Student Outline
Mr. D'Arcy's Schedule
[ACES Culture]
For our second Field Trip of the year we have been invited to visit a factory that is developing solar panels. Since this device is an integral part of our Greenhouse Project this year, early familiarity with this technology will be advantageous.
What better way is there to start the year than with a walking field trip to acquire the electronic components that we will make good use of? You'll also be aware of its location for your own personal projects.
I have no formal training in electronics or electrical engineering - I'm just really interested in this field. The knowledge and skill I have has been largely acquired over the last few years from learning alongside many talented Georgians and I look forward to expanding my capabilities by working with you this year.
I ask three things of my ACES (for most other things I'm usually flexible):
1. Do not cheat (your reputation would be at risk)
2. Drop everything, stand, and face any teacher or adult visitor that enters the room
3. Do not eat in the lab. If you need to grab a quick bite you may go into the hallway for a moment.
Growing Success, p. 29
Responsibility, Organization, Independent Work, Collaboration, Initiative, Self-Reliant Growing Success. p.11.

It is worth noting, right from the start, that assessment is a human process, conducted by and with human beings, and subject inevitably to the frailties of human judgement.
However crisp and objective we might try to make it, and however neatly quantifiable may be our "results", assessment is closer to art than science.
It is, after all, an exercise in human communication.
Knowledge: Subject-specific content acquired in each course (knowledge), and the comprehension of its meaning and significance (understanding).
Thinking: The use of critical and creative thinking skills and/or processes, as follows:
Communication: The conveying of meaning through various forms, as follows:
  1. Matches will last exactly 5 minutes
  2. Two qualifying rounds (total points) within each Section will determine the initial Tournament seeding
  3. The 1st Seed of Section 1 earns a bye into the quarter-finals
  4. The winner of each Section will play one match to determine the Grade winner
  5. The Grade 10 winner will play one match against Turner Garrow to determine the 2013 School Champion
  6. Technical problems of any sort with your laptop during a match results in immedaite disqualification from the match
Application: The use of knowledge and skills to make connections within and between various contexts.
