final Exam: There
will be a comprehensive final exam at the end of each semester.
Grade Posting: Your
grades will be posted periodically (with code numbers) in the class room so you
can track your performance. Even better,
I will be making assignment calendars and grades accessible online via my
website, “The Fisch-Dimension.” Stay
tuned to find out when that will be available.
Hall
Passes:
You will receive 4 hall pass coupons at the beginning of
each quarter to be used at your discretion.
If you need to use the hall pass for any reason you must redeem one of
your hall pass coupons. At the end of
the quarter you will receive 2 extra credit points for each hall pass coupon
that you did not cash in. Lost coupons will not be reissued.
Food
Policy:
There will be no
food allowed in the classroom. The
only beverage allowed will be water in a clear, closed container.
welcome…it’s great to
meet you!
