Baltimore City Public School Analysis

I filed an application with Chesapeake Public School systems, so that I could become a part of an organization that values teamwork, dedication, and academic success. Chesapeake Public Schools exhibits a positive, collaborative, and cooperative learning environment not only for the students but for their employees as well. Being committed to the academic development and success with the help and support of students, parents, teachers, and other staff members is a plus to any working environment. These are great attributes for any organization to possess, which is why I chose to become a part of the Chesapeake Public School.

Jobs for America’s Graduates (JAG) is a state-based national non-profit organization dedicated to preventing dropouts among young people who are most at-risk. Mullins High School is a 100% free lunch qualified school where students look for encouragement. Mullins High School adopted this program to develop leadership skills and soft skills that are essential for our students to be prepared for college and career ready. As an intern, I take this opportunity to determine the support provided by these extra-curricular programs in achieving the vision of the institution. Mullins High school is blessed to have Jobs for America’s Graduates (JAG) program. The program coordinator Ms. T is proud of her student members and their highly supportive parents.

Lincoln High School, which is located in a low-income neighborhood in San Diego, was a rebuilt after 50 years of failing to educate children. Rebuilding the high school was the answer the community had been looking for they were hopeful. Before the rebuild most students who attended Lincoln did not meet the standards for their grade-level, few graduated and even fewer went go on to college. After years of suffering and neglect there was little doubt That Lincoln High School deserved the $129 million it received from the city to rebuild. But was rebuilding the school the solution for Lincoln High School 's education problem? First we’ll examine, How the problem started, the decision making steps and if the plan was successful.

After analyzing the attached comparison chart, the Spokane School District compares to the other districts as for absences. However, Spokane’s population and number of certified staff is greatly fewer than that of Belton and Neosho district. The areas of significant differences are; number of sick and personal days allowed to be accumulated and number of days available for funeral/death leave.

The two district I chose to compare to the Youngstown City School District are Canton School and Mansfield School Districts. As I was going through the report cards I was not surprised at the similarities between Canton Schools and Youngstown, due to the fact that they are both city school districts. However, I was surprised with the scores from the Mansfield’s report card, and I am not sure why?

Being admitted into college is a difficult process, one that requires students to be diligent in their studies, engage in a number of extracurricular activities, and overcome the everyday pressures and challenges that high-schoolers face across the country. Admittedly, not everyone in the United States is born with the same opportunities as socioeconomic factors as well as historic injustices have contributed to a society in which some people are far more likely to achieve upward mobility – of which, obtaining a college degree is a necessary part – than others. While there is need to rectify this reality,

1. The Charlotte-Mecklenburg school system, which includes the city of Charlotte, North Carolina, had more than 84,000 students in 107 schools in the 1968-1969 school year. Approximately 29% (24,000) of the pupils were Negro, about 14,000 of whom attended 21 schools that were at least 99% Negro.

Take a second to remember your last Thanksgiving break of high school, senior year and midterms are coming up soon. Tuesday, November 22, 2016 is a day I will never forget, only two days before the day that was dedicated to being thankful for everything in your life. On this day one of my very best friends was taken from me. Though this tragic event created a huge obstacle for many of us, we knew that we needed to get through it together as a school and most importantly as a community. Many of the students and faculty in my school were very close to her and for some, this was a time that classes were being missed and that their grades were dropping due to not being able to take the stress. Administration soon realized

The transition from high school to college is a dynamic time in one’s life that parallels the change from childhood to adulthood. Both of these changes are dramatic and, as a result, feelings are difficult to put down into words. A messy combination of emotions fills the heart, surfacing in strange ways. Confident high school seniors go right back to the bottom of the chain when entering college as freshmen. These students start all over, just like entering grade school or high school for the first time. The move up from high school to college signals the switch from dependence to self-sufficiency. From a personal point of view, going through the experience of graduating high school and transferring to a residential college campus at STLCOP, made me realize I was no longer a kid and capable of making my own decisions.

This research will touch on the subject of At-Risk students. Students who do not experience success in school and are more than likely to drop out of school place them at-risk for academic failure. The brief will start with defining and explaining the contributing factors of an at-risk student. It continues on to explain the Iowa Standards to identify a possible at-risk student, type of intervention strategies, and differentiation that would be in place once the student is identified. A teacher can use motivation techniques and assist students make them aware of their strengths and personal achievements to change the trend. Furthermore, this research will trace on the role of parents in their children’s education. How does the Henry County

discusses the reasoningand history behind our public school system in America. In some ways I agree with him; the public school system is in definite need of revamping, while educators are in desperate need of anew system to teach our kids. According to Gatto, the school system in America was meant tocopy the Prussian school system. Regardless of whether or not this is true, I think the biggestquestion should be why we have not done anything to reform the school system? There should beno reason for graduates to feel as if they have wasted the last fifteen years of their life with pointless busy work. The creativity that was once praised has been pushed aside for a curriculumthat is based on “establishing fixed habits of reaction to authority.” Rather than praisingindividualism and innovation, Gatto believes our school system emphasizes the exact opposite,conformity and inanity.

My vision for the community I live and work in is based on the Resiliency Theory-- the belief in the ability of every person to overcome adversity if important protective factors are present in that person’s life. The Resiliency Theory is founded on the proposition that if members of one’s family, community and / or school care deeply about you, have high expectations and purposeful support for you, and value your participation you will maintain a faith in the future and can overcome almost any adversity. When a community works together to foster resiliency a large number of our youth can overcome great adversity and achieve bright futures. Focusing this writing on schools in not meant to reduce the important role of family and

Yet, the education does not stop at middle school, for high school really puts all the basic skills from elementary and middle school to work as the assignments and the exams become more challenging. We do not only learn about reading, writing, history, and math, we learn about the people around us as we associate with different personalities, and as we see what we have grown up to be and what we want to be later in life. Accordingly, the high school years are a time when teachers emphasize the importance of graduating and attending college in order to have a “succesful future.”

Our bold and compelling idea is to build a space where student and school success are measured not only by standardized test scores but by the impact of community uplift. The vision of the Upset the Setup Academy is to establish a school for fourteen to eighteen year old students grounded in identity, community, and service as the pillars of learning, that leverages student experimentation, trust, and shared access to power and decision-making. This will be a place where students defined as "at-risk" by the traditional school system will learn from cultivated relationships with mentors and peers, where (in line with the concept of Maslow’s hierarchy of needs:) students have all they need to achieve healthy lives, where students come to grow in purpose, and where the curriculum challenges them to demonstrate their learning through solving real-life issues of civic leadership, technology, and education.
