Case Study: Carolina Forest High School

Beth Walton and I were able to interview Jeff Waldron the Principal at Newton High School.

Personally speaking, not being greatly economically advantaged, it can be difficult for low-income student to succeed at this school. Based on VSOL, and VAEOC statistics, it is shown that minority and low-income students take fewer AP and honors level courses and receive lower scores on Virginia standardised tests. This type of pattern year to year can be catastrophic to the future generations in the central Virginia area and it can be very damaging to a school's reputation.

County Prep high school has always had my interest. With all it has to offer, I’ve decided to make it my high school of choice for several reasons. There are things like the extracurricular activities they offer, the amount of AP courses they have. They are also offering vocational programs and LEAP courses. County Prep gives me the resources I will need to

Gulf Shores Middle School- On October, 22, 2015, the eighth grade students were taken, as a field trip, to Playhouse in the Park, to go and watch plays of Edgar Allan Poe poems for the mystery and suspense unit. The students were taken to see The Tell-Tale Heart, Ligeia, The System of Dr. Tarr and Professor Fether, The Cask of Amontillado performed by the kind people at Playhouse at the Park. They did this because they’re in the mystery and suspense unit, and they have been reading Edgar Allan Poe works, such as The Tell-Tell Heart. After the plays the students were expected to create think and answer questions about what differences were in the plays, and the original pieces of writing.

Greetings! As a rising 8th grade student at Sun Valley Middle School in Indian Trail, I would like to describe the problems I have continued to view within the school system and provide ideas on how to fix them. First, I feel the curriculum should be altered.One could observe that a rife of the knowledge we learn in school will either be forgotten entirely later in our lives, must be relearned as a result of how long ago it was taught, or most commonly, the knowledge rattles around in our heads and lacks use.Take for example, the formula for calculating electric current. The vast majority people will not find themselves needing to calculate the wattage of an electrical appliance unless they are an engineer or electrician. Even if you were to have a job in either of those positions, you certainly would not be

The case study of Ridgewood Middle School resonated with me in a positive manner. The elementary school where I teach, while not riddled with graffiti, shares many characteristics with the old Ridgewood. Our families struggle with extreme poverty and our community has the highest violent crime rate in the city. As I have mentioned previously our test scores are among not just the lowest in the city, but also the lowest in the state. We have an extremely high teacher turnover rate and I have worked with three different principals in three years. The teacher turnover rate would be even higher if new teachers were allowed to transfer. Consequently, we have students and some staff that simply do not want to be in our school. The successes of

Timberlane Middle School is located in the town of Pennington, New Jersey. It is one of six school in the Hopewell Valley Regional school district and is the only middle school. The school district is highly supportive of the arts and funds many extra curricular music programs such as marching band, winter colorguard, indoor percussion, and jazz band. The school directly located across from the Central High School, allowing for both schools to collaborate in multiple projects. For example, many 8th grade middle school students are allowed to join the extra curricular music programs offered at the high school. In addition, this allows me and my cooperating teacher to travel during the day from the high school, where my main student teaching
