The Harlem Children’s Zone is a community based education system started by Geoffrey Canada. His main goal with this program was to close the achievement gap between affluent and low-income children in Harlem and ensure that every student that attends the HCZ also attends college. His charter school, referred to as “ The Promise Academy,” is unique as it provides a high-performing academic program supplemented with a variety of social services including parenting classes, support system for former HCZ students who have enrolled in college, fitness programs, community centers, and an onsite-medical clinic. Children living in the inner city are historically low-performing students, because they are not worried about their grade on a test like

Union Hill Elementary School is embedded in an area of rich history in the City of Worcester. Their school building was built following the Civil War and has withstood the changes of time from its early years of a primarily Jewish Immigrant and merchant town to today’s urban neighborhood, rich in diversity but plagued with instability, crime and poverty. In March of 2010, Union Hill was identified as a Level IV School; it was a school that lacked structure with a chaotic environment with many deficits. There was a lack of supervision, schedule, standard-based curriculum, effective instruction and leadership. Most importantly, there was a lack of trust among the parents. They did not have the faith that Union Hill was going to give their children the best education possible. Under the supervision of new Principal Marie Morse, changes were made. There was a new level of commitment and passion among the school staff that drove them toward creating five areas of focus for the year:
As a result of the location of the school in a suburban community, the parents are very actively involved in the school. As a result of the active of the supportive parents in the community, the students arrived every day with a smile on their faces and generally prepared for learning. However, as with
In this letter, I hope to show you why I am interested in going to County Prep. County Prep has been my number one choice for high school. The County Prep mission statement says, “We are a dynamic, diverse and compassionate learning community…” From only this part of the statement, it shows me that this high school is not only an active learning community; it is also a distinct and caring community. This statement persuades me that every student that enters County Prep feels comfortable and that they are there because their future depends on this place. High school is the starting point to pick what you want to be when you grow up. I choose County Prep because it gives you a head start on college and I believe this is what my future depends
Medomak Valley High School, located in Waldoboro, ME, is the only high school in Maine School Administrative District #40 and serves students from Friendship, Waldoboro, Warren, Washington, and Union in midcoast Maine. For decades, the school district had two middle schools - A.D. Gray Middle School, which served students from Friendship and Waldoboro, and D.R. Gaul Middle School, which served students from Warren, Washington, and Union. In the fall of 2008, the year I started at Medomak Valley High School, the district opened Medomak Middle School to serve all seventh and eighth grade students in the district and closed A.D. Gray Middle School and D.R. Gaul Middle School. The new middle school was built at the Medomak Valley High

I read your posting for an Assistant Principal and am truly excited by the opportunity. I believe my experience aligns well not only with the qualifications you are seeking for the position but also with Shrewsbury High Schools core values of Respect, Responsibility, Collaboration, Communication, Equity and Commitment to High Standards. I am a dedicated and passionate educator with a diverse background in business and education. I am a “teacher leader” at my school now and having recently become licensed as an administrator, I am ready to assume a new challenge and opportunity as an Assistant Principal.
Sydney J. Harris once said, “The whole purpose of education is to turn mirrors into windows.” Many struggling individuals have turned their painful situations into positive ones with the support and guidance of teachers and positive role models. Schools frequently serve as recourses for students who experience problems at home and in social situations. These students are able to thrive and grow with the assistance of caring mentors. Melinda, the protagonist in SPEAK, and Tillie, the protagonist in The Effect of Gamma Rays on Man-in-the-Moon Marigolds, encounter barriers at school but discover teachers who are able to help them overcome personal difficulties. Both girls learn valuable life lessons and gain hope through certain academic courses, find important and encouraging mentors, and suffer ostracism at school for different reasons.
Please accept this letter and the accompanying materials in application for the Assistant Principal position at Thornton High School. Through my research of your school, I was impressed by its historic track record of success and the current opportunity to help students with the greatest needs. I hope to work alongside your administration team to advocate for teachers, support students, and partner with parents to build and maintain a school culture that encourages students to become intellectually curious, thoughtful, and compassionate citizens. I am highly qualified for the Assistant Principal position and bring a unique set of perspectives, skills, and experiences that include:
5- Laurel Palm Middle School was one of the top 10 performing schools. The school had a population of 1,500 students and they are multicultural.
The main story of the case Precista Tool AG is about the conflict in a family business, which showed in the following areas: (1) Parent-child conflicts & family dynamics; (2) Management succession problems; (3) Business-family complications and (4) The plight of women managers. Mr. Huebel and his daughter Greta have different insights in several aspects in the management of the business after Greta was appointed as the manager of financial and administrator of the company in 1983. During this period of time, Mr. Heubel's strong sense of attachment, reluctance to give up control and power and unwillingness to delegate interfered with Greta's management method. Differences in values, vision and management styles causes
The next school to present was Floyd C. Fretz Middle School by their principles Mrs. Slaven and Mrs Signor. Overall, Fretz scored an 84.5%. Looking over the information they received from the state, they concluded that the math program was doing well. Mrs. Slaved credited the students for their hard work. In addition to crediting the students, the principle said that the teachers have implemented a new program called HERE. HERE is a program where a teacher “adopts” a student and mentors them whether it is to improve academically or socially. The staff at Fretz feels the program works well with students who are at risk but does not do much for the advanced students. In class we discussed that middle school is a challenging time period for adolescence. I think the program they have implemented will help to greatly ease the challenges students face. In class we
