Curriculum Plan
Evaluation Plan

Each subtopic in the curriculum will be evaluated differently, with many of the smaller subsections within a subtopic receiving a different evaluation.

Students writing will be evaluated based on the criteria of each individual assignment and on the expectations employers would have for each type of writing.  For example, grammatical and mechanical errors on letters of intentions and resumes could keep students from getting a job, so evaluations will include real-world expectations of the reader.

Students will also be assessed with tests where it is appropriate, for example with subtopics that warrant memorization of information, such as job safety and minor labor laws.  This type of testing is contextually appropriate as employees are routinely expected to pass tests over workplace safety.

Students will also be orally evaluated, when applicable; for example, students will be orally evaluated when practicing professional phone calls or when interviewing.  This type of assessment is contextually appropriate as employees are hired based on their ability to communicate effectively.
