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.
