Virtual Learning Policy:  To ensure students are attentive and receiving the information being conveyed during class, camera use is MANDATORY.  Failure to adhere to this rule will result in the student being removed from the Meet.  Students will be on camera to receive attendance credit and will remain on camera until dismissed.  Additionally, students are expected to be out of bed.  Lounging or laying in bed while a lesson is being taught will not be tolerated.   Failure to adhere to this rule will result in the student being removed from the Meet.  Students are expected to be on time for class.  Late entry into the classroom without permission or a valid excuse will result in attendance credit being withheld.

 

 

Cell Phone & Technology Policy: Technology is a TOOL for learning in the classroom but can also be a major distraction. Technology may be used with teacher permission. If you're not sure if it's okay – ask. ALL CELL PHONES will be surrendered during assessments and at the request of any teacher in the room, including a guest teacher or visiting administrator. Phones may be voluntarily surrendered at any time by placing them at a charging station located within the room.   Absolutely no social communication/texting during class. Pictures may only be taken with teacher permission and should not be posted online.

Expectations: Beginning of class: In seat, phone put away, working on Do Now when the late bell rings.
End of class: All materials put away, learning area cleaned of debris, and students should be seated while waiting for the bell.

Late & Missing Work Policy: Students are responsible for all work. Late work will not be accepted without a reasonable expectation.  Teacher will not "nag" students for missing assignments.

 

Behavior:

This is a law enforcement class and students will therefore be held to a higher standard with regard to adherence to rules, politeness, attentiveness and engagement in classroom exercises.

Talking, disruption, and/or rudeness toward staff or classmates will not be tolerated.  A warning may or may not be issued depending upon the degree of misbehavior. *Substitutes shall be treated with the same respect as your teacher.  Any variation from the normal course of classroom conduct will be dealt with appropriately.

 

Academic Dishonesty: Copying and plagiarism are grounds for a zero on any assignment. Students who are caught will not be permitted to redo the assignment. See the Key for more information.
All of the following are considered plagiarism:
Turning in someone else's work as your own;

• Copying words or ideas from someone else without giving credit;

• Failing to put a quotation in quotation marks;

• Giving incorrect information about the source of a quotation;

• Changing words but copying the sentence structure of a source without giving credit;

• Copying so many words or ideas from a source that it makes up the majority of your work, whether you give credit or not.

Content Warning (Explicit Language, Adult Themes and Violence)

During this course, your child(ren) will be exposed to language and situations inherent to law enforcement which some could find abrasive or offensive.  Because this class offers real-life scenarios to prepare students for careers in law enforcement, keeping the lessons/lectures as authentic as possible is imperative to providing an accurate portrayal of the professions identified in this course.  Failure to communicate a conflict with regard to this possibility will be interpreted as acceptance to this teaching environment.

 

The information contained in this syllabus is a tentative plan for the course and is subject to change as necessary in order to provide the best instructional experience for every student.
