Some examples of this are: being on time, bringing appropriate wear, being safe with equipment and around other students, helping and encouraging others, sharing equipment, and appreciating the differences of others.
2-45% - In class skill performance
This grade will be based on the quality and percentage of the daily class participation. This could include skill performance, drills, or exercises.
