Class Description: Sports Medicine is a two year class designed to introduce you to the various knowledge that medical professionals who work with athletes need to know and understanding. In year one we will be studying about these different professions as well as focusing on mainly what an athletic trainer’s duties are. In this class you will have an introduction to human anatomy, injuries, injury prevention, CPR/first aide, injury management as well as some other basic medical professional backgrounds. This class is considered a Career and Technical Education Course (CTE) and has a student run organization (CTSO) associated with it. Only students who have taken Sports Medicine can participate in this organization (current students or completers only). The CTSO is HOSA: Future Health Professionals.

Tardy /Late Work/Absent Policy:

Being a student is your job. Be on time for your job. Tardy is defined as being in your seat, working on the bell work assignment when the final bell rings. If you walk in late, you will have an additional assignment to complete. This assignment is due at the beginning of the next class period. Late work is unacceptable. All homework is due within the first 5 minutes of class and unless otherwise noted, all classwork is due by the end of the class period. If you must turn in an assignment late there will be consequences. One (1) class late = 50%, two (2) classes late = 25% and 3 or more classes late = 0%. For everyday you are absent you get 2 days to make up the work that you have missed and then the late work consequence will go into effect. If you are absent on the day an assignment is due, it is due the day you return.

Electronic Device Policy:

It is the school’s policy to allow electronic devices to be used in the classroom per teacher discretion. There is a great benefit to using electronic devices to enhance engagement and learning. In this classroom, many of our days we will NOT be needing electronic devices. Therefore, put away and silence all electronic devices. If I see/hear it I have the right to remove it from your possession. On the first offense you may pick it up after class, after that you may pick it up from the office. Electronic devices may include, but are not limited to: cell phones, tablets, smart watches*, MP3 players, or laptops. Students must have an acceptable use policy form on file with the school yearly to use electronic devices in the classroom (see student handbook).

*May continue to wear unless it is being used as something other than a watch*

Cheating/Plagiarism Policy:

No one benefits from cheating/plagiarizing. If caught cheating/plagiarizing you and the person you cheated/plagiarized from will receive a 0 on the assignment and a referral. If the assignment is for another class, that teacher will be notified and they will issue their consequence. Cheating is defined as acting dishonestly or unfairly in order to gain an advantage, especially in a game or examination.

Plagiarism is the practice of taking someones work or ideas and passing them off as one’s own.

Perry High School has a more detailed policy on this in the student handbook.

Assignments/Quizzes/Tests:

All class assignments MUST be completed in black or blue ink (or typed). This is an expectation of medical professions. No white out will be allowed. If you make a mistake, draw a single line through it then then move on. The only exception to this is on quizzes and tests. If you would like to use pencil on those you may. Quizzes and Tests may be given using ZipGrade. This is a scantron like app that allows the instructor to simply scan the document for the students grade. These are multiple choice or true/false or matching formats. All quizzes and tests may be announced or unannounced and will include a variety of question types including but not limited to multiple choice, matching, true/false, fill in the blank, short answer, and essay.

Videos/Movies:

Due to the nature of the class involving needing to view sports injuries, we will be watching several various youtube clips depicting injuries. Please be informed that some of these can be graphic and can contain blood. We will also watch various recorded surgeries including but not limited to: ACL with Meniscus (Knee), Elbow, Rotator Cuff (Shoulder), Hip Replacement, and Back. We will also be watching clips and full length feature films to help supplement the curriculum. These films may include: Concussion (with Will Smith), NFL: League of Denial (PBS Documentary), John Q (with Denzel Washington - for ethics), Brian’s Song (knee injury rehab/psychology), Dying to be Thin (NOVA Documentary - Eating Disorders), 1000 to 1 (Psychology), A Secret Between Friends (Eating Disorders/Psychology), CPR/First Aide Certification Video.

Grading Policy

This class is graded using a points based system. Everything pulls equal weight, but may be worth more points. For example, many assignments are 20 points each while tests/quizzes are closer to 50 - 100 points each. You will have projects in this class that range in points from 50 points and up depending on the project. On longer projects you are giving points for in class time to work and this is in addition to the total points of the project. This class is weighted with quarter grades being 40% each and the semester exam is 20% each semester.

100 - 90% = A

89.9 - 80% = B

79.9 - 70% = C

69.9% - 60% = D

59.9% and Below = F

*I reserve the right to round grades up as I see fit at the end of each QUARTER. Infinite Campus does NOT automatically round up*

Students are responsible for keeping track of their own grades. They will have a grading sheet for their notebooks that needs to be filled out consistently.

Notebooks:

Each student needs to have a dedicated 1” binder for this class. This binder will be used for the next two years (their time in the sports medicine program). This binder may be left in the classroom daily on the bookshelves. Students will need 5 dividers for their binders:

1) Notes

2) Activities/Assignments/Worksheets

3) Projects/Rubrics

4) Tests/Quizzes

5) Vocabulary

In front of their Notes will be a grade sheet and their warmups. Daily Warmups are to be completed daily and saved until they are asked to be turned in on Fridays. Vocabulary is due at notebook checks.
