Superintendents with fewer than 21 years of experience stayed on average for 2.86 years, and a superintendent with over 36.15 years of experience stayed in the same district on average for 2.91 years. These results are understandable as older superintendents are closer to retirement and hence leave the field, while younger superintendents may not have the luxury of picking their first-choice district due to their lack of experience. Superintendents with experience range between 28.51 and 36.15 stayed in the same district the longest, with 4.19 …show more content…

    A decline in literacy, an inability to recruit qualified college graduates for teaching positions, unequal access to educational resources, stagnant compensation for teachers, and many more issues all play a part in the decline of public education (Edsall 1). However, one of the biggest and worsening problems within the education system is the sharp decline of qualified people to fill teaching positions. Researchers have found that there are at least 36,000 vacant teaching positions and at least 163,000 teaching positions that are being filled by underqualified teachers (Edsall 2). Schools are continuing to adopt harder academic standards, and the teachers are left scrambling to try and make their own curriculum with little to no helpful resources on hand (Will 1). One of the biggest reasons why there are fewer and fewer teachers in the education field is the lack of adequate pay for their important jobs and responsibilities (Toch 2).

  • Education In America Has Been Such A Key Point In The Federal Government

    The Hechinger Report mentioned a “modest degree of improvement” in early 2016. This can also be attributed that many school districts are more focused on exceling in the yearly examinations and teach year-round on how to pass the test and not on how to understand the information being taught. The higher the percentage of passing students, the more recognition the school receives under the Every Student Succeeds Act grants. Consequently, the over enthusiasm of a school district in Atlanta, Georgia showed evidence of teachers who were inflating test scores in order to obtain better numbers for the district. This seemingly high success rate came attached to bonuses for the 11 teachers involved.

  • Year Round School Essay

    1048 Words  | 5 Pages

    School administrator positions have very high burnout rates and when school is all year round these rates do nothing but increase. In schools that go all year round many administrators find themselves only going through the motions and will have no time for self-reflection and to plan for the future of the school educational programs (Wildman, 1999, p.465). Year round schooling takes a toll on the students and faculty. When going all year people begin to wear down and they do not get as much out of the school day as they do when they are fresh and ready to go. The problem is not whether administrators can manage these year round schools in the short term, but managing these schools in the long term is what causes concern (Wildman, 1999, p.466).

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.

    The text states, “The superintendent did have enormous power of initiative in virtually all matters concerning the schools: the appointment of staff, the selection of textbooks, plans and contracts for buildings, the determination of the curriculum, and normal decisions about everyday running of the schools” (159). When examining the formal education of our current educational institutions, it is evident that the power structure lies with superintendents, school boards and principals who share expectations on how classrooms should be run as well as decision making for the betterment of the institution and students. Overall, formal education has evolved and will continue to evolve as educators search for their perception of the “one best system” for their students. Throughout the history of education, power structure and social class matters have influenced how educators implement regulations, interact with community members and fellow educators, but most importantly, the education of students so that they may be instilled with the skills and confidence to further themselves as
