Sports & Entertainment Marketing II
Program Description
Sports and Entertainment Marketing II has been developed to provide students with the skills that business and industry leaders demand. As one of the largest industries in our state, all areas of sports and entertainment marketing are in need of knowledgeable and skilled workers. It is imperative that we make students aware of the opportunities available to them in this industry.
In this course, students acquire an understanding of sports, entertainment, and event marketing. Emphasis is on business management, career development, client relations, contracts, ethics, event management, facilities management, legal issues, and sponsorships. Mathematics and social studies are reinforced. Work-based learning strategies appropriate include cooperative education, entrepreneurship, internship, mentorship, school-based enterprise, service learning, and job shadowing. Apprenticeship is not available for this course. DECA (an association for Marketing Education students) competitive events, community service, and leadership activities provide the opportunity to apply essential standards and workplace readiness skills through authentic experiences.

DECA provides students with educational and leadership development activities to merge with the classroom instructional program. Please see Mr. Sullivan if you are interested in participating.
Absences & Tardies—see student handbook
Attendance is extremely important in the block schedule because of the amount of material that is covered. However, there may be times when students must be absent. Please be proactive in your approach to remain current with the course and communicate with the teacher. Students are responsible for seeing the teacher to makeup any and all missed work. PCHS tardy policy states that detentions and administrative referrals will be assigned after two warnings.
Computer Usage
During this course we will use the computers in classroom or various computer labs for educational purposes only. In the classroom, students are expected to only work on the given class assignment– students are not surf the Internet, watch videos, social networking, games, etc. Please refer to your WCPSS Student/Parent Handbook for clarification of your rights and potential consequences if guidelines are not followed.

Procedures
Guidance, Main Office, Attendance and Telephone Requests:
PCHS policy does not permit students to be in the halls during class time without a teacher-written pass or prior permission. All visits to see a counselor, someone in attendance or main offices must be done before or after school or during students’ assigned lunch. Any student feeling sick and needing to call home, please ask the teacher for a pass to the attendance office to call home. Students are not permitted to leave class in the first and/or last ten minutes of class.
Testing: Talking is not permitted during testing until all students have completed their tests. Students talking while others are still testing are at risk of receiving a zero on that test.
Paper Heading: Always put your name, class, and block number in the upper right hand corner of all papers and tests, unless otherwise specified.
Trash/Garbage Disposal: All trash needs to be disposed of at the end of the period or during a class activity transition. It is disruptive for a student to get up in the middle of a lecture or a class discussion just to throw something away. Please put only appropriate materials in the recycling bin.
Behavior: I expect all students to perform their best EVERYDAY. This means paying attention in class, actively participating in class discussions and activities, and completing all assignments on time. At no time is sleeping an acceptable classroom activity. Students are expected to abide by classroom/ school rules and accept the consequences if they choose to break a rule.
Extra Assistance– SMART Lunch
Students are expected to attend 4 (four) SMART Lunch sessions each quarter. Use this time to stay on pace, catch up, review, etc. It is strongly recommended that any student needing extra assistance see the instructor before school or after school. Every student has the opportunity to be successful in the class. Success is a choice!
