Keep it clean. Academic Honesty As a Pierce College student, you are expected to comply with the Pierce College Code of Conduct. This code states that students are subject to disciplinary action as a result of conduct violations, including academic dishonesty. Academic dishonesty is defined as plagiarism, misrepresentation of self or student work product, representation of the work of others as your own, cheating, or other acts of academic dishonesty. Plagiarism is defined as committing literary theft by presenting as new and original an idea or words from an existing source. Plagiarism occurs whenever you present those words or ideas as your own, regardless of intent. Students are expected to take responsibility for their own work and will be subject to disciplinary action for acts of academic dishonesty, to include cheating and plagiarizing, for failure to meet the accepted academic standards of Pierce College. In College Success, cheating and plagiarized work will receive a failing grade for the assignment for the first offense and a failing grade for the course for the second offense. In addition, academic dishonesty will be reported to the Dean of Student Success. A full list of possible disciplinary sanctions is outlined in the Student Code of Conduct which is available at http://www.pierce.ctc.edu/about/policy/. Safety and Emergencies In the event of an emergency, call 911 and then Campus Safety. The number for Ft. Steilacoom Campus Safety is 253-964-6751. Save it in your phone. In the event of an evacuation (alarms and strobe lights), gather all personal belongings and leave the building using the nearest available and safe exit. Be prepared to be outside for one-hour and stay a minimum of 200 feet from any building or structure. So long as it is safe to do so, you are expected to stay on-campus and return to class after evacuations that last less than fifteen minutes. Follow the directions of all college personnel, Evacuation Directors (orange vests), and emergency personnel (police, fire, medical responders, etc.). Do not
attempt to re-enter the building until instructed by an Evacuation Director or by three horn blasts or bell rings. Please notify the nearest Campus Safety Officer or Evacuation Director of anyone left in the building or in need of assistance. In the event of inclement weather, check the Pierce College website, local news/radio reports, or call 253-964- 6500 for a recorded message about whether or not the Ft. Steilacoom campus is open. If you experience a personal emergency or illness and are unable to attend class, please notify me through Canvas as soon as you are able, preferably before class. Note that you are responsible for any material that you miss. Successful students identify a partner in advance who can share notes and turn in assignments for you. Keep in mind, that due to the nature of our course activities, some in-class work cannot be made up and attendance/participation points forfeited. If I am unable to attend class due to my own emergency or illness, I will do my best to send a message to the class in advance though Canvas. A sign will be posted on the classroom door. Course Calendar Subject to change. Check frequently. Provided in CANVAS as well as the final page of this syllabus. Professionalism Early childhood education students enrolled at Pierce College are expected to exhibit professional behavior reflective of outstanding educational leaders. As a student in elementary education, you will be involved in creating supportive and developmentally rich environments where children are engaged in active, authentic, process-based, and hands-on learning. To this end, high standards that are observable and measurable include (a) the integration of authentic materials and technology, (b) best practices in both pedagogy and assessment, (c) the blending of developmentally appropriate instruction and creative expression, and (d) the accentuation of a positive learning environment through classroom management techniques that intrinsically motivate young children to learn. All students are expected to comply with: The National Association for the Education of Young Children s (NAEYC) Code of Ethical Conduct. It can be accessed here: https://www.naeyc.org/files/naeyc/image/public_policy/ethics%20position%20stateme nt2011_09202013update.pdf Early Childhood Education Student Information document for the ECED program.? Pierce College Student Code of Conduct Policy, available online at http://www.pierce.ctc.edu/about/policy/ As a student in ART 215 Art for Teachers, you are an integral member of the learning community. In addition to adhering to high academic standards and successful completion of learning outcomes, you are expected to model responsibility, demonstrate a readiness to work, engage in inquiry through critical, creative, and reflective thinking, use effective communication skills, exhibit flexibility, and show empathy toward others. This means, but is not limited to, engaging in respectful interchange with the instructor and other members of the class, listening quietly and openly when the instructor and others are talking, engaging with and thoughtfully participating in class activities, taking personal responsibility for your own learning and progress in this course, exhibiting a willingness to go the extra mile in participating in activities and completing assignments, and resolving conflict in a professional and respectful manner. The most fundamental standard that an instructor uses in judging professionalism is whether you, as a student of early childhood and elementary education, demonstrate the behaviors and attitudes that would enable the instructor to recommend you for a position in a child center or elementary school. If a student does not meet the expectations for professionalism, the instructor will notify the student and request a meeting. Students who
continue to struggle to meet professional expectations will be referred to the department chair and academic advising. Etiquette for Classroom Dispute Resolution: The classroom is a shared community where students and faculty come together to learn and grow. To this end, it is essential that it is a place of respect, courtesy, and civility. Please be mindful of the effect your words and actions have on our classroom community. The following policy ensures that our community is conducive to the learning of all students: Students and instructor share the responsibility to maintain a positive, productive, and civil learning environment. To ensure that the learning experience is based on respect for self and others, students are expected to adhere to the Student Rights and Responsibilities and the Student Code of Conduct Policy which is available on line at http://www.pierce.ctc.edu/about/policy/ All classroom and online discussions, activities, interactions, and assignments require students to exhibit professional conduct and treat one another with respect. Contributions to discussions are to be appropriate in nature, show discretion with language, and exemplify high academic standards. Professional conduct includes an awareness of diversity and sensitivity to the viewpoints of all individuals. Although you may not always agree with others, listening respectfully is a skill that will be utilized throughout your academic and professional career. Students are required to arrive to class on time, with necessary assignments, materials and supplies, and ready to work for the entire class period. In the rare event that a student is late for class or needs to leave early, please do so quietly. Significant and/or continued disruptive or disrespectful behavior prevents us from meeting our course outcomes. Disruptive students may be asked to leave for the remainder of the class period. If you have questions or concerns about this class or me, please let me know of your concerns as soon as they arise. If we are unable to resolve your concerns, you may talk next with either the Professor of Art, David Roholt or the Director of the Education Program, Krissy Kim. Both can assist with information about additional steps, if needed. Caveats This syllabus and schedule are subject to change in the event of extenuating circumstances. Due to perfume/cologne allergies our classroom is a Fragrance Free classroom. If you are absent from class, it is your responsibility to check for announcements made while you were absent. Most announcements are provided on CANVAS, however some important information may be classroom announcements. It is your responsibility to check with a peer if you miss a class. Personal Responsibility is key to a successful college experience.
