1. How might a small group of dedicated teachers embark on changing structures in schools? Identify the stakeholders the group would have to bring on board to effect change. I personally have tried this idea. A few years ago, everyone was complaining. I suggested that we ( a small group of approximately 18 employees) decide on a few objectives at a time for a particular amount of time. An example, we might have agreed to focus on tardies and severe dress code violations for four weeks. We would not focus on profanity, minor dress code violations, or other infractions in the code of conduct, unless safety or illegal activities were involved. Most of the people agreed, but we could not get the disciplinary assistant principal to agree. Without this principal, people were afraid of retaliation. The stakeholders include everyone who wants change. It could go as high as the Board of Education to the school bus drivers.

I chose to pick the high school in which I graduated. I graduated from Foley High School in Foley, Alabama. Foley High School was the only high school from the Gulf of Mexico to the Florida line up to Robertsdales and over to Fairhope. The population varied, mostly whites and blacks. I only remember one nonwhite or non black person. Cheryll had a multicultural background (ones’ ethnic makeup in high school was not relevant). The economic level of Foley High School was vast. Our parents were land developers on the Gulf of Mexico to factory workers to shrimpers and fishermen. Our neighborhood was as diverse as we were. Shelby lived in a Gulf Penthouse, Vicki lived on farmland, and I lived in a rented house in the town of

The reason of why Hazel took the non-paying job at New Hope School in Boise City was because she felt bad about the school not getting the proper support that the school needs in order to run smoothly. Another reason of why New Hope School was broken and couldn’t pay the teachers was because the farmers had stop paying taxes which led the school to go bankrupt without no support from the government nor the president. Hazel had a newborn baby girl named Ruth Nell; she died on dust pneumonia when she was just a year
We need assistance in pursuing allegations/charges against the State of Tennessee, Metropolitan Nashville Public Schools, Cane Ridge High School , specific staff of Cane Ridge High School, and possibly by officers of the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department. We are seeking to have the law changed, guidelines changed, policies changed, etc. to ensure that all students and guardians do not ever have to go through the living "hell" we have been put through again. We also want the specific wrongs against our "children", made right, and perpetrators of these wrongs punished. We demand that actions be put in place to ensure students are not used as "scapegoats", where one student is expelled on what amounts to a technicality, while another,

“In addition to organizational structure, the people within an organization determine how the organization functions. The values and perspectives of these individuals can influence how programs are implemented, how the organization obtains money and other resources, who is hired by the organization, and what services the organization provides,” (Hardina, Middleton, Montana & Simpson, 2007 pg. 29).

Gisselle Zepeda Mr. Lievre American Government Credit 5 Board of Education of Westside Community Schools Versus Mergens The Equal Access Act upheld by the Supreme Court in Board of Education v.

Over the past three decades’ educational leadership has been in search of ways to increase student literacy in urban middle schools in the southeast sections of the District of Columbia. The quest to closing achievement gaps in urban school districts have and will always be an on-going issue for educational leadership (Daly & Chrispells, 2008). Findings from research studies suggest that school leadership accounts for fully one quarter of total school effects on pupils, making it second only to classroom instruction among school-based factors affecting student achievement (Leithwood, Louis, Anderson & Wahlstrom, 2004). There are certain challenges that middle school principals face that pertain only to these middle school principals due to
Ex. C. 11:5-7. According to Burke, the infraction system could have allowed him more severe punishment for Paloma including referral to law enforcement, out-of-school suspension, or expulsion. The disciplinary action guidelines are purposely vague; they allow enactors the license to scope out problems as they arise and handle them based on the solution that
Politics also play a part in this dynamic on a large and small scale, from the board members who must campaign for their position to individuals engaging in self-promotion in hopes of improving their position. Legitimate formal power and direction comes from the top of the pyramid on down through the ranks. Perched at the top of the power pyramid are five elected county school board members and the county superintendent of schools. Below them are five assistant superintendents and at the next level down are a combination coordinators and program managers. Lastly, all other staff make up the base of this formation, having the least amount of influence and dependent on mid-level managers for resources, information and approval of decisions.

To help fix school systems we would need to start at the beginning I would place more emphasis on early childhood programs, especially for children in underserved communities. I would highlight the potential cognitive and non-cognitive skills such as motor skills and other educational aspects that would help the child grow and that can transfer to children 'academic life, social and family life, and later career life. Out-of-school-time staff would be given pedagogy-based professional development, opportunities for degree attainment, and residency-like programs to assist mentorship between teachers. This would be to make sure that children are not deprived due to there circumstances. Lastly, I would encourage cross-curriculum connections and
