Case Study: Chiefland Elementary

Miss Kane’s first grade class at Lutie Lewis Coates Elementary School (also known as Coates Elementary) has twenty students and seventeen of them are considered English Language Learners (ELL) (E. Kane, Personal Communication, October 4, 2016). This is very frustrating for both Miss. Kane and her students because it is very difficult to communicate with many of her ELLs. Out of Miss Kane’s twenty students eight students are Hispanic, five Indian, five Black, and three White. Miss Kane’s class is very diverse and this allows students to feel more accepted because not all students are similar. Coates Elementary as a whole is very diverse: Asian 28.86%, Black 18.26%, Hispanic 37.32%, and White 12.08% (Fairfax County Public Schools, 2015). Miss Kane’s classroom reflects similar diversity as Coates Elementary does. Both Miss. Kane and the Coates staff really show their appreciation for diversity and attempt to treat all children equally giving all students equal opportunity. Coates Elementary is a Title I school; about fifty percent of students receive free and reduced lunch (Fairfax County Public Schools, 2015). This school was placed in the center of poverty and many of these students who participate in the free and reduced lunch program are English Language Learners.

I teach in the Westside Consolidated Number Five School District in Jonesboro, Arkansas. The school district is a consolidation of three small rural town school districts Bono, Egypt, and Cash, Arkansas in 1968. I met with my mentor Mr. Scott Gaunt the school district superintendent on January 18, 2017 between meetings with district leaders and countywide superintendents. We met and discussed the community relations plan and identified the two most important issues for our district as identified in the poll by the Phi Delta Kappan and the Gallop poll. The issues were the lack of financial support for the school district to provide an adequate education for students and the testing and regulations imposed on school districts that lower educational time for students while in school.

Saginaw Public School District, located in Saginaw Michigan is the urban school district of Saginaw, Michigan. The district has approximately 7,500 students and operates 15 schools which include, 10 elementary schools, 1 middle school and 3 high schools. Over the past 10 years there has been a drastic decrease in student enrollment. The main cause of the decrease in enrollment include Michigan’s failing economy. The closing of automobile factories has resulted in a huge decrease in the city of Saginaw’s populations. During the past 10 years there has also been closing of many schools in the Saginaw Public School District. The district is also operating in a deficit and has been required by the state of Michigan to decide a plan to eliminate

The way the situation with the closing of the school was handled was extremely unprofessional and left teachers, students and parents feeling a sense of betrayal and frustration. The entire thing was much unorganized. Freeman-Brown Preparatory School did not communicate with parents of the students attending this school. The faculty had no knowledge of what was really going on; they were not aware of how bad the situation really was and that they were also going to lose their jobs. Freeman-Brown chose to keep everyone of out what was going on financially in the school. The financial issues affected everyone mainly the shareholders, they should have made them away of what was happening with registrations, finances, location and enrollment, with

In the school R.O.W.V.A Central Elementary the 6th grade has a problem with kids not reaching their AR goals each quarter. When they don't reach their goal it’s causing them to earn a bad grade. Students want to have a good grade, so they should make sure they read books that they can understand and read fluently. They can also take time and think about the questions when they take their AR test. You should set your goal at a reasonable number that is best for you. Maybe there will be more kids that will reach their AR goals this quarter.

Working in my community for over fifteen years and seeing my community’s lack of cultural knowledge motivates me to take the initiative in fighting , for social and economic changes in my community, which I believe starts in education. My work has given me many understandings of how others view the Washington Heights community with a very negative aspect. Mizrahi comments, how she discovered the value of community-based services in the lives of the poor and the working class, I can identify with her because I share her same interest in the community, (2012). This paper will present a community school, created by mayor de Blasio. An interview was conducted with Mr. Domigo Estevez, director of one of the community schools located at 185 Wadsworth

Charlestown High School wanted to promote healthier choices in the cafeteria. They wanted to increase the number of students eating daily in the cafeteria and to understand how healthy foods can also taste good. The students and teacher started by working in the cafeteria. They designed a display plate, and helped to prep food for the lunch service. Nutrition and Wellness students taste tested new options on the cafeteria line. Food Services surveyed the students about the menu in the cafeteria and used the feedback for future decisions. FCCLA Students created a video of the new options available in the cafeteria. The Nutrition and Wellness classes from Mrs. Cassady’s classes created menu ideas that could be placed on the line in the

Arrowhead School District is a wonderful place for students to learn, grow and become the next great generation of leaders and creative thinkers that this community will embrace.

As a taxpayer of Morgan County’s 3rd District and a parent whose children attend CHS and CMS; I would like to put forth my opinion on the generous fund that Mr. Wayne Solomon has left for Central High School. I regret that I will not be able to attend the meeting that has been scheduled to discuss the issue.

The target population for the experiment was a Metro Atlanta high school. The target sample for the experiment was high school students; including a ratio of three boys and four girls with an age range of 13 to 18 The mean age of the sample was 15.5 years old. Invitational opportunity sampling was used to allocate participants. The invitation involved an informed consent form, and of those who brought it in at the time of the experiment, seven participants agreed to participate. The opportunity sampling was employed because it was highly valuable due to its speed and efficiency since groups of students could easily be located (Jamison, 2013). The participants were allocated in seats assigned by their instructor within a

Due to a major increase in enrollment over the years, Springfield Middle School has had to add multiple portables behind the school to use as various classrooms. The door to the cafeteria has an electronic lock which requires a keycard to enter. If and when a student is called to the office, they leave the classroom with a signed planner and use the classroom key card to enter the school. The security issue here is the student’s easy access to leave school grounds and the possibility a stranger hanging out in the parking lot either taking the child or using the keycard to enter the building. Many visitors still come to the back parking lot even after that has been much discussion about only school building

I received the opportunity to observe at Jefferson Elementary School. The school is located in Jefferson, Georgia and educates children from pre-kindergarten to second grade.

I invested just over forty hours in the classroom this fall, spending a majority of my Tuesdays and Thursdays at Jefferson Elementary. During
