MARKING PROCEDURES
Career and Technology courses allow students to complete all assigned work to meet expected
learner outcomes. Marks of zero will be placed in the teacher gradebook until the student
completes the learning task. For students who do not hand in their assigned work prior to last
day of regular scheduled classes for the Term or Semester, the zeros will remain in the
calculation of their final marks. In the CTS Curriculum Personal Management Skills (ex: positive
attitude and behaviour, being responsible, and work safely) and Fundamental Skills (ex: manage
info, think and solve problems, communicate, and use numbers) must be demonstrated and
meet expected learner outcomes as we prepare our students for the world of work.
NOTE: All participants will partake with shop clean-up including storing all hand tools and hand
power tools in their proper place.
