Entrepreneurship Syllabus
Course Description:
Students will gain the knowledge and skills needed to become an entrepreneur. Students will learn the principles necessary to begin and operate a business. The primary focus of the course is to help students understand the process of analyzing a business opportunity, preparing a business plan, determining feasibility of an idea using research, and developing a plan to organize and promote the business and its products and services. In addition, students understand the capital required, the return on investment desired, and the potential for profit.

In the process, students deal with absent employees, fast workers and slow workers, strikes, accidents and more.

Classroom Expectations

So, what does this mean?
The difference between classroom expectations and classroom rules:
Rules are created and enforced to prevent unwanted but expected behavior. Expectations are what is expected from each student during each class.
Classroom Rules
Be Respectful & Responsible.
- Arrive on Time with an Open Mind
- Come Prepared and Make an Honest Effort Each Day
- Take Initiative by Completing Work On Time, Cleaning Up Your Area, & Always Show Respect
- Support Each Other & Offer Assistance
- Students may listen to music while completing seat work
- Upon successful completion of all work (no missing work), students may use cell phones and/or electronic devices
Consequences: If you choose to break a rule……..
1st time = Warning
2nd time = Parent phone call/ detention
3rd time = Parent contact /office referral
Classroom Procedures
Entering/Exiting the Classroom: You are to enter the classroom calmly and quietly and begin the bell work assignment. Students who do not do this will be asked to leave and reenter as expected. You should exit the classroom in the same manner. The bell does not dismiss you. Do not line up at the door; remain seated until I dismiss you. All materials and trash should be put into the correct places and chairs should be pushed under the desk.
Tardies: A student who is in the classroom when the bell finishes is considered tardy. You will need to go to the office for a pass to enter the class.
Hall passes: The restroom may be used in emergencies. A pass is required for leaving class. Only one student mat be out at a time. Do not ask to use the restroom and run an errand during class time. Take care of your business before class begins!
Cheating: Cheating results in an automatic zero for all parties involved.
Electronic Devices: As per the CHS Student Code of Conduct, electronic devices (cell phones, handheld music devices, etc.) are not allowed in the classroom. You will, however, be allowed to use your cell phone before/after school, between passing periods, and during lunch. Do not come into my classroom while talking on your phone. If you have any electronic device that is not class related out during class, I will confiscate the item. It will be given to our building secretary and you must pay a fee of $15.00 to retrieve it.
Bell work: Everyday will begin with some type of bell work activity. It will be submitted through Edmodo unless otherwise instructed. Be sure to date your work every day. Assignments will be uploaded to Edmodo.
Late work: Will only be accepted at a reduced grade and at teacher’s discretion.
Make-Up Work: If you are absent, it is your responsibility to get the missed assignment, make it up, & turn in.
Retaking Tests: If a student fails a test, that student may be one opportunity to retake that test if all formative assignments were completed and the student completed proper remediation. They have ONE WEEK to do so.
