these units are a series of laboratory-based activities. These activities allow the student to
experience a logical study of concepts related to hands on problem solving
activities, which relate to every day life.
Within our 20 week class students will learn the skills that are the
foundation of our Technology program in Rush Henrietta.
Each
unit of study has three measures of evaluation

FOR PARENTS:
1. With the new implementation of the Common
Core literacy and math standards it is essential that parents understand that
there are reading, writing, and math (when appropriate) student performance
expectations in my classroom, as well as content specific standards that
students are required to meet.
- Supporting and accommodating the various learning
needs of students in my classroom is a high priority. I aim to achieve
this through differentiated instruction, such as: flexible groups, student
1:1 conferences, per-assessments to gauge student readiness and activate
prior knowledge, and providing choice to recognize student learning styles.
I also coordinate closely with guidance counselors, case managers, and our
special education teachers.
Evaluation

Structured quizzes (Castle Learning) and rubrics are included within each unit of
