2 What is the course about?
This course focuses on the skills and knowledge parents, guardians, and caregivers need to effectively raise children. Throughout the semester, we will study . . . the process of preparing for parenthood pregnancy, birth, and the early years of human development (birth to six years old) effective discipline and parenting styles social and legal challenges related to raising children Through study and practical experience, we will learn how to meet the developmental needs of young children, communicate with them, and effectively guide their early behaviour.

3 How can I be successful in this course?
Show up on time, ready to work. Participate as much as possible, and listen to what others have to say. Ask questions if I don’t understand something, or need extra help. Hand my assignments in on time, or ask the teacher for extra time and help, if needed. Make sure to pick up missed assignments if I’m sick or away from class. Be respectful of myself, my classmates, my teacher, and my classroom.

4 Basic Course Policies Attendance
Attend regularly to ensure that you have the most up-to-date knowledge of what is being studied, what assignments are coming due, and the individual expectations of each task. If you are away, consult the course envelopes (marked by dates) for missed hand outs, etc. Hand outs will remain in the dated folder for at least one week, or until the date is changed. It is your responsibility to keep me informed of absences due to extracurricular activities, family commitments, etc. if they are known ahead of time. It is also your responsibility to ensure that you are caught up on what has been missed while you’re away.

5 Basic Course Policies Late Policy Deadlines will be assigned for all major assignments. It is important that you work to meet these deadlines, using the time and resources provided to complete the assignment. If you think that you will be unable to complete an assignment in the time required, it’s your responsibility to speak with the teacher and negotiate an appropriate extension. In order for the assignment to be graded, this new deadline must be met, or else a grade of “zero” will be awarded. Once any assignment has been marked and returned to the class, students who have yet to complete the assignment can no longer submit this work as a late submission, and a grade of “zero” will be awarded. Alternative assignments can be discussed with the teacher should you take the initiative to arrange make up work. Exceptions to the late policy will be made in the case of medical necessity, bereavement, or other exceptional circumstances.
