Philosophy of Teaching:
Family and Consumer Science is a discipline where we are building life long
learners while creating a safe and enjoyable environment. I as an FCS teacher I
like to stay disciplined, have fun and encourage collaboration and teamwork.

No race can prosper till it learns that there is as much dignity in

tilling a field as in writing a poem.

Grading:
Rubrics will be used to evaluate projects and activities. Attendance is
essential as this is a lab-based class. It is YOUR responsibility to
complete missing work and missed labs. If you are absent on lab days
you have 2 options: 1.) Written Essay, 2.) Home cooking makeup. Both of
these rubrics are posted on Google Classrooms. Late Assignments are an
automatic 25 % off.
25 % of your final grade will be based on class work. Your participation will
be based on making positive contributions to discussion, participating in labs,
being prepared with materials, and being on time with the completion of high
quality assignments.
75% of your final grade will be based on foods labs, quizzes, tests and some
assessment projects.
20% of your final grade will be the final exam. Final exam has two parts;
cooking/presentations and a written scan-tron exam.
Your work will be averaged and a grade assigned according to the following school policy scale:
100-93 = A
82-80 = B69-67 = D+
92-90 = A79-77 = C+
66-63 = D
89-87 = B+
76-73 = C
62-60 = D86-83 = B
72-70 = C59-0 = E

Labs are privilege and will be done not just for eating, but to learn the
basics of the kitchen, collaboration and teamwork.
We Cook twice a week starting during Unit # 2
You must maintain a 70% or higher overall grade in order to participate in
lab. Those that do not maintain this grade will earn their lab grade through
an alternative assignment. Grade checks every 2 weeks
Only use the amount the recipe is calling for, I only buy enough for ALL of
my classes.
The Kitchen is a place where dangerous accidents may happen so proper
behavior is crucial to prevent this accidents. Horseplay will not be tolerated
and will result in being fired from lab. Mr. Campbell will follow a 3 strikes
and you're out rule. If you hit 3 strikes lab will be taken away for the
remainder of the semester and may result in the removal of class.
