Student Leadership Course

 2021 - 2022

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Welcome to the Student Leadership Development Course (SDLC 2).  In order to guarantee that your child will have a safe and successful school year, I am sending home a copy of the policies for my classroom. During the first week of school, I will go over the policies and rules and students will be directed to return signed copy to class.  Please ensure that you have read and signed the handout.  A copy of this Welcome Letter will be on my website

 

Overview of course:

This course will concentrate on further developing leaders by:  Using the Military Decision Making Process to Plan the Veterans Day Ceremony, Community Service events as well as the 8th Grade Graduation; Plan and develop Team Building events for 1st Year SLDC students; Assist in Teaching 1st year SLDC students.  Students will apply for different Leadership position, (Commander, Master Chief, Executive Officer, Administrative Officer, Operations Officer, Color Guard Commander).  Awards for this year will be: Leadership, Community Service and Academics (A & B Honor Roll) that will be worn on the collar of their Uniform.  (Black Polo shirt with Unit Logo and Last Name). This year we will be having a color guard in which students may sign up to participate.  Practices will be before school.  More to follow.

 

Supplies Needed:

A 1-inch, three-ring binder or a plastic folder (3 prongs, two pockets)/ Lined notebook paper/ Pencils or Pens                                                      

Physical Training Clothing or PT gear (shorts/T-shirt and tennis shoes).  Students will be doing Drill & Ceremony as well as Physical Training.  We will do physical training twice a week (Thursday) starting the 3rd week of school. Dressing out and participation will be part of the Student’s grade.

 

Uniform:  Uniform will be a Black Polo shirt with the SLDC Patch as well as the Students Name.  Currently there is no cost for the uniform due to donations from our Sponsors.  Students will be required to wear uniform (which is a grade) on Wednesdays once students receive them.

 

Class Participation:  Part of the class participation grade will entail:  1) Good behavior not only in this class but in others; 2) Passing all classes (tutoring will be available in room 402 starting at 8:40am every morning except in during required faculty meetings, parent conferences, etc.).

  • Be Prepared have your needed materials as well as any assignments.

  • Be Courteous to all in the classroom. 

  • Be Responsible for yourself.

  • Be Motivated,.give it your best and never give up.  Attitude means a lot in this course.

  3. Physical Exercise may be assigned as a behavior modification tool (e.g. no more than 10 pushups; leg raises or sit-ups, etc.) as deemed appropriate by the instructor.

Grading Policy:

Grades will be divided into three categories:

  • 40% Major Grades – This will include tests, and may include major projects.

  • 35% Intermediate Grades – This will include quizzes, small projects, folder checks.

  • 25% Minor Grades - This will include any daily assignments, bell work, and class participation to include team cohesiveness/attitude.

 

Folders:

I require that all students keep a folder in order to organize their work.  All pages will be headed correctly, and numbered.  I feel that organizing, maintaining, and being responsible for a folder is a very important part of being a responsible student. Students are required to bring their SLDC folder to class each day. 

 

Textbooks:

This course will not have textbooks, notes will be taken and powerpoints, etc will be placed in TEAMs. 

 

Electronic Devices Policy:

Cell phones should be on silent and not visible in the classroom unless there is a direct instructional need.

 

Make-up work:

When a student is absent, it is the responsibility of the student to make-up work which is missed.  Students should look on the calendar on my website to find the assignments and come see me for handouts.  All assignments should be made up within 3 days of the student’s return to class.  Please see me about arranging a time to make up any quizzes and tests.

 

Late Work: (HNMS Policy)

Late work may result in a loss of points but will not go below 50%.
