Active participation requires attendance, research, reading, reflection, participation in class discussions, sharing observations made in K-12 schools and classrooms, asking questions and giving feedback to students who are making presentations. 2. Attendance: Attendance in class activities is very important. Working collaboratively on projects/research/reports/presentations is an important part of a teacher/counselor's role. Class participation/collaborative produce grades will only be given to students who attend the class and work with their classmates on the projects. 3. Accommodations: Any student needing special accommodations (testing, seating, etc.) must notify the instructor within the first two weeks of class. 4.
