Teacher Name

Culinary Syllabus: 

Please get a packet from me that students and family's will need to review and sign

Classroom rules and the reasons for them:

We are in a culinary lab room, therefore, we not only need to follow the rules of the school, but also OSHA standards and rules of the Health Department.  I understand that not all classes are culinary based, but the room is a culinary classroom so we need to understand the following:

• Students cannot bring in outside food/gum or drink into the culinary space. There will be a garbage can at the door where you can throw things out as you enter the room.
• Students will put backpacks/personal items in designated cubby area and will not be permitted to go open them during class time.
• Phones and any type of electronics are to be put into backpacks before the start of class. They cannot be on your person (e. pockets or underneath hoodies).
• Students will wash their hands once backpacks and phones are put away.
• Students cannot eat in the classroom and all food from labs will be sent home in to-go containers.
• While students will be working in groups, they should not need to touch one another.
• Per your student handbook, you are responsible for having your laptop charged each day.  If you are not watching tv/playing video games or misusing your laptop, your charge should last all day.
• You will need your laptop every Wednesday and Friday for class.  I do not have extra chargers or a spot for you to plug your laptop in, so be sure it is charged before coming to class.
• All work is due at the end of the period and will be submitted in Canvas on Fridays using your laptop.

• What you will need to be able to cook in class:

  Student will need to complete a food safety test and earn 100% before they can cook.

  Student will need to turn in a white lab note and syllabus paper signed by parent/guardian.

  Student will need to be in good standing for the week (cell phone put away, no food out, not sleeping in class, have laptop charged, being on time to class).

  Student will need to wear proper clothing to cook: closed-toe shoes, a hat (hats are provided if needed), apron (provided in classroom), and no baggy clothing or jackets.

  Students must complete Wednesday’s Mise En Place IN CLASS with their group in order to participate in the lab on Thursday.

  If students are absent on Wednesday, they have the option to complete the Mise En Place paperwork at home and turn it in by 11:59pm on Wednesday and INFORM THE TEACHER OF THEIR ABSENCE so they can cook Thursday.

• Seating chart:

  You will always have an assigned seat. I will change your seat if I feel that it becomes necessary. If you have a problem such as you cannot see the board or you are sitting next to somebody you know will distract you in class, see me. Until then, you will sit in your assigned seat.  If you are not sitting in your assigned seat you will be marked absent.

  • If you are 5 minutes late to class you are tardy.
  • If you are 10 minutes late to class you are absent for the period.
  • We start on time everyday as if you are in a job. If you are absent to class (including being 10 minutes late to class), your group members will be moved around and you will not be able to complete your lab during class time.
  • If you are absent, you are responsible for getting the notes that you have missed

Weekly Schedule:

You are responsible for all work on canvas, if you are absent you still need to turn in all work that is due that day. 

• Mondays: lecture/notes 
• Tuesdays: group work and class demo
  (bookwork from previous week due)

Projects: 

You will need to complete all projects in order to take advance culinary classes:

• Projects are talked about every day in class and there is a countdown on the board with the due date.  This project is not given to students last minute or at the end of the tri.  Your student will know about his project from the beginning of the trimester.

  • Leadership Hours: Students will be required to complete 3 hours of catering/community service in the culinary classroom during the trimester. Anything more than 5 hours will be extra credit.
  • Healthy Family Dinner: Students will be completing a 3-course meal for their family; please look for this under the projects tab. Each day this is submitted late, the overall grade for this assignment will be reduced by 10%.
  • Lab Work: Students will need to complete all unit labs. Only 2 labs can be made up at home or after school on a designated day chosen by the teacher.

  Leadership and Healthy Family Dinner due dates are as follows:

  November 23rd  | March 8^th |   June 14th

• All work will be open at the start of the tri and will close one week before the tri is over.  However each week work is due on the due date so if you are turning in late work it will be worth half the grade.

Course Units:

• 1 Sanitation and Food Safety
• 2 Measurements
• 3 Knife Skills
• 4 Quick Breads
• 5 Eggs
• 6 Dairy
• 7 Grain
