Accommodations/ModificationsTeachers will use assessment and
evaluation strategies which include accommodations and/or
modifications to meet the needs of ELL Learners and exceptional
students as outlined in their Individual Education Plans (IEPs). If
you require any accommodations please inform your teacher at the
beginning of the course so they can make the necessary
accommodations.
Class work/Homework/Adobe ConnectAssignments, discussions and
quizzes should be done on the due dates provided by the teacher and
should be submitted by the deadlines provided. If you are unable to
meet the deadline please inform your teacher beforehand so
accommodations can be made. Students need to be present in all
scheduled Adobe Connect sessions. Sessions will be reserved for
teaching course content and/or for answering questions and concerns
about assignments and upcoming deadlines.
The Evaluation of Late and Missed AssignmentsStudents are
responsible for completing and submitting work for evaluation on
time. They are responsible for being aware of each due date which
is the ultimate deadline to submit an assignment for evaluation.
Due to the short time frames allotted for summer school deadlines
need to be met. If a student is aware that they will miss a
scheduled assignment/quiz they must advise the teacher ahead of
time and an alternate arrangement will be made between the student
and teacher. Professional judgment will be used by the teacher in
determining the evaluation of missed quizzes and assignments.
Culminating assignments must be completed and are due on the due
date. Students must write the exam in courses where exams are
scheduled. Both of the culminating tasks must be completed in order
for the student to have the opportunity to demonstrate their
learning and achievement in the course.
Policy on Cheating and PlagiarismStudents must understand that
the assignments they submit must be their own work and that
cheating and plagiarism will not be tolerated. Any assignments or
work that requires a bibliography needs to be submitted along with
the assignment, in proper APA format or a mark of zero may be
issued to the student.
Extra HelpIf as student needs clarification or additional
support please contact your teacher directly, through TDSB email or
through the chat or email feature provided in D2L. Please provide a
window of opportunity for the teacher to respond to your emails as
this process will not always be instantaneous.
