Overall Curriculum Expectations ed
By the end of this course, students will:
Strand 1: Business Fundamentals
1 demonstrate an understanding of how businesses respond to needs, wants,
supply, and demand
2 compare types of businesses
Note: the tasks within the summatives above may change over the course of the semester to allow for teachers
to respond to evidence of student learning. Students will be notified in advance of any changes to the ANY
summative tasks.
Assessment and Evaluation Overview:
Final Summative Tasks will be used at or near the end of the course. Thirty
percent (30%) of the final grade will be based on the evaluation of final
summative tasks in the form of an examination and/or other culminating activities.
The tasks will be based on overall expectations from all strands and across the
categories of knowledge and understanding, thinking, application and
communication.
4. Academic Honesty:
Academic dishonesty, including instances of plagiarism and cheating, are serious
breaches of the school code of conduct. Any cases of academic dishonesty will
be reported to the school administration and a plan of action will be
implemented. Students may lose the opportunity to demonstrate achievement of
course expectations by means of that assignment, but achievement of those
expectations may still be demonstrated without penalty on other assignments.
Wherever possible, alternate assignments will be used in addition to the
disciplinary action. Disciplinary action may include:
referral to administration;
documentation of occurrence;
informing the parent/guardian;
a compensatory task (e.g., writing an article about “ethics”);
academic assistance;
suspension;
loss of credit due to lack of sufficient evidence.
