Course Description Form

Due at each semester that a grade and credit are given.

Filling Instructions 

This form is used to document courses that are parent planned and do not follow the  sequence of a textbook. It is the responsibility of the teacher (you!) to prove how much time has been put into the parent planned subject.

 

Counting hours:

1. 75 hours is equal to 1 semester of work (5 credits).

2. 150 hours is equal to 1 year of work (10 credits).  

 

Some examples of subjects that require course hours documented: 

  1. Physical Education—This subject rarely follows a textbook, so hours of sport or workout time are recorded. NO COURSE HOUR documentation is necessary for ANY sport played or P.E. class taken at Calvary Murrieta Christian School. 
  2. Home Economics—This subject sometimes incorporates many different types of learning activities, and so will need hours documented, unless an actual textbook or other core curriculum is followed. Remember, only 10 credits total are allowed for Home Economics.
  3. Typing—Only 10 credits total are allowed for typing. 
  4. Computer basics—If using a high school level curriculum, no hours need documenting.
  5. Electives—Depending on the elective, many courses will need to have hours documented for proof of completing subject matter.  
  6. Music—Music courses often are hands-on learning, and hours of lessons and practice need to be counted. Any concerts attended or performed may be included.
  7. Unit study type courses—Those courses where you are following a unit study book or course will need some of its subject matter documented as hours. These types of courses will need to be approved by the administrative team on what is documented hourly.

 

Samples: 

For each month, add all time spent on the course. For example:

Piano lessons: 1 hour per week.

Piano practice: 3 hours per week.

 4  hours x 4 weeks  =  16 hours a month 

 

On the Course Hour Documentation form, one month’s time is documented as:  

Month/Date:  September  

Hours:            16    

Activity:         Piano lessons and practice  

 

The subject at the top of the page should indicate Piano and the level. On this form, document anything to do with your piano course. If hours and activities are the same each month, 10 months can fit on one form. 

Course Hour Documentation Record Form

One per student. Due in February and June.

Filling Instructions

GRADE D =  1 point    

GRADE F = 0 points  


3. Grade point value for Honors classes are:  

GRADE A = 5 points

GRADE C = 3 points  

 

4. Using the point values of each grade, add up the points ( F grades also),  excluding P.E. Then, divide by the number of grades, (F grades also), excluding  P.E.

Example: 

4 A’s (16 points) + 2 B’s (6 points) = 22 points total, divide by  6 =  3.66

 

5. Always indicate the third number (the hundredths place), for example, 3.12. 

     You may round up to the next hundredths place. 

Example: 

3.129 becomes 3.13.

Grading Procedures

What to Grade

On the Report Card, list grades only for subjects that are taught in that quarter or semester. Do not grade subjects you have not taught. Not all subjects on the Report Card have to be taught at every grade level. (See Course Criteria-Requirements Section)

 

How to Grade

Grade the student according to how they have performed on tests and assignments and/or how they are doing in relation to what you are teaching them. If they are learning well and you know they have mastered each skill taught, they probably deserve an A. If they are not grasping it well and are having quite a bit of difficulty with it a lower grade would be more accurate. 

Grading Scale

You may use either O-G-S-N or A-F grades for 3rd grade and below:

Use A-F for 4th grade and above.

Grading Samples

Determine at the beginning of the course what percentage of the grade each category will receive. Then use the individual scores from each category and take a weighted average using the percentages that you have assigned. Shown below are sample grade calculations for an Algebra course and an English course.


Samples taken from www.hslda.org/highschool/docs/GradingGuidelines.asp

Late Fees

A $5.00 fee per sheet of paper, per month, per student will be charged for all late paperwork. If paperwork is not received by the 2nd month you will be contacted by the office. Due dates are listed below for your convenience, but these dates are subject to change.
