Attentive Accountability Attitude Attendance The 4 A’s of Grace King Attentive Accountability Attitude Attendance

Attentive What does it mean to be attentive? Compare and contrast attentiveness in social setting and in the classroom? What are the benefits of being attentive? How will attentiveness impact your academic achievement in this class and others?

How does one demonstrate accountability? the quality or state of being accountable; especially :  an obligation or willingness to accept responsibility or to account for one's actions  Brainstorm a list of people who are accountable to you and who you are accountable too. How does one demonstrate accountability?

Accountability

Attitude What does this mean? manner, disposition, feeling, position, etc., with regard to a person or thing; tendency or orientation, especially of the mind What does this mean? You catch more flies with honey than you do with vinegar.

Attitude It’s not always about you. You’re not going to always get your way!

Attendance Attendance is among the 10 employee work ethics most valued by employers. Attendance is important because students are more likely to succeed in academics when they attend school consistently. It's difficult for the teacher and the class to build their skills and progress if a large number of students are frequently absent. Louisiana requires students to attend school for a certain number of days to be promoted to the next grade and earn credit for a course. Under the law, students must attend school from age 7 to 18 or until they graduate from high school.

Attendance M.U.S.T – Make-up Seat Time I will NOT offer make-up seat time opportunities. If I have to come to work, you have to come to school! If you find you self needing make up seat time remember: It must be done before the close of the marking period. Time must be served completing work for each class individually (you missed 5 days in English and AP World History you must do 5 hours for English and another 5hours for AP World History)

Here’s a FACT of Life Sometimes expectations are put in place that we may not like or agree with. In some instances we can simply remove ourselves from those situations, unfortunately sometimes we are stuck there for a period of time, this is called ADULTING 101. If we are afforded the opportunity to remove ourselves, by all means, that is what should be done. But, if we’re stuck in that situation with no possible way of getting out, then we need to suck it up and make the best of it. With that being said…….
