Mr. Healy – 2010/2011

Buffalo Academy for Visual and Performing Arts

Current Textbook: World History: Patterns of Interaction
 

CLASSROOM POLICY AND PROCEDURE

OBJECTIVES: This course is designed to enable the students to

successfully pass the Global History Regent's exam. The Global History and

Geography core curriculum's are designed to focus on the five social studies

standards and common themes that reoccur across time and place, and seven

historical eras. 

This curriculum provides students with opportunity to

explore what is happening in various regions and civilizations at a given

time. In addition, it enables them to investigate issues and themes from

multiple perspectives and make global connections and linkages that lead to in-depth understanding.

As students explore the five social studies standards, they should have

the opportunity to explore the content and intellectual skills of these

disciplines.

CONDUCT: These are the basic rules- 1. Be Polite 2. Be Prepared-

Students will not be permitted to return to their lockers for material they

forgot to bring to class. 3. Be on time. 4. Generally…don’t be a knucklehead.

Homework: Will be assigned every Monday through Thursday. It is posted on the class website 

and if you register on line, you will receive e-mails and text messages with new postings.
