This document outlines a rubric for evaluating student participation in class. It assesses behavior, preparedness, classroom interaction, and attitude on a scale of 1 to 4. Behavior is evaluated based on being on-task, following rules, and displaying appropriate conduct. Preparedness considers bringing materials, engagement, and timely completion of assignments. Classroom interaction focuses on participation, volunteering, and respect for others. Attitude examines displaying a positive attitude, accepting feedback, and working well with others. Students are responsible for following the course contract, which the teacher will review every five weeks, notifying students of any breaches. By signing, students and parents agree to abide by the policies and requirements.
