The first two weeks of my internship have been very interesting. The school climate at the Middle School that I am currently working at is very positive. Students are at the top of the priority list whether it is in the classrooms or in the administrators ' office. Parents are always welcomed to come into the school and observe students in all settings. The school is a PBIS school that utilized strategies that will assist students in all settings in school. PBIS framework adds to the positive climate as well as creates stresses due to some teachers that don 't believe in the

The following vision and mission of Pineloch Elementary will never be fulfilled with an administration and their leadership team bullying, harassing and picking on teachers that they have emotional nonprofessional issues with. Vision: To be the top producer of successful students in the nation. Mission: To lead our students to success with the support and involvement of families and the community.
To create a healthy and safe school community I believe that the teachers and in general, the administration play the key role by practicing and knowing the policies and establishing these to promote specific values. Collaboration, strong relationships and understanding between all staff members through practices such as PD days or staff meetings allows for congruency and harmony within the school and will reflect on the students accordingly. Potential Area for Growth: My potential area of growth regarding TQS 6 is in maintaining awareness of, and responding in accordance with, requirements authorized under the School Act and other relevant legislation. Most importantly, the “maintaining awareness” piece. Truthfully, it is daunting to realize and keep up with all the responsibilities that a teacher must be aware of and must do.
With these funds the program is able to benefit not only children, but the families and community involved. The program is led by Servant Leader Interns, who work with the children to boost reading scores while also fostering a love for learning and emotional support. In the after-school program students receive one healthy snack and in the summer program the children are provided with 2 meals and one healthy snack. The program implements an Integrated Reading Curriculum (IRC), which is based on 5 components; “high quality academic enrichment, parent and family involvement, civic engagement and social action, integrational leadership development, and nutrition, health and mental health” (CDF). Through this structure the program is able to boost the morale of the children enrolled and teach them the importance of
This is a chance for the schools to reinforce their ethos and values. The ethos of the school should be felt in the atmosphere of the school environment as it is part of daily practise and activites planned by the teachers.

In the five years as principal, her school met exceptional growth in the areas of reading and math. When asked how the school had progressed with her as principal, she said, “I created professional learning communities to focus on student learning and differentiated instruction.” After much success as a principal at Sunland Park, she was offered a principal position at Anthony Elementary. Anthony Elementary had not met AYP standards for three consecutive years. When Ms.Perez got to Anthony Elementary, the teachers had many excuses as to why Anthony Elementary was not meeting the AYP standards.

The Process of Reflection The process of reflection is central to clinical supervision. Launer (2003) describes external and internal factors in supervision whereby clinical practice and sharing skills are external and reflection is an ‘internal conversation.’ Brunero & Stein-Parbury (2008) discussed the effects of clinical supervision in nursing staff and argued that self-reflection generates a sense of self-awareness and knowledge to the individual. Supervisees or students may be asked what happened during a clinical event, how they felt, the implications of their actions and what they would do differently if faced with the same situation.

Work with children Throughout my high school and college years, I have had several experiences with children that have all played a part in shaping my love for working with children. During high school, I spent two summers nannying for two young school aged children. Working with these siblings really made me realize how much fun I have working with children and watching them grow. Once I came to college, I started another babysitting job working with two four year old twin girls.

Dr. Freeman, We learned today in our curriculum class that we were on our own for our APSs. When Saurino was asked when our APSs were due, she said that she only assigned the artifact and that we were on our own to complete the rest. Good thing you booked a room for us. She has wasted so much class time on nonsense stuff that we could have done both of our APSs in her class during the time we are scheduled to be on campus. For example, today she reviewed the same stuff she has reviewed over and over.
I felt that the children were very well behaved than most children. It was a bit shocking. All of them were extremely respectful of their teacher. I am excited to continue observing this class the next couple weeks. Being in an actual classroom makes me super excited for my
It is true a partnership providing two way information flow from the teacher to the parents about the child’s classroom achievements and persona and from the parent to the teacher about the complementary elements in the home environment. It provides the mechanism
After reviewing the PTA National Standards for Family-School Partnerships Assessment Guide, it is clear that multiple items in my Community & Family Engagement Inventory reflect effective examples of the various essential features included in the PTA Standards. Strengths and weaknesses of specific initiatives become more easily recognized after reviewing the standards as well. One strong example that reflects the essential features of one of the PTA Standards is our district’s Strategic Planning initiative. Standard 5 states that families should be “full partners in making decisions that affect their children at school and in the community” (PTA, 2008, Standard 5, p. 1). The Strategic Planning initiative involved the development of a focus
