COMPASS Class Syllabus

Class Description:

COMPASS focuses on increasing social thinking in the areas self-awareness, relationships, communication, problem solving and perspective-taking skills for students who struggle in this area. This class also focuses on organization.

Grading Policy:

Students earn 20 points per day for part of their grade. Points are earned as follows:

• 5-Morning Check-in
• 5-Planner
• 5-Behavior
• 5-Participation
• Students will earn a letter grade for this class
• 90-100% = A
• 80-89% = B
• 70-79% = C

Additionally, students will have weekly homework (Homelinks) worth 10 points each. Some classroom assignments and activities will also go into the grade book.

Materials needed for class:

Every day students must bring a planner and a pencil to class.

Because organization is a key component that is being taught to the students in COMPASS, I highly encourage you to check and initial their planner each night.

It is my goal to have each student independently completing their planner for all 7 of their classes each day.
