• If sickness or unforeseen emergency makes it
  necessary for you to be absent, you will be
  expected to notify the Economic Community
  Development (ECD) Coordinator , Erica Thompson _at_
  918-331-3255, so that class can be cancelled or a
  substitute teacher can be located. Please let
  the ECD Coordinator know AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
• Substitute teachers must have prior approval. The
  approved teacher will get approval from ECD
  Coordinator prior to finalizing substitute
  arrangements.

• Immediately following an accident, the instructor
  should first turn off hazardous source of power
  and move students out of equipment areas. The ECD
  Staff should be notified immediately by dialing
  3333 from a TCTC phone or 331-3250/918-344-0002
  from a cell phone. If necessary, first aid should
  be applied or, in the event of a serious injury,
  the victim should be transported by ambulance to
  the hospital. Both the ECD Administrative
  Assistant and the Evening Facilities Attendant
  are trained in First Response.
• The ECD department follows the Good Samaritan Act
  when an accident does occur. Please use your
  best judgment in these situations and follow the
  procedure above.

6

• The Board has approved attendance and grading
  policies which will be in effect for both day and
  evening school operations. Because we are legally
  required to maintain accurate records of both
  attendance and grades, you will be required to
  follow the policy established by the Board.
  Attendance is very important at Tri County
  Technology Center, and all students are expected
  to be in class every class session. 
• Class rosters will be in your class folder.
  Please review each name and indicate attendance,
  drops, no shows, or other specific information,
  and return the folder at the end of class the
  first night. If a student is not on your roster
  the first night of class, send them to the EPC
  (Educational Planning Center).
• In the event a student drops a class please
  notify ECD personnel as soon as possible so we
  can keep our records current.

7

• A class folder will be set up for each class
  which will consist of the following
• Attendance Sheet
• Student Verification Sheet (pass this around for
  students to verify that their information is
  correct)
• Instructors will need to pick up their folder the
  first night of class and drop off the Attendance
  Sheet and any other paperwork the last night of
  class. If by chance the office is closed please
  put your paperwork in the envelope hanging on the
  outside of the office door that is labeled
  Short-Term Courses.

8

• Observations will be made by someone from the
  Success Center staff. Observations are to assist
  in providing support and recommendations for
  quality instruction and continuous improvement.
  The results of your class observations and the
  students evaluations will be discussed with you.

9

• As classes have been scheduled, every effort has
  been made to accommodate specific requests for
  instructors. Classes will be held on the days as
  outlined. If an emergency warrants a change,
  contact the ECD Coordinator. Classes will be held
  on the dates and the hours as listed. Your
  adherence to these requests is appreciated.

10

• A course syllabus will need to be available for
  every course. All instructors are asked to update
  and follow the syllabus for the courses they
  teach. All class syllabi are available for
  reference in the EPC offices.

11

• As classrooms and shop/lab areas are used both
  day and night, it is helpful for instructors who
  share areas to meet and work cooperatively in
  maintaining classroom and shop organization.
  Short-Term Course instructors are encouraged to
  call daytime instructors, introduce themselves,
  and share their willingness to cooperate in
  sharing facilities and equipment.

12

• Class evaluations are conducted once during a
  class. The evaluations will be completed some
  time during your last week of class. These
  evaluations will be conducted by staff members
  and will be reviewed with the instructor. A
  laptop will be brought to your classroom for each
  student to complete their evaluation
  confidentially. If laptop is unavailable then a
  paper copy will be done.

13

• Frequently used forms and documents may be
  requested anytime from Erica, Laurie or Tonya.

14

• Where applicable, students will receive a letter
  grade based on the following grading scale.
• A 90 - 100 F 0 - 69
• B 80 - 89 I Incomplete
• C 70 - 79 L Loss of Credit
• If letter grade is not assigned please enter as a
  Pass/Fail for each student.
• Teachers' grade books should clearly show the
  criteria used for grading and should follow the
  same criteria as outlined in the instructor's
  syllabus. Attendance will represent 10 of the
  student's final grade (where applicable).
• Grades should be noted on Attendance Sheet if you
  are not using a grade book.

15

• A decision to cancel a class due to insufficient
  enrollment will be made upon the discretion of
  the ECD Coordinator. Help from instructors in
  recruiting students and encouraging enrollment in
  the Tri County Technology Center programs is
  appreciated. Everything possible will be done to
  ensure that classes have enough students to run.
  In those situations where classes have marginal
  enrollment, the instructors help and patience
  are appreciated.

16

• Mailboxes should be checked every night of class.
  This is a major part of communication with ECD
  instructors. Certificates will no longer be
  printed except for classes where a student gets a
  certification. This includes classes such as
  Basic EMT, Basic Guard, etc. and if a student
  requests them for verification to their employer.

17

• Any maintenance problems should be reported to
  the ECD Staff. Please report anything that needs
  attention (lights burned out, heating and air
  conditioning problems, unclean or unsafe shop and
  classroom areas, equipment repairs and others).
  Call the Evening Administrative Assistant at
  331-3250 as soon as possible.

18

• Paydays are the 15th and the last day of the
  month. (If payday falls on a weekend or holiday,
